Just curious, I have been getting a little bored with my ab routine so looking if anyone has a good suggestion. I youtubed some but like to hear other people's opinions.
I feel like my hardest is either a 6 inch w/ a mes ball at end of feet or starfish crunches 15 r /15 l / 15 both

Oh no, I do a variety of exercises within the 10 min. Just looking for some different ones to incorporate.

Why without a pull-up bar?

I use the pull up bar as part of my routine like wide grip pull-ups, pull-ups, hanging leg raises, chin-ups.

I just like to end up on ground when starting core work at end with a stretch included in a cool down

Planks with 45s on your back. The easier it’s gets the more weight you stack on. Do holds for time. Try and beat your PRs each week.

Wrestler's bridges if you're flexible and don't have any spine/neck problems. Plus if I hold a bridge for a couple of minutes before bed I sleep like a baby.

I like working with cables. Pavlov Press, Cable Wood Chops.

Leg raises, planks, side planks and incorporating the viper into some stuff as well. Mostly everything I do is anti-rotational.

Suitcase carries / suitcase deadlifts
Med ball wall toss and slams

And yes, I’ll even finish with crunches for the burn. I know it’s basically a waste.

Tons of different things, many mentioned in this thread. Planking is hard to beat.

One that isn't just limited to core but is a total body functional movement that hits the core like crazy are Turkish Get Ups.
