Don't tweak anything with it. I did NROLFW last year, and my core got a lot stronger and leaner. It amazed me that I didn't have to kill myself doing crunches, but think about it: to get a better core, you also have to focus on lower-back work and stability exercises to balance it out. And to see that fat loss on your abs, you just have to hunker down and create calorie deficits through diet and exercise.
Deadlifts are awesome. I miss doing those - I haven't been inside a weight room since January (been swinging, cleaning and pressing kettlebells for my strength workouts in the meantime) - and deadlifts are very helpful in developing overall, functional strength.
Good luck with the program! You'll love it.
