Whey, when i "replied to this" did this go to the top, not indented? Well, whatever :-)
i would say "for show" and "for strength" are very different. Why do you think they are the same and therefore group them? Show has elements of size, but mainly low bodyfat. I would also say for strength and to take a punch is largely the same. The one difference is "toughness' simply developing resistance to surface abrasion.
The only addition to training for strength would be what competitive fighters do - take a lot of punches.
it all depends. ive seen 6 and 8 packs double up with just a few medium punches. on the other hand have seen ones that you think would dubble up quickly, actually take a lot more than any one at the session thought
Part is training, lots of good ab exercises like crunches, medicine ball, etc.......a good part is learning to enjoy the physical endorphin rush of fist to belly and all the accompanying sounds, and part is psychological opening up to dominance and surrender
Obviously training abs for show/strength is different than training them to get punched, because most people who train their abs, don't do it for that purpose. So, to those of you who do train to be able to take punches, what's your routine like? How do you make your abs more durable, more resistant to pain, being able to have them destroyed for longer periods of time?

Totally agree learn to enjoy the physical rush on top of some training

and of course having them rocked by others build durability too if not over done
