This remains one of the best explanations of the McGill Big 3 on the internet. The only other correct ones that come to mind are videos by Dr McGill himself, Brian Carroll and the Squat University dude. So many times on RUclips you see stacked feet on the side plank (wrong) and the foot too high on the bird dog (wrong). The McGill Big 3 repaired my back after surgery enough that I can participate in BJJ sparring. Really good coaching explanation from both gentlemen and proper demonstration from the lady.
Of all those “must do everyday” these 3 are the most important. I am a physical therapist and big advocate on the McGill big 3 for core stability and prevention of back injuries.
This is by far the best tutorial on these three movements. There is no question that the McGill 3 are great movements for the cylinder and yet so many online videos butcher the techniques. This video is lengthy, but it contains very good subtle and not-so-subtle cues for doing each exercise.
Really really appreciate the effort you’ve put into this tutorial. Post injury I needed 1 year off all resistance training (after training for 25yrs). I lost core connection, I lost all my core musculature, glutes, hamstrings, all went to sh*t. Ended up needing a APAP at night to help with breathing. It was all due to instability / core weakness. This video really cleared up the movements tremendously. Thanks team 🎉
This video literally changed my life by strengthening my back and relieving a lot poor posture related discomfort. Love the practical training advice that you folks put out. This is my new favorite fitness channel.
The detail in this breakdown on the form for these exercises is absolutely first class. Not just explanations of common mistakes but what those mistakes are costing you in terms of the effectiveness of the exercises and of course how to fix them which is something often lacking in other tutorials and for me it's really important to see. Feel like a lot of people may not view this because it's twice as long as a lot of these McGill Big 3 breakdowns but it's with very good reason and you're going to benefit from that extra time. Outstanding tutorial.
i had no idea I was doing bird dogs so wrong until i saw this video. I was basically treating it like an upside down deadbug, trying to make it harder by lifting my legs higher in the air. Hopefully I can do these correctly and reduce my lower back pain when squatting
This is one of the best breakdowns I have found. I don't know why people try to rush the explanation. I want to learn not see you just do it lol. Thank you because I need it. I hurt my back warming up for a deadlift so I really need to do this right.
People should appreciate how much of their knowledge these two guys are pouring into teaching and coaching these 3 fundamental movements. These exercises are so crucial and from my experience need to be done until you die. You say why. There are 7 universal movement patterns that require spinal stability to be able perform movements with higher loads and demands. If you want to decrease the likelihood of injury and improve strength, aesthetics and performance you need to practice these or some variation of these forever.
@@carl_anderson9315How so? please explain, I suffer from low back pain for 7 years and it seems I have to do this exact 3 exercises as BASE but I can barely can gwt myself stable to the base position...
@@Rileyed Thanks man. I don't "care" about fun haha, if its so hard it seems to show my own weakness.. problem is I can't even get myself stable enough to perform reps, I "fall"
Been using these techniques over the last couple months on my CNS injury in my lower back that I've been recovering from for about 2 years now, and they have helped exponentially. This is an incredibly comprehensive video here, such great content.
@@dylankruse4054 I felt beck strain on the excessive where you lie on your back, but after a while of doing it and really focusing on tightening my core are much as possible, it felt better.
Every thing yall do is always great but the one thing yall do no other channels do is address those of us that have beat ourselves up over the years (shoulders, back ect) I real appreciate it
Haven't watched a lot of EliteFTS in a while, but the content you are putting out is a higher quality then I've seen prior, alot of variety in what you guys produce and also extremely informative. Never been a issue with the videos being informative though lol. Can't wait to see all of what you guys do next as a company and your RUclips endeavors
The birddog helped my lower back issues the most- even though I had to do a very modified version at first, my core was so unstable and tight. That leg stretch is just the best!
Kick ass lesson. Just found Mcgillis three have had foot, hip and back pain for decades. I have my own stretches that I think work. But I on the floor now following your instruction. Beautiful woman btw.
Really appreciate this video and the detail you both went into. I have had back/hip issues for 6 years and been seen and treated with everything and everyone out there to no avail. I have been familiar with these movements but definitely learned some key things from the video. Can't wait to implement this into my training. Please keep videos like these coming.
With my experience one of main causes of pain and stuff was the FAI/CAM impingement. Years after the surgery the best exercise I found was the Pallof press. I do that with resistance bands in a solid doorway.
Just a quick note for everyone - we did a video prior to this which released a week ago or so: ruclips.net/video/gVgLmFkjJTM/видео.html -- this video gives context to the McGill method. The McGill big 3 is NOT a cure-all for back pain, and it's NOT the only way to build a core of iron. It's the starting point and foundation for those who need a starting point. We go much deeper than this- but this is a very non-invasive way to build core stability for those back injured. It's also a nice way to warm up or cool down, but AGAIN - it's not a one-step remedy to fix your back pain. How you fix your back pain is by identifying the cause and removing it, while finding pain-free movement and postures and creating a walking plan to expand pain-free capacity and athleticism. Then building a core to meet daily demands, and then eventually building a program for your chosen sport. My point is there is much to getting pain-free and this video is only a snippet about execution of the big 3, not much more.
