If you can do 75 reps of an exercise then it isn't challenging enough to develop any kind of strength adaptation.

Hell if you can do over 15 it won't be doing much other than giving a bit of endurance. If you want strong abs then you need more challenging movements.

Crunches also get a lot of help from the hip flexors and there is little pelvic tilt happening.

Try ab roll out/hanging leg raises and circles instead.

Also don't neglect your lower back and glute muscles in favour of your abs or you'll end up with postural issues.

I don't do an awful lot of ab work as I tend to find that I respond to compound exercises where the core muscles have to stabilise the movement, pull ups, press up variations, hand stands, military press, squats, dead lifts, cleans etc.

The stuff scrap posted takes it up 100 levels from there!

Great video Scrap added some of those to my workout routine and loving it. I find sit ups, crunches and leg raises to easy so this is just what I need to shock my abs again.
