Sidenote: For anyone wanting visible abs, those are made in the kitchen, not really in the gym. Core work is important for other reasons but if you're doing a zillion crunches and wondering why you can't wash clothes on your stomach, it's because you haven't cut your bodyfat down to under ~11%.

Core strength and stability has nothing to do with ab definition or body fat.

oh man, this.

little story - i used to do martial arts for a couple years. there were a couple older (40's, to 50's) dudes in the classes that were sort of low-level instructors and group work leaders. accountants, IT guys, a police officer. beer bellies, balding, an extra chin here or there. those guys could WRECK HOUSE. unreal core strength from lots of training and constant groundwork. you'd never know it though, because they still ate like a 1930's dock worker during their powerlunches. i'd land a kick or a punch on their torsos in sparring exercises and it was like connecting with a barrel.
