a mcgill big 3 video that is not 14 minutes long, here's a like and comment

[Rukain]

No fluff. Straight to the point. Great video. Thanks a lot.

[KatieSinger-ubqx]

I do this before I lift weights it is GOLD and a good core workout

[MrJagasser]

Thank you for keeping it short and crisp!

[Rrextrex]

Perfect video and explanation of this, thank you!

[I.G]

Doing these before every work out instead of those 15 minute mobility routine🫡🤙

I just listened to Dr. McGill on a podcast and he specified that the feet are not stacked on the side plank.

[hugok]

Great instructions! Short and good. What are the recommended amount of sets and reps? Also how long should the bird-dog be held and should this be done every day?

[benjaminrenaud]

On your side planks you should take care to move into position with a hinging motion and NOT by bending the spine like you do. Dr McGill is clear on that point in his books. You also seem to sag on them.

I can't stop my neck being isolated and getting involved in the curl up, any tips on this?

[toddletunesofficial]

Great for young people but what about us older & less mobile folks?

[sunandrain]

My main question is :- Will this decrease my lower back pain ?😢

[franky]

How many sets and reps should I do for a daily routine?

[NAKMUAYACADEMY]

Would we always do 3 sets x 10 sec hold on all 3 or longer duration as well?
Could you use it daily or as part of the warm up before weights ?

[Efootballreacts]

In how many days it will heal my lower back??

[apachewolfscout]

I believe feet aren't stacked in side plank

[csk]

@michaelbraccio My shoulder hurts with side planks. I switched to one hand farmer carries, but want to figure out the pains!?

[BenevolentDictator]

How often do you recommend doing these?

[ishastha]

low back pain is making me depressed ugh its been 7 weeks for me

[komo]

professor in what lmao? giving relatively average advice?

if you want to look past the dead/squat/OHP/bench and then also ignore chinups/pullups/dips and pushups and advise shit like this you could at least explain they are at best assistance exercises and will never add sufficient strength gains to any muscle groups. fucking insane lol, the reason you will have a weak core in the first place is because you have probably ignored the above
