  • When we were visited by Professor McGill from the University of Waterloo in Canada, we took the opportunity to speak to him about various aspects of back mechanics. In this short video we explore the concept of heavy vs light lifting techniques.

    My takeaways: brace, neutral spine, and hip hinge dominant when heavy/loaded. With the appropriate volume and loading/unloaded any other human movements (e.g. jefferson curls and deep knee bends) are totally fine if healthy. If not, match your movement to avoid your pain triggers until healthy again.

    I just recently hurt my back, months of exercise or years rather and even though my back would be tender at first a worked thru it, now though, it kinda hurt more, so I’m stopping all exercise besides walking and a gentle McGill 3, hopefully I can turn this around, it’s been a week and I feel much better already, I want zero pain, because I always had a pretty good physique overall, my face isn’t pretty so I need something to feel good about

      It depends. Some can get away with it, but those who have a history of back injuries should be aware. Over time spine hygiene becomes second nature.

      What are. You talking about? Dr. McGill is extremely humble. He only brings up athletes he rehabs If he is asked about it. His contribution to understanding the spine has saved MANY athletes backs and has allowed me to finally get enough pain free capacity to start lifting again.

    With all respect Professor, but did you realize that you actually flexed in your back at 1:00, when you had to move the bag?
    Deadlifts are great, but most of us don't really deadlift much outside the gym. We bend over with a round back and pick things up, in the manner that its natural to us. Most human being lift up objects as if they were doing a "jefferson curl", not a "deadlift". So how about making people do more "jefferson curls" so that people become stronger in something they actually use in everyday life situations?
    People are afraid to lift and move stuff because of their form not being perfect. Meanwhile for most of the western population the pain and injuries are caused by lack of movement and weakened muscles, not by overtraining and overstressing the body. Even though people like McGill have a positive purpose they are misleading people in the wrong direction.

    • @alisoncraig597
      @alisoncraig597 3 роки тому +7

      Because you can't make "strong" discs or "train" them to last. You can strengthen the supporting muscles around them but there are plenty of strong backs who's discs have failed. McGill's research suggests (this is a VERY dumbed down example) that spinal flexion is like a bank account, regardless of how good the security at the bank. Every time you flex, you take money out of the bank. On a long enough timeline, many will run out of money. Each spine is different and not all loaded flexion is built equally so results will vary but the research results stay the same. Though I do agree that healthy backs would be wise to exercise healthy flexion movements.

    • @nikholm3823
      @nikholm3823 3 роки тому +1

      @@alisoncraig597 I see what you mean and I definitely agree about strengthening the muscles that support the spine. That is exactly why I think you should strengthen the spinal extensors as well as all the core muscles and etc. By bending in your back and extending it again.
      Trying to keep ones back extended to avoid injury is first off impossible because we are most likely to instinctively bend our back when we are not aware of it and second if we how ever manage to keep the lumbar stable at all time, wouldn’t that consequently cause stiffness, lack of strength and lack of mobility?
      I am not trying to act as if I know it all - I am not even a physiotherapist. I’m just curious! 😅

      You need to hit up oh and s people to tell people to teach how to hinge in the workplace. Stu’s job is to educate health professionals. How many companies you know or have work for teaches you how to hinge when lifting a box or an object on the ground? Also most people do not use mindfulness when they do things. Before you even start with deadlift or hinge get people to be self aware or mindful of how they breathe.

    • @RohannvanRensburg
      @RohannvanRensburg 3 роки тому +8

      McGill goes into this in detail elsewhere. There are numerous studies showing a correlation between round back lifting mechanics and back injuries in various jobs where medium weight is lifted. A flexed spine is fine for some bending and moving but it is pretty clear in the literature that repetitive loaded flexion is a bad idea.

    • @nikholm3823
      @nikholm3823 3 роки тому

      @@RohannvanRensburg I have to agree with the fact that there must have been a correlation between these factors. But I am just curious why are we in such a hurry to conclude that the “correlated factors” are indeed the “causation”.
      In fact you can look up many sports such as jiu-jitsu or wrestling where people lift each other up with flexed spine and move in “weird” positions. You can look up the strong man who lift atlas stones.
      My suggestion is that there must be other factors that we are taking to consider.
