On the bird dog, thanks for explaining the height of the leg. I’ve always been taught to hold it in line with the back. Thanks!

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 YouTube 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.

There are soo many “Must do every day” so I need 50 hour days.

[Milpower]

Exceptional understanding and, more importantly, explanation of doing The McGill Big Three PROPERLY.

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 🎉

[stumeyer]

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.

[AlexLopez-njsj]

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

[thehypearound]

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.

[oneloveunity]

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.

[igetsitcrunk]

You never realize how wrong most people do these movements until you see someone, who’s actually certified to teach them, cue someone through them.

[NickolaiFury]

Excellent video, I never really saw the point of birddogs and curl ups and I had been doing side planks wrong. This is top quality coaching!

[rajinbin]

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.

[mariethornton]

Thanks to Jen and cues I could see exactly what's meant to be going on

[keljerel]

This is the best Curl Up demonstration I've seen. I never used to feel it, but now I do. Appreciate ya!

[MyYoutubeChannel]

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.

[hoofgripweightlifting]

Wow, Thank you for this. This is by far the BEST McGill Big 3 i have ever seen.

[TheRyanMK]

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 Youtube endeavors

[jessicashih]

Many thanks for your detailed instructions.

[eon]

I absolutely need this. Been having lower back issues for years
