I've seen this posted here many times, but why?
These are core workouts, or do you get enough from lifting?

Yeah, I don't get it either. I think you benefit from core strengthening. I understand the whole "abs are made in the kitchen not the gym" thing.

Well the core being strong means that it is efficient at transferring energy created usually from the ground, through the body. That means you are effectively training your core with any kind of compound movement. The purpose of the core actually is to resist movement, not create it if that makes sense.
You can do crunches etc to target specific core muscles but in doing so, you naturally create an inbalance. You might get bigger core muscles where they are more appealing, but youll put yourself at risk for injury.
