Also impressed, Matt do you write diet plans for athletes ?

And also Matt, if I may?:

Is there any dietary process/habit that contributes to the formation of moobs?

I'm asking on behalf of a friend :cough:

It completely explains why some qualified with these as their training source would recommend using a Deadlift to work your Abs or would need a 1st year Gym Instructor (me) to point out that twisting an ankle inwards is an "Inversion" of the ankle... etc. I kid you not!

Sorry had to pull you up there, slightly off topic but deadlifts are probably the best exercise for abs around.

As a supporting muscle group, I can see the abs would take some benefit from this excercise.

Looking at the bigger picture; I've (more recently) seen deadlifts referred to as a Back exercise. I do deads for glutes and hams

If you take away grip and upper back/Lats then deadlifts essentially work the same muscles as squats (which also involve the abs).

With reference to deadlifting, to say that abdominal use is 'minimal and momentary at the top of a held lift' is just incorrect.

• (when I say 'abs' I refer to all abdominal muscles)

I thought squats worked the quads and deads worked the hams (plus assistance muscles).

Several hundred I would guess
