Hello,

Since a week ago doing lots of ab wheel rollouts.

My question is does the increase in abs strength/core increase my deadlift. And maybe even other exercises like front lever.

Thanks in Advanced

Maybe, but only assuming you have a weak deadlift

Konstantin Konstantinovs likes them and he is a godly deadlifter

It can increase the front lever for the core strenght and pulling strength. for the deadlift i'm not sure. there is of course a pull component where you have to pull the barbell to your shinbone but here your need to stay with open chest and retraction. this is not the posture of ab wheel.

I suppose it only helps if your core is the weakest part of your deadlift. After your deadlift gets past a certain point I don't think it has that much transfer.
