Would weighted decline crunches help squats and deadlifts?

Abs aren't directly involved in deads or squats so I fail to see how that exercise could possibly assist those exercises.

abs are used as a stabilizer in both squats and deads, so yes, better abs can help your squat and deadlift.

Actually strengthening your core is a good idea all in all as allot of compounds are taxing on your core. Squats, deadlifts, standing MP... hell even pull-ups could benefit from core work."The Iron never lies to you. You can walk outside and listen to all kinds of talk, get told that you're a god or a total bastard. The Iron will always kick you the real deal. The Iron is the great reference point, the all-knowing perspective giver. Always there like a beacon in the pitch black. I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds" - Henry Rollins
