    @022. I'm just looking at Dr. McGill's Book "The Back Mechanic" which states that the "cat and camel" exercise should only be done for 8 reps max. Not 10 reps. After 8 reps Dr. McGill says his experiments have shown that you are doing more harm than good.

    😬
    Lower that head on the curl-ups. Dr McGill says to barely lift off the ground. Ive heard him say, "imagine your head is on a scale. Now lift it just until it reads zero. You don't need it raise it further."
    Also for bird dogs, don't "raise your leg," kick it backwards as though you're trying to lengthen your leg and touch the wall behind you. "Lifting" causes rounding of the low back which defeats the purpose. Also try to squeeze a fist and tense the whole body. He is looking for [almost] full body neural activation.
    Otherwise, good info. I haven't seen many, if any, people mentioning to do cat-cows as a warmup.

      You’re right, unfortunately this guy’s form does not match McGill’s instruction. Better to get his book Back Mechanic with video option and learn how to do it correctly. And if you didn’t get McGill’s permission to post this video, I highly suggest you take it down instead of showing people how to do it wrong.

      Thats because they don't work. It's just putting pressure on your spine. It will feel good but it's only retouching the nerves unnecessarily.

      Actually, McGill has a section on the Cat/Camel (Page 110 of the "Back Mechanic.")
      7 or 8 reps max he says before it becomes counterproductive.

      This isn't dr Stuart McGill, it's someone else just attempting to use his method. Incorrectly I might add. You need to get the book Back Mechanic if you want help with sciatica, or go see Dr. Ed Cambridge in Brampton Ontario.

      @scyven1 2 роки тому +3

      Rectus attaches ribs 5-7 I believe and xiphoid proceed…scap should rest between T2-7 I believe so curling up to where the scaps lift off the ground but maintaining a neutral lumbar spine is ideal no? Hard to quantify with an exact distance or height especially with variability in peoples sizes.

  • @brentcarson9634
    @brentcarson9634 3 місяці тому +1

    @1:38 he is performing the side plank wrong. Your body should be straight! not curved. And the TOP foot should be in FRONT of the lower. Plus they're supposed to be done with legs totally extended, NOT bent at the knees (unless you have an impeding injury). PLUS your top hand should be on your hip - unless prevented by an already injured shoulder.
