Should I do abs to increase deadlift and squat?

[LeRandomName]

I haven't done abs since february 2013. I wonder if it will help my deadlift and squat if i add weighted crunches to the routine?

I hate working abs too but recently as the weights get heavier & heavier I start to do good mornings on my squat so I do stuff like cable crunches

Ok, thank you

I think a strong core is important, but I dont really think it will effect your lift numbers much. Plus you are still in the noob gains area.

Then why do you think its important?

[WilkinsonSword]

Not really important. Just squat and deadlift and it will improve.

To keep a strong core, if you have a weak core your form will be horrible and you could be more prone to injury when going heavier, and if you dont work your abs your lower back will be dominant and you will have issues. ( my brothers abs were too strong compared to his lower back and it gave him back problems)

as mentioned, your lifts haven't quite reached the level where ab work will make or break you....

as they start to increase though, fixing muscular imbalances will become helpful and eventually essential....

basically, it couldn't hurt, besides for the fact that as a novice, your goal should be to do the most optimal exercises in the least amount of time when you hit the gym

good luck on them lifts bro

Yeah, I can feel that my core gives up before my legs on the squat.
Will incorporate some ab exercises

Thanks for the advices

will improve your core = make ur lifts bigger (not that much either)
but if you ask me core is pretty important (not related with sq and dl)

Your lower back is way more important than your abs,i stalled on squats and deads for like 2 months,started doing weighted hyperestensions like 6 sets, very hesvy, and it gave me like 10kg in an instant.

I would agree strengthen your lower back primarily, don't forget about core work but make sure your not neglecting your lower back work.

Don't neglect anything, youll look goofy
