Eli5 How do you not lift with your back? Won’t there always be strain on your back?
In: Physics
When you lift, the idea is you keep your back rigid and tight, keeping your legs under you while using them to do the lifting. When lifting with your back, you are mostly bending at the hips and bringing your chest up rather than keeping it up when using your legs. I would suggest looking at a deadlifting form video and it’ll talk about that concept.
