Before I started hypertrophy I I was doing a lot of ab exercises and lower back exercises such as hanging leg raises and supermans. Since I've never done some of the exercises in the program, specifically, squats and deadlifts, I'm not sure how much work my abs and lower back are getting in these exercises. Will I be overdoing it if I add more ab work or lower back exercises to every routine? Also, I thought that whenever you do ab work like with the swiss ball and reverse crunches you're supposed to also work the lower back muscles with seperate exercises to keep that area strong. Is that not true or do deadlifts and squats provide all the lower back work I need?
thanks
