Which heavy lifts also train your abs? I haven't been training my abs but I've been doing a lot of lifts. I know a guy who told me he did 100 situps every day for 2 years straight and he has great abs but there must be easier ways right?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Lifts that target abs?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

I find pullups/chinups work the abs, and lots of stuff exercise ball related
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

www.exrx.net has a great directory of exercises, listed by muscle and muscle group.
each exercise also lists target muscles, synergistic muscles, stabilizers and etc.
squats even use your stomach some, it's antagonistic to your spinal erectors

There are still massive amounts of people misinformed on Abs and six packs and so on.
There is no such thing as spot reduction. This means, you can do 10 million situps a day and still have no visible abdominals. Why's this? Because you burn fat all over your body at the same rate. Doing crunches will not maximize fat burn in your abdominals, contrary to popular believe. Sure, it will make them stronger, but people with big bellys are just wasting their time relying on ab exercises.
The answer is your diet and cardio. The #1 component of getting great abs is a good diet. You must cut down your Bodyfat. Once your bodyfat is around the % where you can actually see some of your abdominals, that is when you can start worrying about toning those babies.

The key to abs is low body fat.
Never trained them? Run and they will show.
A lot of lifts are stabilized by your abs, so don't worry about that.
What you can do, is do crunches, situps, leg raises, incline situps, they will all work the abs well.

Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.
