    Doing abs has to be at the right time or it doesn't work.

    Once upon a time I had a night shift job and so I tried to sleep in the day, except that sleeping in the day is the wrong kind of sleep and doesn't work like sleeping at the right time and does not actually rest you at all, so I had to leave my job and get a daytime job so that I could sleep at the right time and then I was finally rested.

    So abs are kind of like that.

    True story.

    This only applies if you went to bed at 9:14pm.

    Do compound lifts and you won't have to worry about it.

    I do calisthenics during my boxing classes... get a lot of ab workout in then.
    +1 for compound lifts

    Not rly true... there are multiple reasons to do abs in addition to compound lifts. Real talk for the op though if they are lifting weights don't do abs beforehand or you could end up hurting yourself.

    I work my core every other day and I do it at the end when I'm done lifting.
