Best Answer

In most daily activities, the primary function of the abdominal and lumbar spine muscles is to stabilise the spine. Strengthening the core in this capacity is best served by movements which load the spine, i.e. barbell squats, deadlifts, cleans, and presses. One needs only look at powerlifters such as Kirk Karwoski to see the sheer size of the abdominal muscles in individuals who regularly load the spine with enormous weights.

abs are made in the kitchen....weight lifting (especially compound excercises) make your abs stronger(since abs is a muscle) but that doesnt mean lifting makes them visible.....

combine liftin , cardio and clean eating....you can also lower the pounds in the weights and do more repetitions (15-20) so you burn more calories if your aim is not bodybuilding or strenght training No, weight lifting helps you're muscles be muscular and controls the agility of you're body. It also possesses strength and helps you're body being strong.
