This is a practical guide that complements the solo episode of the Huberman Lab podcast on strengthening and pain-proofing your back. It demonstrates the McGill's Big 3 exercises, developed by Dr. Stuart McGill, a psoas stretch, and a cobra-like pushup to alleviate back pain and strengthen the back effectively. Variations of these exercises are shown to accommodate different fitness levels and anatomical considerations. Additionally, further resources are discussed for those seeking to understand the science behind these exercises and improve their back health.
