Show Notes
We've been taught to tiptoe around the spine — stabilize, don't move, stay "neutral." But what if all that caution is actually holding you back from building strength where it matters? In this episode, I break down a few popular spine and core exercises you'll often see in strength programs or labeled as "prehab" that I think are overrated — plus the underrated ones more people should be doing instead, and why it matters. We'll talk intensity, progression, and what it actually looks like to train the spine — not just protect it.
