Your favorite ab exercises

What're your favorite ab exercises??

I'm looking for a few new good exercises to incorporate eod...part of my new years resolution to hit abs more consistently
 
Hanging leg raises and decline bench sit ups. Bodyweight first then weighted.

I do some decline leg lifts too, that's gotta be one of my favs. Can't think of the name...but you hold the top of the bench with your hands and have your legs down the decline part, and raise your legs up to where your butt comes off the bench
 
Planks, for as long as you can hold em. Best one for obliques too

Really? Not griping here but are planches that effective? I can do over 5 mins either on palms or forearms, and over 2 mins with a 45lb plate on my back.

The only thing I know that really burns the abs is cable crunches where I squeeze hold at the bottom, and also make sure to open up fully when I return to starting point, do about 15-20 of those and then about 10 where I short-crunch and squeeze at the bottom. That hurts.

I used to do standing hip rotations with cables at waist level - very effective for abs.

Now I think my mid section is overly thick relative to legs and arms, so I don't work it that much.
