I go back and forth on whether or not I think direct ab work really has any effect on the abs. generally, most of my ab/core work comes in the way of compound movements such as squats, cleans, snatch, etc. I always feel like the abs are going to show through based upon where I am nutritionally, bodyfat, etc.
But i'm curious to as what other people with experience at +10% and under 10% BF think. do you think targeting abs in your workouts makes a difference? I've had squat days and deadlifts days where I walk away feeling like my abs are jello.
I know a thousand crunches aren't going to give you abs if you're sitting at 20% BF. so when you're at 10% or better, do you think targeted core work makes a difference?
