Although this exercise may look like a regular abdominal crunch, it’s not. The McGill curl up gives you better engagement of your abdominal muscles with the less risk to injuring your back.
The most important part of this exercise is that it doesn’t require you to round or flex your lower back forward. It stays in its naturally arched position throughout the entire exercise. As a result, the compression stress is minimized on your spine while you focus on strengthening your abdominal muscles.
