There is no way my butt muscles work that hard. Been cycling 7k's to work and back and the only muscles that hurt are those above the knee, and maybe even the joint itself. I reckon the seat is probably to low

Good Video, thanks

Thank you so much for your videos. They help so much and your attention to detail is much appreciated.

FYI: The link in the description to the ebook on glute activation is broken (yes, it is 10’ish years later, but mentioning in case you can easily fix the link). Thanks.

Mckenzie method works with Directional preference and centralization. Every patient should be assessed in the clinic to find out if the given exercise produces these phenomena. Than in one or two days there should be a phone call or at least the patient should be given a contact to call the physiotherapist if there is any problem with the execise present. Doing press ups, just because you have LBP is not Mckenzie method.

Do you ever do heavy barbell deadlifts? Have you ever coached someone who lifts heavy?

How do you deal with a herniated a disc while having spondylothesis ?

Thanks for sharing! The plank is one of four core-exercises in my daily routine. Just wondering: Aren’t you supposed to brace your core, not just pull your stomach in? I think you mention both..

Hey man, 🤗 after 8 year, r u alive if so , reply me ...

What about sitting loading of spine i.e sitting little flexed..as per mcgill we cant injure spine sitting. I see 90 % people sit flexed do their desk job. and also wheelchair users dont getup ever. why so? Why you always need external loads? How much exact loads exerted while sitting?

Thanks for share

Great video

Absolutely gold. Thank you so much

thanks so much for all the info! is a bulging disc something that should heal on its own?

He is talking alot but not saying much

Great stuff I’m interested in maximum core strength to reduce energy leaks as much as possible. Would simply increasing volume (tut) be the key to this, greasing the groove, or various maximal tension overcoming isometrics? Cheers m8

I don't even have major back issues but this is a very difficult exercises for people like me (hypermobile and low muscle mass) I think only previously conditioned people should do this or with the help of a trainer. My back is pretty sore today from trying this yesterday. When I am stronger I'll maybe try it as a glute exercise but there are prob safer methods.

I fixed my low back after about 23 years of constant struggle using the most dangerous of all exercises - the deadlift. I did it different - deadlifting very slow, very low weight and keeping the abs contracted at all times. Eventually I realized that I literally do not know how to activate my abs properly. That revelation lead to "teaching" my other muscles - not just abs - to fire properly - back, chest, hamstrings. That is also done through deadlift because it involves all of these muscles in a synchronized "symphony". The result is that I'm 56 now, work long hours bent over, on my fours, with weird reaches and extensions of the limbs and body. Also wearing a respirator and in very hot envrionments. All this amounts to uncomfortable feelings that are guaranteed to lead to daily pains and developing long term back problems. But zero low back pain. Absolutely zero.

Perfectly timed.....my back had the temerity to sqeak this morning.. I m obsessed with fitness and currently analysing why it currently feels uncomfortable. Listeniing to your eminently sensible advice!

Why dont dr stewart does not talk about spinal stenosis I have L4, L5 and S1

Thanks Good job

Very good info...

Excellent! I do need to look up photos of those first 3 muscles you mentioned that need static contraction. I know the lattisimus but not the other 2

Over my head- looking for visuals.

Could one use overcoming isometrics for this, pull a fixed bar up?

I would like to maximally negate energy leaks, to have my body work as a singly unit. How do we increase intensity/tension in core work besides increasing volume ?

The core has two important roles, one is to support and stabilize the spine, and the other is to transfer the force from the lower body legs/hips to the upper body arms/shoulders .

i recently started doing the bird-dog exercise, i noticed that because i have scapular winging i struggled to keep my torso parallel to the floor and shifted my weight towards my leg and away from my arm, i saw this as a chance to train the serratus at the same time as it must be weak

Is there a variation on the good morning if you don’t have a bar bell?

If the QL ‘compresses’ is this bad for those with disc degeneration who already have a degree of compression?

Great video.

I have (mild) lordosis but no APT...what does that mean?

I got a microdiscectomy. I was in so much pain for 6 months 😔 I was better immediately.

Thank you kindly for this detailed explanation. I will put it into practice and see how it goes.

I understand about what you mean definitely mate 👍 👌

can i do thus exercise every day ?

“The flexion extension cycle is a mechanism of injury.” 😂😂

*avoidance* That’s this guy’s education. Terrible advice. The 45 degree BE is one of the essential pieces of equipment you could possibly use. Stop avoiding your low back and strengthen it, gradually and measurably. In fact, every household should replace their couches with one.

thank you that was informative. does the plank withe the side rotation to form side plank help someone with osteoporosis? and if yes, would it always be safe? or are there hints to consider? thank you again.

I have recently watched your video on posture, mentioning that massage, stretch and exercise are all needed to correct the posture. I have started to extend the thoracic region with a foam ball, following your video where you used the foam roller instead. I have noticed a remarkable improvenent in my posture but am worried about damaging the discs due to the posterior motion and get a spondylolisthesis for example or even herniate a disc due to excessive extension, what do you think?

Underrated channel, thank you Christopher!

Would you recommend strengthening the piriformis? I think sciatic nerve tightness increased (lateral hamstring tightness) after I began strengthening piriformis.

Dead lifts were the worst for me
