Squats and Abs

Post by pedd0r »

Hi,

since I've been here I've allways heard that Squats and Deadlifts are much better to deveope ripped abs then normal ab qork like crunches for example.
But now question: WHY? ^^ Well I supposed Deadlift are for the lower back and squats for the legs! I can't imagine how they work on the abs, can anybody explain it please? ^^

when you squat your core(abs) needs to stabilise the load and balance you out.

Well I do Squats, but I do them with the smith machine, so I guess I do not need to stabilize that much like with a free weight and thats why... ^^
