Great abs come with a great diet. You can do all the crunches you want, but without a clean diet, you won't lose that layer of fat.

Also remember exercises like Squats, deadlifts, rows, pull ups, dips, heavy shrugs, etc....give you the 6pack, not necessarily doing million crunches...

Also remember to keep increasing intensity of ab exercises....and keep reps low...abs respond better to heavy weight and low reps.....with fast/explosive tempo....sets of 5 reps are good ....

Tim is right on..... unless your nutritional aspect is right...you're never going to get your 6pack....You probably need to start losing body fat ....you need to be around 9% to start to see abs....and around 5-7% for crisp abs....

Your diet means..what you eat during the day...doesn't mean anything highly restrictive necessarly...What do you eat in a typical day? Good work on the improvements though :)
