Do I workout abs when bulking?

[the_general64]

First off I'm pretty lean. I'm 6'3 and I weigh 204. I never has never incorporated abs into my workout routine but am now considering it. The problem is this though. I drink a protein shake using whole milk and typically don't watch my fat intake and I've read that there is no point in doing any sort of ab routine when your diet isn't right. So do I not do any sort of ab workout until I'm done bulking and lower my fat intake or do I work the abs anyway? any adivice would be greatly appreciated.

Work your abs bro. you have no reason not to. Not working them makes zero sense.

abs are core to your body. they protect all your organs in the mid section and very important for overall strength. so yes work em

 

[charley]

You'll need your abs to keep everything in balance.......

 

[ShreddedOatz]

Core is the most important bro. Weak core weak lifts!

Very true.
At one point I couldn't bench as much as I do now just because my lower back couldn't handle it. Every time I would bench I would twirk my back. Started doing more deadlifts and the problem was solved.
Now I am concentrating on training my ENTIRE body, but I have my weak points--which I am working on!

I don't know that you necessarily have to do crunches and such. If you're bulking you should already be lifting the shit out of your core exercises anyway.

bulking does not mean eat all the fat you can.....and working out abs has nothing to do with bulking or not ...it is a muscle like all other muscles...

 

[redz]

Yeah I agree bulking isn`t a hall pass to eat as much fat as you want.

If your eating habits are fucked up it really won't matter anyway.

But if you're more concerned with stability than appearance, then work them.

 

[squigader]

Yes. If you want hypertrophy, you work them. They're a muscle just like any other.