I have been doing research as I haven't realized any relief from the 3 PT visits my insurance covers. These 3 excercises have been highly recommended but my concern is the aggravation of the bulging discs in my cervical spine while I'm doing exercises for the pain from my bulging discs in my lumbar region. I cleaned houses for 30 years propped up by vicodin for the last 10 until the opiod laws changed nd I literally hurt too much to work. Forced somewhat retiring actually helped because not putting my body through trauma every day my pain lessened and I do not miss the mental toll opiods took on me. Now I'm 52 and I just hurt all the time because I went into a depression and stopped doing anything. My body is so weak. I'm now ready to start doing the work but many excercises and stretches for low back pain aggravate my cervical spine and I get pain and numbness in my right arm. This is is terrifying, before I was forced to stop working due to pain several of my fingers were mostly useless from cervical nerve compression and I thought it was permanent but the feeling has mostly come back...until I make the wrong moves! I wish I could afford a good physical therapist but in California once I pay rent I'm lucky to afford gas and food! I am willing to do the work but I don't know where to start, I would be willing to pay for a session with a therapist that could look at my history and give me a blueprint of how to do this on my own, but how do I even find that person? I just ordered Back Mechanic and I'm excited to read it but from the reviews it seems to focus on low back pain, do you have any suggested reading? For years I thought I would just end up being a shut in from the pain but the more research I do I am feeling hopeful to find my way to a more productive life if I have the right map!
14:45 ish Brian just proved the efficacy of these movements in about 3 seconds by getting down and back up with seemingly no effort. Being that big and still being able to move freely, especially after the injuries he's had, what more proof do you need?
Feeling it is so important in all sports. It took me years to stop skiing with my mind and let go enough to feel what was actually going on with my body. After that I got consistently better and better and I stopped falling altogether.
Yep. Been doing bird dogs wrong. I knew in the back of my mind there was something missing and this video clears it up. They are a very difficult exercise. I find the single limb to be just as hard, if not more so because there is no counterweight of the other limb.
@@BrianCarroll1306I was shocked by this realization. The Biering-Sorenson Test showed me that back/core endurance is hugely important. I’ve been lifting for 38 years with right side lower back pain. I thought strength was the answer, but for me it was a lack of endurance. The Big 3 and “Foundation Training “ have helped immensely.
I've got alot of spine degradation and after about a year and a half being semi-sedentary and trying to recover various health issues I started training again. I'm actually quite excited about doing these now because I never really did them or did them correctly, I should say for lack of being taught properly. Anything that can potentially help my core stability is going to be absolutely amazing for my overall longevity and keeping from having back issues. I really appreciate you folks making this video.
@@DannieRay23 Solid so far, I've not had any issues in several months now other than general neuro crap. Other than that, very healthy, I've cycled these exercises into my warmup routine effectively.
I am doing these exercises to help with my injured back (L4-L5 annular fissures and sciatica) Thanks for going over the form for the bird dog for me. I will be doing the "easy" version for now as I am still quite flared from the injury and it's dragging on and on.
The best dissection of prof McGill's the big three I have seen! The devil is in the detail and there are plenty of details to get wrong.. great stuff , guys..
@@BrianCarroll1306 🙏 I Mean it , It undid 12 years of several mistakes I had made., and as it turns out, I am not as tough as I thought I was LOL .thank you again..
Wow you guys are awesome. I have Cerebellar Ataxia and am constantly looking for proper exercises for my core beings that without a strong core, you have no balance
The more I learn and do the McGill Big three, the more I think the devil is in the details... but this, on EliteFTS, with Brian Carrol? This is what I wished for
For the curl up, I use a rolled-up towel under my low back, rather than my hands. Shoulders are too tight (internal rotation). Works equally well. Excellent tutorial, great detail. What do you suggest for hold times, reps, sets? I believe McGill suggest sets of 10 second holds on the plank? He said longer is not better.
This is excellent, thank you for providing such good direction on important movements!! I've shared this video widely with other sore lower back friends.
Need more explanation on what “stabilising the torso” means and feels like. Table top flat is easy, but what muscles should be engaged and how should it feel.
I only recently discovered the McGill 3. Recently as in about a month ago. Clearly I've been doing all three exercises wrong. I'm surprised by how incorrectly I have been doing these. Also what's a Russian pyramid? The dark haired guy with the beard (my apologies I don't know your name this video was in my recommendations because I've watched several videos in an attempt to learn what the McGill 3 are) mentioned it. But this video was very helpful. I want to do exercises with proper form and it showed me what I was doing wrong. So I want to thank you for that and for being so thorough in your explanations.
Hello - it’s in the description. Most videos you see are incorrect. Some worse than others. To understand more the links in the desc - back mechanic and Gift of injury will greatly help you with context.
Qué tal!!! Los felicito por el video👏👏. No entiendo muy bien cómo es la respiración en el último ejercicio, se infla el tórax y se sostiene en inhalación? Espero que puedan ayudarme. Muchas Gracias!!🇦🇷❤
When is the Elite FTS with focus, trust and strength with the flag on the sleeve available to purchase? Appreciate all the valuable information you all are putting out!
Great explanation and demonstration. Every time I've seen the bird dog taught its overextended and lose so I've been doing it wrong for a almost a year now and wondering why I'm not really seeing any benefit.
I have OA in my knees and meniscus teas in rt knee. How can I do bird dog or is there other things to achieve same goals. Knees ok for backpacking if I don't push them into floor. Thx

