- In this QUAH Sal, Adam, & Justin answer the question “Do I have to hit abs directly for every full-body workout or can I rely on compound lifts like deadlifts and squats to work the core? And just work out my abs directly once a week?”
If you would like to get your own question answered, follow us on Instagram where we post QUAH requests weekly.

ugh, fine i’ll work the abs
My exact reaction
I'm with you
Ugh same
I won’t lol
Studies actually show that squats don’t activate the abs much, jeff nippard went into detail about this. But I’m still not doing abs.
Why not?
Because it boring 🤣
@@adiathani4299 try ab wheel rollouts and sit ups with someone pushing you or punching you back
I learned the hard way after giving birth to my daughter. Abs exercises are necessary.Thanks for your advice.
Suddenly I can not hear
ahahaha
I have a kettlebell.. All these different workouts are definitely training different musclegroups including abs
The Rectus abdominal muscle should be the last piece of muscle considered to be trained in the abdomen area.
I just rely on stabilization, any type of flexing or twising of the spine is a no go for me. Farmers carry, tire flips, squats, deadlifts are my only ab workouts. They may not be visible, but they are dense.
do L sit pullups
Those compound movements are mostly isometric or shortened contraction for the abs. You need to use an ab machine or an exercise that applies load to the abs in their lengthened position to get full range of motion just as with any other muscle groups. The abs are a muscle. Work them like any other muscle with progressive overload and they will get bigger.
I do believe this isn't so simple. I like to compare this case to biceps, triceps, forearms and calves. If you are already doing bunch of volume for pulling and pushing movements, you do not need extra arm work. If you already are doing exercised which either via stabilization or direct activation engages calves, such as squats and knee flexion(since gastrocnemius flexes the knee joint also), then you don't need extra calf work. So in the same manner if you are already doing bunch of multi-joint movements and DO engage proactively the abnominal muscles, then you don't necessarily need extra abnominal work.
I personally don't do extra abs work. I do believe one or two ab exercises would be beneficial but not these 10 billion ones you see on trendy, false programs.
Like any other muscle, if you want bigger “muscle here” then you do direct work for it. If you’re happy with where your abs are at, feel free to skip direct abs if that’s what you want
ugh, fine i'll work the abs (2)
If you have Abs.... your not eating enough. LOL!!!!
😂 I eat like a king and my abs can cut you🥴 work harder.
@@monkefitness im jewish
Disagree
@@monkefitness lol
@@Juamacao2503 its a joke
😮
Imagine working abs. Think I will just stick to focusing on my compound movements.
🤡
How can you do weighted ab exercises with out machines?
Put a medicine ball between your feet squeeze it while you do hanging knee raises.
Bear crawls in a weight vest
Buy some bands
Renegade rows
Feet under the sofa, plate in your hands, held to your chest, do sit ups/crunches.
A lot of Powerlifters often even say, "why do I even need cardio?"
FYI pull ups engages abs too…
yea walking engages abs too technically
@@unlimited-liquid wait a sec was that sarcasm ? …couldn’t notice for a while
@@knowthyself9212 ya, sarcasm, maybe i should work on my delivery. but the point being that u not gonna build a strong core by doing pullups, but i think that was the point of the video judging from its title, although i havent seen it in a while.
stay blessed
It's kinda hard to train abs when I can't see them. Coach Greg Doucette said that abs are to be trained when you are around the 25% bf range because if you are slimming down, the body is slowly adjusting and it's hard to train something you can't see
That makes zero sense
@@unlimited-liquid ua-cam.com/video/chSUtTyLSd0/v-deo.html
Imma link the video for you to have a reference to verify what made my bias
@@unlimited-liquid "Yes-no- arguments goes nowhere. So imma just give proof to be judged. Just saves time.
@The Urban Nerd thanks for sending the vid but i didnt see him claim u shouldnt train abs unless you can see them. Ive heard coach greg state before that u dont need to train abs bc u hit them as stabilizers in other lifts but i strongly disagree with that as well and i think its something that steroid users say and they dont realize its bc of the steroids that they need to avoid training abs to avoid over thickening them.
@@unlimited-liquid interesting. Then can you give me some insight on that being false and if so, what exercises would you recommend i should try for abs? I'm 5'7 and my weight is 219 and I'm male. I'm open to improving if you would be so kind.
Does anyone get a burn in their abs from squats and deadlift? Lazy glass cannons.
My abs are dead after squats… front squats even wors😂
@@noobiedooby26that’s even more reason you gotta work your abs
But abs are boring and they hurt
😢
if you want a good ab workout, during sex underhook a girl and focus on ur ab mind muscle connectino when thrusting
