Ab workouts are great imo. If most of your lifts use core, why would you not want to work out core heavy one day of the week? Why is it better to spend a whole day on chest which is far less useful than core?
I know there have been a few times i did tons of sqauts and deadlifts for months and no core then i did core one day and my abs were sore as fuck. This taught me the importance of working abs on their own as well, just toss them in on your leg day or a few days off of your leg day(not the day before or after).
Also if you workout for aesthetics or strength(what else is there?) isolated lifts are very important. You need to be doing isolated and compound lifts and a fair amount of each if you want maximal gains. Focus more on doing different RoM's for each muscle group, i.e. hammer curls and concentration curls, as they hit different parts of the bicep more.
Dunno bout you, but after my squats and some strongmen exercises, my core/abs were sore like hell.
