i know what you mean, i hate them. i try to tighten my abs during every set of anything, chest, legs, whatever.. it helps some what. i went out and bought one of those pull up machines for my home, and on the back it has a romain chair leg raise type thing. i also have a flat bench and like a 30 degree angle. i started to do abs at home. i just cant hit them in the gym. maybe try that.

take a look at the 45 days ab post and read what I posted, it's what I've done for several weeks.

If nothing else, it's not boring....

I agree with wilk on the "tighten" theory, I feel you should tighten real hard at the top of each rep for lets say crunches, you definitly get more out of each rep, also something I do is when i hit failure on something like crunch/situps, I will rest for about 5-8 seconds take a breath so that painful fatigue feeling leaves, and then burst out another 5-7, rest, repeat, rest repeat... Im thinking the trick is to keep yourself at that pain berrior since those last reps are the real ones that count
