Squats and Deadlifts are regarded as the Best Ab Exercises for overall abdominal development for Six Pack Abs. This is due to the stress the ab muscles of the body undergo when balancing the weight of the barbell from the movement of these exercise for abs.
Even though you may not notice a burning sensation
in your ab muscles
when undertaking squats or deadlifts for the first time, believe me, if
you do them for a good number of sets and reps (5x10) with a heavy
weight you WILL feel it in the morning!
