The McGills Big 3 - Athena Video Library

In this video I teach you the McGills Big 3; 3 core preparation movements that are great for your bracing practise. The combination of these three movements were originally designed to help lifters with back pain by Dr Stuart McGill. It is now common practise in the strength and powerlifting world to fortify your warm-ups with the modified curl-up, modified side plank, and birddog. We want to hold each position for 10 seconds, and repeat on each side (3-6 repetitions is recommended).
