Dr. McGill on Training the CORE for Strength Athletes

[@BrianCarroll1306]

Part 3 discusses training the core for the strength athlete for injury resilience and performance. Does training this way make more sense after his explanation? Comment below

Stu got me painfree and took me out of a cycle of pain and depression. I may never squat again but to be able to lift my kids is more than enough. I am 43.

an issue for me as a jiu jitsu athlete, is i need both. i need my spine to be resilient throughout the full range

[@BrianCarroll1306]

And that’s why you have to be selective in your exercises you chose for core and training in general

[@corry63]

My takeaway: like the military speed sit up test example, save your flexion twisting motions for the sport, train rigidity in the weight room so you're not doubling down on the "de-lamination". Unless I'm missing something... great discussion.

Thank you Brian and Stu

Brian and Stu should be consultants for the military. They will save careers and lives

Thank you

Makes sense to me!

Great video!
Is there video of the fluoroscopy to see that in real time anywhere?

[@BrianCarroll1306]

You might be able to see it at one of Stu's seminars. It's pretty cool

I know this is for strength athletes, but what should be the approach for a more dynamic athlete(basketball) that struggles with the back. The big 3 and stir the pot is exercises that I do, but is there any other exercise that is vital for the back when you move like you do in basketball? Thanks

@@BrianCarroll1306 as in restocking them? if thats the case thats a true pitty because these are the most durable and helpful things in my life i mean the wrist wraps really helped me stabilize when i was benching over 405

Stu’s last example with the military personnel training isometrically and still being really good at sit-ups is a concept that can be applied to many other things. For example, having strong hips and a strong back will allow you to lift heavy weight with a rounded back when you actually need to (for example during farm chores), you don’t actually have to train that way. You can train the safer more effective way in neutral and save the unsafe positions for when you actually need to use it, like during work. This is why all these clowns saying to train Jefferson curls because bending over is a part of life are dead wrong. You don’t need to train in that position to be able to do it.

[@BrianCarroll1306]

There is so much here

@@BrianCarroll1306 for sure. Could you do a video on the science behind the big 3 and what it’s trying to achieve? Is it pursuing more so passive stability? Since it’s low amplitude it likely isn’t building strength. Maybe endurance, but not sure.. curious to learn more about the goals of the big 3.
