Is it bad to do abs the day before deads and squats?

[RusPA81]

I was just wondering if you guys think doing abs the day before deads of squats could affect your performance on those lifts? I was making the assumption that if your abs are tired it may make those lifts harder as abs are a major stabilizer for them. It would work better in split as far as time concerns however if I did abs on the days that precede these lifts.

I do abs on leg and back days....one of the last things i do on those days...I save my abs for the main lifts!!!!

Bad idea. I'd want 3 days between any core work and skwatting or DL's. Just do abs on the same day as your skwats and DL's.

Thats what I do now. Its just that those are my longest days so I wanted to do them on my shorter days, but of afraid that I would have a negative impact on those lifts as you guys seem to agree would happen.
