Birddog is COMPLETELY different from any variation of crunch - it targets different muscles altogether. That’s like saying dumbell curls are “better” than lateral raises. Also, your form needs work: you are causing a hip rotation on your right side. And the point of this exercise is create dynamic isometric stability in the NEUTRAL spine position. Not the flexed position as you are performing it. Thats because you’re trying to make it about the rectus abdominus (hence your crunch comment). But the birddog is more about the bracing the transverse abdominus and other stabilizers. Sorry, this video is whack.

Where's the research that proves that a sit up overloads your spine????????

[@senseisaitama8684]

Many people go to physiotherapy because they injured their spine doing sit ups. Or some people have current injuries that get worse with sit ups

[@simonvegas793]

Sit-ups produce shear and compressive forces on the intervertebral discs and across the lumbar spine. Google it!

I need to hire a personal trainer

[@eggshell100]

No you don't! Trust me it's all a facade, there's SO many KZbin videos explaining how to do an exercise properly which one can easily refer to and follow up! I recently hired a personal trainer, and believe me, they simply do not give you enough attention because they are OVERFLOWING with clients who have the same gym hours as you! It could just be me but then again please make an informed decision because you'll be investing your money in them 🤍