What do you suggest for hold times, reps, sets? I believe McGill suggest sets of 10 second holds on the plank? He said longer is not better.
It all depends on your goals and capacity.
8 sec to 10 giving all you got
This is excellent, thank you for providing such good direction on important movements!! I've shared this video widely with other sore lower back friends.
Remember, these exercises are not a remedy for back pain, but core endurance builders. More needs to be investigated to cure back pain
Thanks bro, I was doing them completely wrong, they feel much harder & efficient now

Thanks guys for a great and very thorough video. My side planks are looking very sad! Not any more though.
It takes time, but you can build them up
Great instructions.

'super necessary'
tbh i did the side planks with my feet stacked and it did feel like a whole body exercise. Glad I watched this! thanks

Need more explanation on what “stabilising the torso” means and feels like. Table top flat is easy, but what muscles should be engaged and how should it feel.

Qué tal!!! Los felicito por el video👏👏. No entiendo muy bien cómo es la respiración en el último ejercicio, se infla el tórax y se sostiene en inhalación? Espero que puedan ayudarme. Muchas Gracias!!🇦🇷❤
Good content, the core is super important.
Yes and this is just the surface as it’s more strength training -centric
Awesome info! But the shaky-cam is horrible.
Thanks for this video...
Thank you so much
Thanks. Have a much better idea of Big 3. Laminectomy L2 - S1. Need to keep lumbar strong.
Move well
Great demonstrations and explanations. Even better if you had someone who could frame the shots properly.
When is the Elite FTS with focus, trust and strength with the flag on the sleeve available to purchase? Appreciate all the valuable information you all are putting out!
Great content!

Great explanation and demonstration. Every time I've seen the bird dog taught its overextended and lose so I've been doing it wrong for a almost a year now and wondering why I'm not really seeing any benefit.
yep
Amazing detail! Thank you!
I've definitely been doing it wrong. I used to think that bird dogs were so lame. Now I know why.
Thank you so much
