In the mean time, work on strengthening the core with exercises that work the core.
No, you can't see abs, but working those muscles are critical for Squats and Deads. Without a powerful core, you will not be able to gain in those areas of lifting. You can not tell someone to start working their abs until they can see them, come on man.

That's like saying don't do curls until you can see your bicep.
