Back Braces Can Make You Weaker

Back braces feel supportive.
And sometimes, that’s useful.

👉 Short-term support can reduce symptoms
👉 Long-term reliance reduces muscle demand
👉 And muscles adapt by doing less

Your body only keeps what it needs.
If a brace does the job,
your system quietly steps back.

That’s why:
• Support feels good now
• Confidence doesn’t improve
• And pain returns without it

Braces can be a tool — not a strategy.
Strength is what provides lasting support.

The Bird Dog looks easy.

Until you do it properly.

Most people turn it into:

❌ A balance circus
❌ A lower back arch competition
❌ A wobbly yoga impression

And then say, “I don’t feel anything.”

Exactly.

Because you’re moving… instead of controlling.

The Bird Dog (from the McGill Big 3, created by spine expert Stuart McGill) is about one thing:

👉 Teaching your core to resist movement.

Here’s how to actually do it:

✅ Hands under shoulders, knees under hips
✅ Neutral spine (no sagging, no rounding)
✅ Brace your abs
✅ Extend opposite arm + leg
✅ Reach LONG, not high
✅ Keep hips square
✅ Hold 5–10 seconds
✅ No wobbling

If your lower back is moving… you’re doing it wrong.

You should feel:

– Deep core tension
– Glutes working
– Stability, not strain

This is the kind of exercise that:

✔ Protects your spine under heavy lifts
✔ Improves rotational control (hello golfers 👀)
✔ Builds resilience for running & conditioning
✔ Actually helps back pain

It’s not sexy.

But neither is a slipped disc.

Control > chaos.

Rest Is Not a Back Pain Cure

Rest feels logical.
When something hurts, you stop.

👉 Short-term rest can help symptoms
👉 Long-term rest reduces capacity
👉 And lower capacity means lower tolerance

When tissues aren’t exposed to load,
they become less confident handling it.

That’s why:
• Pain returns when you move again
• Normal tasks feel threatening
• And flare-ups repeat

The answer isn’t “do nothing.”
It’s do the right amount.

Movement is medicine — when it’s dosed properly.

Is your lower back a bit… Spursy right now?

Looks promising pre-season.
Talks a big game in the warm-up.
Then completely falls apart when the pressure hits.

If your back keeps conceding late goals (aka flaring up after a long day, heavy lift, or 5-a-side), it’s not a curse…
It’s:
❌ Weak glutes
❌ A core that goes missing
❌ Hips tighter than a top-four race

Stop hoping for a miracle turnaround.
Start building strength that lasts the full 90.

Drop “SPURSY” in the comments and I’ll send you 3 exercises to stop your back getting relegated to the treatment table.

If your plank makes your lower back hurt…

It’s not the plank.
It’s how you’re doing it.

Most people plank like this:

❌ Sagging hips
❌ Rib cage flared
❌ Looking forward like they’re waiting for a bus
❌ Holding their breath and praying for it to end

That’s not core training.
That’s a lower-back endurance test.

Here’s how to fix it 👇

Think “shorten the distance between ribs and hips.”

✅ Elbows under shoulders
✅ Squeeze glutes
✅ Tuck pelvis slightly (posterior tilt)
✅ Brace abs like you’re about to be punched
✅ Breathe slowly through the brace

You shouldn’t feel it in your lower back.
You should feel:

– Deep abs
– Glutes
– A full-torso tension

Hold for 15–30 seconds of QUALITY.
Not 2 minutes of survival mode.

The plank isn’t about how long you can suffer.
It’s about how well you can create stiffness.

And stiffness is what protects your spine when you:

Deadlift
Run
Carry heavy stuff
Play golf
Exist past the age of 30

Train smarter.
Quality over ego.

Hip Mobility vs Hip Strength

Stretching feels productive.
That doesn’t mean it’s the solution.

👉 Many “tight” hips aren’t short
👉 They’re weak and poorly controlled
👉 And your nervous system locks them down for safety

Mobility isn’t just about range.
It’s about owning the range you already have.

That’s why:
• Stretching gives temporary relief
• Stiffness returns under load
• And nothing really changes

Strength creates control.
Control creates confidence.
And confidence often reduces stiffness.

Stop stretching your hamstrings.

Yeah, I said it.

If your hamstrings “feel tight” every single day…
there’s a good chance they’re not tight.

They’re overworked.

When your glutes aren’t doing their job, your hamstrings step in like the unpaid intern of your posterior chain.

They get stiff.
They get cranky.
You stretch them.
Nothing changes.

Instead, try this 👇

Glute Bridges.

Why?

✅ Activates your glutes properly
✅ Takes load off your hamstrings
✅ Improves hip extension
✅ Supports your lower back
✅ Actually fixes the problem

Do 2–3 sets of 10–15 controlled reps.
Squeeze at the top for 2 seconds.
Ribs down. Core tight. No over-arching.

If your hamstrings “magically” feel looser after that…

They weren’t tight.
They were tired.

Stretching isn’t bad.
But stretching a muscle that’s overworking is like giving painkillers to someone who just needs help.

Train smarter.

Glutes on.
Hamstrings calm down.
Lower back thanks you.

Save this for the next time someone says
“I just need to stretch my hammies.”

Core Stability Reduces Pain — Not By “Bracing Hard”

Core stability isn’t about max tension.
It’s about just enough.

👉 Over-bracing increases compression
👉 Excess tension can heighten pain sensitivity
👉 And people confuse effort with effectiveness

Your core’s real job is endurance and control.
Low-level support that stays on while you move.

That’s why:
• “Crush your abs” often backfires
• Breathing feels restricted
• And backs feel worse, not better

Think coordination, not domination.
Breathing and stability aren’t separate — they’re linked.

Most people train abs like they’re trying to impress someone on a 2006 gym DVD.

Fast crunches.
Neck pulling.
Lower back screaming.

Then they wonder why their back feels like it’s 87 years old.

Enter the McGill Curl-Up 👇
Created by spine expert Stuart McGill, this isn’t about smashing reps… it’s about building a bulletproof core.

Here’s why it works:

✅ Keeps your spine neutral
✅ Builds real core stiffness
✅ Reduces unnecessary disc stress
✅ Actually helps back pain instead of causing it

It’s not flashy.
It won’t give you an ab pump selfie.
But it WILL make you stronger under a barbell, more stable in a golf swing, and more resilient carrying heavy stuff.

Think of it like this:

Crunches = movement.
McGill Curl-Up = control.

And control is what protects your spine when you’re deadlifting, running Hyrox, carrying a yoke… or just picking up your kids without sounding like Rice Krispies.

Why Your Hamstrings Feel Tight

“Tight” doesn’t always mean short.
Most of the time, it means protective.

👉 Hamstrings often guard the spine
👉 Especially when hips aren’t doing their job
👉 So they stay switched on — all the time

That’s why:
• You stretch daily
• They loosen for 10 minutes
• Then feel tight again

Stretching changes sensation.
Strength changes behaviour.

When hips get stronger and more reliable,
hamstrings don’t need to overwork.

Why Injections Aren’t a Solution

Injections can reduce pain.
That doesn’t mean they fix the problem.

👉 They calm symptoms
👉 They don’t rebuild strength or control
👉 And resilience doesn’t come from relief alone

Pain relief can be useful.
But if movement capacity doesn’t improve,
load tolerance stays low — and flare-ups return.

That’s why:
• Pain feels better, but function doesn’t
• Confidence stays fragile
• And normal life still triggers symptoms

Relief creates a window.
Movement and training are what use it.
