Abs during RAW Squats

[Guest guest]

I am a novice powerlifter and I train and compete raw (no wraps, no suits,

no belt) and I was wondering what I should be doing with my abs during the

squat. Should I be sucking them in, or pushing them out, or something else

altogether? Does the same apply to the deadlift and bench? Note that, I hold

my breath throughout most of the lift(s). I begin to exhale after the

sticking point. Will this have any bearing on how I should use my abs?

Cheers,
