Is it true that crunches aren't really good for getting a six pack?

Crunches, cable crunches, leg raises, etc... all are good for working the abdominal muscles.
Then again, so are squats, deads, clean & jerk, Rows...not ab exercises for sure but they work them indirectly.
But to get the sixpack, your two best choices are:
1. sprints (any cardio will do but these are best)
and
2. pushbacks - push back from the table. Abs are made in the kitchen and on the track, not in the gym.
Most real lifts build the abs to an extent as well as direct ab work of course, but to show them you've got to focus on diet and cardio.

Lower your bodyfat % with cardio/diet. Crunches will make them stronger but not more visible. In my experience the weighted ab machines work your ab muscles and make the muscle bigger so they poke thru more easily, but if you've got like 15% bodyfat it still wont really show.

^ agree
It's all diet. You could be able to do 1000 crunches in a row, but if you have 20% bodyfat, they ain't gonna show.
You and 95% of the world population. This is one of the biggest mis-conceptions in the world.
Exactly.

The abs exercises I got were from a guy that is in Masters and reps Florida. He has done shows for NPC for a long time. He is a personal trainer and has been for years. Looks great for over 40 and has 4 kids.
He told me not to do the machine version, something about making stomach bigger. Can't remember all of the conversation, but he suggested to do center, left and right. my other buddy with large arms and great body (bber to a tee) said to work on abs everyday.
(oh, don't go too far into those recipes, you might not like what you find)
