I like approaching my abs the same was as i do every other muscle in my body, heavy weights low reps once a week.
It's taking a while to fill out my ribcage (i have a very big bone structure, i'll still look like a twig at 220 most likely), but my abs are damned strong. They've never given up on me during heavy lifts and compound exercises and look much 'thicker' than when i've just done normal bodyweight exercises.
Go heavy with your exercise regime is my advice.
Do you heavy compound weight lifting (e.g. squats, deadlifts, bench press e.t.c:?) as those will give you nice abs very quickly.
