If you're trying to get a flatter stomach, you need to do the proper exercises to keep everything fit and in shape. Many people rely on sit-ups and crunches to get toned abs, but that's actually not the best exercise for getting a flat belly.
If you want a flatter stomach, you should definitely add deadlifting to your workout routine! It may seem extremely intimidating, but it's so worth it.
So, how does deadlifting help you get abs? Well, when you're picking up the weight you're relying on the muscles in your legs and hips. It also causes your core muscles to fire up, creating maximum abdominal activation and leading you closer to your 6-pack abs!
So, you definitely want to add that exercise to your workout routine. Deadlifting will lead to a flatter belly in no time!
