They stop your ribcage from being ripped off

How in the hell are abdominals stabilizers during chin-ups? Military Presses... definitely. But chin-ups???
For an 'expert' this is a pretty weak statement.

Are the abs really fast twitch? I would've thought that since they are stabilizers, that they would be slow twitch (like the spinal erectors). Or is it maybe one of the underlying muscles that are slow twitch? Heh, I liked the skinny faces comment.

i think he is talking bullshit,
abs are mainly slow twitch, yes they do have fast twitch muscle fibres too, but rather few compared to other muscles such as the triceps

Robert Colling's excellent review of human muscle fibre type distribution in Exercise Physiology (1997) reveals that the Rectus Abdominus is a phasic muscle with only 46.1% Type I fibres. This is the so-called "six-pack" muscle group that everyone is concerned about. However, it is true that the underlying Transversus Abdominus displays tonic characteristics due to its postural role.
