Does anyone know what workouts work on the upper two abs to gain an eight pack? After watching 300, it got me really motivated.

So far I'm doing this: http://kbierek.powweb.com/shapefit-pics/abs-exercises-cable-crunches.gif

Right, but the thing is, do you know of any workouts that primarily work on the top 2 getting the 8 pack? The usual ab exercises I do are giving me only the 6, including the leg raises.

Yeah, I'm currently doing cable crunches. Leg raises? Doesn't that work on lower abs?

any movement where the legs/knees come towards your head will EMPHASISE the lower abs and anything where your head comes towards your feet will EMPHASISE the upper abs
