Compare with scientific + perspective perspective of Stuart McGill on hollowing vs bracing Most recently in interview by Peter Attia

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

I go over this in detail in my PCES course!

[@victoriayazlle6403]

You're welcome!

Hi! I have been bracing out my entire life and didn't know there were two ways of doing it until a couple weeks ago! I'm trying to re-educate my body to brace in instead, do you have one or a couple 'best' abs exercises for that?

Is hollowing the same as hypopressives and would you ever recommend those?

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

It is not the same as hypopressives. Hypopressives can be a great way to feel relief on your pelvic floor but I haven't seen them as good practice for functional movement.

Hi! Thanks for this. Question, how do we fix bracing down? I'm noticing that is my tendency, but am having trouble figuring out how to brace more neutral

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

Think about starting the contraction from the bottom up - Think about exhaling and emptying out all the air from the bottom up and see how that feels.

[@loriwilliamson5738]

Or, maybe I'm a good hollow-er and not a good bracer.? Help!?

[@georgepnf8596]

Hi Sarah, I didn't find any course on your PCES curriculum for the hollowing or bracing. A woman with a soft(deep) diastasis(3 fingers width above belly button and 2 and a half fingers width between bellybutton and pubic bone and soft) and a infrasternal angle

So I should be bracing my core with every exercise but the strength should vary depending on how hard the exercise is?

[@CoreExerciseSolutions]

yes!

[@yessicafe509]

@@CoreExerciseSolutions I feel like sometimes bracing my core with certain exercises makes my back hurt? Why would that be the case?

[@loriwilliamson5738]

I'm a good bracer but I don't know how to hollow. I don't know what I should feel. All I can do is feel braced. Can you give me any advice? Any other cues to maybe help me feel? Thank you for sharing your amazing knowledge.

Hard to say without seeing you 😘 keep playing around with it - add maybe something behind your head and shoulders help make it a little easier can help too - Also you can check out the lower ab challenge to practice as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gafWomeKr6-AepI
