There are a lot of good abs training instructors. I tend to use Wesley Virgin and Scott Herman, because their body mechanics and delivery are correct. This guy is over the top in his conditioning. If want an exercise that will burn your abs out look at this tutorial.

My experience is that the type of exercise you do is less important than two other, more basic principles:

1. Do it regularly.
2. Always go to failure.

I don't think gut punching is good exercise for building abs.

I would think it would be a fun one. Most of us tense our abs when getting punched and one can be punched to failure . Isnt muscle recovery from tensing and stimulation a muscle strengthening exercise?

I think gut punching might improve things like connective tissue strength, but not your abs specifically. I'm not sure about any of that though, so don't take my word for it.

Anyone wanna share their six-pack workout? Obviously, diet is important. But in addition to eating right, what workouts are good at building core muscles? From what I read, you pretty much have to use weights to grow the muscles.

Also, for anyone with some specialized knowledge - does gut punching help build muscle, or is it really just destructive and not a useful part of a workout routine?

Losing weight helps a lot with abs visibility. Gut punching doesn't do any conditioning. I've seen some vids of people using it to help learn to contract the abs. My favourite exercises
Cable machine abs crunch. You can do pretty high weight with this.
Leg raises hanging from bar. Start knees bent, go to chest. Keep head down looking at belly button!
Torso rotation cable machine
One arm side bends on cable. I prefer low handle but take care of your back with this one.
Then floor work... Russian twists, some crunch variant, abs roller, plank, side plank. Finish with reverse crunch on gym ball.
Usually spend around 45 mins on the above each gym session, a few times a week. Reps 12-15 on cables. 30 max on floor. If you can do more than that you're form probably needs improving to hit the right spot.
Anyway as long as you do it regularly, the exact content is less important!
