[0:00]If your low back hurts, it's not your back muscles fault, and building them won't fix it. Take my patient, for example, his back felt weak and painful every time he deadlifted for months. Now, most people would think the fix is just to strengthen the low back muscles, but here's the truth. That lack of strength and pain is usually just a symptom, not the root cause. The real issue was instability. His spine couldn't tolerate the shear forces from poor hip hinging mechanics. Every rep his back moved too much, so the pain kept coming. So here's how we fixed it. Step one, the McGill Big 3 core routine. 10-second holds to build true spine stiffness. Step two, we trained a proper hip hinge. By cueing him to brace his core and push his hands into his thighs, he learned how to move through the hips, not his spine. The result? His back pain disappeared almost instantly because we treated the root cause, not just the symptoms.
