She Had HORRIBLE Low Back Pain Until…

[danielerinaldo]

Here 15 years ago they always told us in sports and gym classes to flatten our back, it always felt strange to me

[JuanCruzFabi]

I used to not train abs cause I have good abs genetic and they look pretty good and lean af even without training it. But since I understood how important they are in squats and other exercises to bring stability, my mind changed completely

His bodyand coaching ques are amazing. Been a strength coach for past 8 years now. Still picking up new things and applying it with clients

[abhilashnama]

Oh boy.. thank you doc. This message is so helpful. My trainer got it all wrong and I am looking forward to doing it right

[chimchim]

You're doing gods work sir. Thank you for your videos 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤

[rangequeen]

Dude, I’ve been told to tuck my pelvis and keep back flat for yearsss. thank you!

[clublulu]

This exercise was a lifesaver for me. It’s been over a few months since I started and still do these daily to this day.

[robertwhite]

That version that Lu is doing looks great. Going to try that

Can you please make a video on how to breath when bracing core? Im so confused on that and see a lot of another comments are too. Thank you!

I haven’t seen anyone that says don’t flatten, every gymnast and physio on here says to flatten. I don’t see a problem with either if they aren’t causing pain and making you stronger. I wouldn’t go in excess extension it’s also hard to tell what neutral is on your back

[angelojumped]

Wow, this is mind blowing. It makes so much sense and yet i've been told to do the opposite for years 😮

[matthewlantigua]

I literally talked about this with my PT yesterday!

[masonofcamelot]

Your channel has put out so many shorts that i find extremely useful but I'm upset i can't make a playlist to save all of them for later

I was told to do this to help with my back pain caused by my 2x lumbar disc bulges (L4-L5 & L5-S1), and it just made it worse because I would brace my core so hard while trying to keep my lower back in touch with the ground, which basically made the area/bulge push out even more, therefore making the pain much worse after a short period when having done those!

[LaraOlina]

i always thought it felt unnatural, but i was just to bad at core trainings to do it right lol glad thats not the case 😊

[shivamishra]

Sir can we get relief from both Bach and hip pain by doing mcgill core excersices and hip opener ??

[aranteen]

I have a question. If I do this with one arm under my back should I be pushing my back down onto my arm a bit when bracing or aiming to brace with zero extra pressure applied to my arm from my back? Hopefully that makes sense

[MrShamless]

This was also my case. I kept stretching my hip flexors and quads all the time but still had back pumps when I was just standing doing stuff or between the sets on squats and deadlifts. Started doing core exercises everyday at home and back pumps/pain disappeared a week later!

Big distinction made here that people forget for sure, and I think it comes from gymnastics, in gymnastics you want to train that “hollow” body (spinal flexion), for stiffness in movements like the front lever and planche, but then forget that you also need to train in arch body, and the most advanced becomes candlestick, aka, neutral spine. Having a strong foundation in all is extremely important ofc, but for people who aren’t training gymnastics skills, stick to the neutral spine. I wish this was talked about more, but it just simply isn’t.

Edit: I should elaborate quickly, you work towards hollow for front lever/planche, but then once you’re strong enough you should move towards candlestick, it’s just harder because you don’t have as much rigidity until you’re stronger.

I'm new to working out. I've seen videos where they want you to flatten your back down to the ground to activate your core and some videos to leave a neutral spine. Does it depend on the exercise your doing? I can use some help to understand
