Default Building Thick Abs - Indirect Work
I am currently working on a feature article relating to abs, and want to know which INDIRECT exercises you feel best contribute to building thick abs. (Abs size)

Some obvious choices are:

--Squats
--Deadlift
--Military Press

Which exercises would you add to this list and why?

Overhead squats.
BB calf raises, especially if using a block to elevate your feet for a stretch.

I forgot the tricep pushdown. Every time I do them I get sore abs. I think that's definitely top 10 worthy.

Straight arm lat pushdown is a good one too.

I don't know if this applies here or not but Kettlebell windmills and get ups work numbers on your obliques and core.

Sure, I can use kettlebell exercises as examples. An abs article is going to appeal to many who are not necessarily bodybuilder types, so I could throw in a few KB exercises.

Is this the exercise?
