Been on a health kick recently and have lost a decent amount of weight. Only thing is, I've been struggling with building my abs.

Has anyone got an abs routine that JustWerkz™? 
Also, any other advice like when is best time to exercise (i.e. morning empty stomach to burn more calories?), do you alternative between upper and lower abs? etc
>inb4 abs in kitchen
Honestly, I don't think diet is an issue for me but feel free to post suggestions anyway

uh yeah, but you not gonna want it particularly. its just volume. volume means a lot of reps

start at a level you can easily achieve and do it for 2 weeks. Like 5 sets of 2 situps. giving little games and do it 5 or 6 days a week.
Make it so easy that you can always succeed, it is never hard to finish or mentally convince you to give up. easy sets are easy to do many times, so you can get your numbers up.

pick it so small you can fail and do it 6 days a week for 2 weeks. THEN start increasing.

look out for the time your body feels weary and you dont want to even bother, you feel exhausted thinking about it, that is body telling you to do less, so you been going too hard, do less. it is very easy to get super motivated and do far too much to be sustainable. you want easy and sustainable. you MUST do things regularly for it to make a difference. so one-off hero efforts are pointless.

occasionally do the max situps you can to see what the number is.

for situps you want to be thinking of total volume in terms of 1000's, to do this easily, start at much smaller numbers, like 10 a day total, work up to 100 a day total and at quantities that aren't hard to complete. easy sets are easy to do many times, so you can get your numbers up.

when your motivation gets burnt out and you exhausted mentally, you gone too hard, cut it back.

if you are doing stuff every day for a year you will have serious differenec to your body.  In 3 months you will really notice difference.

there are games you can do when your numbers are up, like take a deck of cards, then take one and do the number on the card. face cards are all 10.

every deck is like 500. then put 1/4 deck or 5 cards or whole deck, some number at start of day, and when you're bored, take another card so that you get through it by end of day.

or just do sets and reps.
10 situps, 10 times with breaks 

keep it at a level it isnt dificult and you can do big numbers, but dont raise the total volume too abruptly or your body gets weary and burnt out and takes weeks to get over. 

like you do 100 a day 6 days a week, 1 day do 120
then week after that 2 days do 120
week after 3 days do 120
and so on,
then all 120's then do a few weeks of 120

your body adapts to local strain and total strain per day.

it is the repetition many times at a sustainable rate that builds you big.

diet and so on is overthinking it, focus on picking a number and sticking to it.

and CHART the numbers. log it in an excel file or something how many you did that day so you can track it. if you dont you wont realize how far you come.  You will be disappointed in yourself how much pride you feel in writing a number in the box each day.
You want justwerks? Do as many situps as possible within 2 minutes. Alternate this with days where you max out your total number of situps regardless of time. Do five sets to failure each time. Start doing weighted sit-ups with a weight vest. Okay, there you have it
I'm gonna simplify what I said before

get big total volume (reps) 5 or 6 days a week. approach using something like one of these:

- split it into sets and reps (s,r)
- pyramids 1,2,3,4,3,2,1
- card deck (each card do the number on the card)

start with something easy so you always succeed.  like 5 sets of 2 reps of situps (10 total volume) and when you done it 2 weeks, start increasing reps and sets

if you start getting mentally weary and turned off (burnt out), that means reduce the amount you doing. you must keep it enjoyable to sustain it long term. Long term is what builds strength and size.

Log EVERYTHING so you have history you can look over

Every so often like every 2 weeks or every month do as many as you possibly can to failure (cant do any more). This is your direct measure of strength

You want to be jacking up the amount you do, but not getting worn out. You want to be targeting the 1000's of situps as your goal.

I didn't really read the other posts, but sure you gotta work your core. Still, in the end, abs are mostly built in the kitchen. Start cutting, fatty. 
>buh uhm not fat
Shut the fuck up, fatty. Why can't we see your abs then? Faggot.
Love you tho, keep working at it in the gym AND in the kitchen.
