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?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Lifts that target abs?

"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.

I find pullups/chinups work the abs, and lots of stuff exercise ball related
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
