We all have the same story.
We were flipping through ESPN 3 (or 4, or “U” or whatever) at 4AM and saw a bunch of ripped, good-looking people doing ridiculous-looking pull-ups and other odd exercises.
We didn’t care so much for the exercises, the commentary, or for the infomercials that occupy this time slot, but we did care about the athletes’ abs.
They all had abs and they all looked like something from out of 300.
And we wanted them!
So, the story about how you got into CrossFit may not be exactly the same, but the prospect of developing insane abs was probably near the top of the list. Of course we all know that “abs are built in the kitchen”, but it couldn’t hurt to accelerate this growth by performing one of the top CrossFit ab workouts, right?
Lucky for you, I got 11 for you to choose from today. I can already hear those six packs rippin’!

The Top 11 CrossFit Ab Workouts
2023 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals WOD 4
May as well start with a workout that is both a heck of an ab workout (good luck with all of those GHD sit-ups and V-ups!) as well as being a workout that courted a bit of controversy. Are V-ups really that hard to get right?
Maybe they are that hard, after all! At least make sure you get your row calories and flow correct on this one!
2017 Rider’s Throwdown WOD 2
Most wouldn’t consider Diane (which the second half of this workout essentially is) to be lumped in with Crossfit Ab workouts, persay.
…but take a look at the first part of this one…45 GHD sit-ups to get your core nice and primed before the deadlifts and other fun begins.
You’ll never look at one the top “Girls of CrossFit” WODs the same again after this one!
Jorge
155 pounds is, at least for me, when I have to start thinking about my squat cleans a bit more. I actually need to start bracing when it gets this heavy (as laughable as that sounds!)
Considering that there are 45 reps of these in this one, you could say it requires quite a bit of bracing.
…then throw in 90 GHD sit-ups!
Abs…engaged!
Mr. Joshua
A lot of GHD sit-ups.
A lot of deadlifts
There really isn’t much else to say. This one is an ab and core killer!
