Should you flex your abs while doing abs exercises?

Question by Bob Bobster: Should you flex your abs while doing abs exercises?
A friend that I work out with recently told me that I should be flexing my abs while doing any abs exercise. Is this true? He said that otherwise, yours abs will not be flat, and you will get a “lump” around the top half of your belly.

    yes you should, i have been working out for a while and i have read a lot of “muscle & fitness” magz and i remember reading it one time that you have to flex when your working on that part, and i have been following a lot of the advice in the magazine and it has been working for me pretty good.
    also remember get a lot of protein and eat right, such as egg whites with cooking spray or breakfast and other stuff.
