    This explanation is the best I have ever seen on the McGill three. It's not just form, no just breath, but intent. Thank you for making this, it is an important video for every athlete.

    Probably the best video on McGill big 3.<br><br>No video describes the actual brace and the intent behind each exercise. This video answered all the questions I had in mind.<br><br>Thanks Sam. You’re the man. <br><br>This is gold.

    Thanks. I&apos;m definitely the guy who strated doing these to improve just about every aspect related to back and hip and core, but has been doing them without understanding the full chain of purpose and effort. Not totally fruitlessly, but with something that could be improved with this.<br><br>Something I don&apos;t understand though is how in the side plank the glute that doesn&apos;t do its job (in walk cycle or squatting i.e. lets it collapse to that side and not push it evenly to the other side) doesn&apos;t burn despite getting good lat and oblique engagement and solid push forward from the hip.
