People have said they get neck pain doing this sit up , could I do it with just one hand under my back and one hand supporting my neck, would it still be effective

I love these Johnny-Come-Lately types that jump out of the woodwork to tell us how we should be training with their "new techniques".
Keep up the good work Wilfrid Brimley!

It's a bit silly that the 'professional' trainers at my gym aren't aware of this and don't offer me any alternatives when I tell them my buck hurts when I do their adviced ab training. Not sure how they will receive it when I tell them about these excercises.

These are wise and effective exercises. They must be done correctly. The first exercise may strain the neck if done incorrectly - do as illustrated, lifting the head and shoulders as a unit rather than using the head as a ballistic method to move the body (bad idea and not as shown). After doing these exercises every second day for four weeks my back and abs feel stronger and in balance and my back discomfort is much less. Dr. McGill simply is a world-class expert.

@mybusinesscarddesign If you've attended Dr. McGill's lectures or read his published work, you'll realize that the "McGill crunch" can be done without neck pain by pushing your tongue against the roof of your mouth. This activates your sternocleidomastoid and takes the discomfort/pain away from your cervical vertebrae. Make sure your neck is in line with your thorax.
