  • I enjoyed this, but I have a question. So if having a neutral spine is so important today; how were the athletes back in the "day" not have back pain? because I'm assuming all the athletes did regular leg lifts, crunches, etc.... just curious. Great Video

  • Much needed back & abs info.....keep it coming! Thank you.

  • Great video. Stuart McGill is the man. Anti-movement core training has improved my clients back issues and sports performance (as well as my own). He's one of the top guys to learn from when it comes to the spine and proper training.

  • @eugenesedita you make some good points but this is a 4 minute video. Check out his books Low Back Disorders and Ultimate Back Training. He gives the research data and goes more in-depth into his rationale. The best way to train your core is still a hot debate and the research is ongoing. Stuart McGill is helping develop a scientific approach to core training that is leaps beyond the typical gym rat bro advice that most ppl give.

  • Without knowing from which types of populations these data were drawn it would be impossible to draw meaningful conclusions. For the average joe or jane who lead sedentary lives opening up a soft-boiled egg in the morning could cause problems. Trained and proprioceptively aware conditioned persons/athletes would certainly be able to move into what for the average person would be a danger zone. This seems way too simplistic for such far ranging conclusions. Sensible certainly for the most part.

  • Great job, I appreciate bringing evidence based rehab to youtube! I recommend you check out Dr. Stuart McGill's texts (just search his name on Amazon). It has given me more confidence as a physical therapist to educate my patients and provide an evidence based rationale for the therapeutic exercise I prescribe.

  • I hear only drum and bass, no voice.

  • @johnferg1963 adjust the balance of your speakers. I think his voice is only coming out of only the left or right side.

  • this is amazing, thanks UWaterloo! i'm a prospective student for kinesiology. the program booklets always mention professor McGill as the people who revolutionized the sit-up , and now we get to see him in action!
