Muscles stopping system (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abs

I believe this is a double definition.

'muscles' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stopping system' is the second definition.
(short for anti-lock braking system in a vehicle)

(Other definitions for abs that I've seen before include "Exercise to improve these" , "Stomach muscles (abbr)" , "Some musculature" , "ratings?" , "stopping system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
