It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?
In: Biology
In addition to other comments mentioning bracing and the entire posterior chain helping in the lift, many times people forget that the (low) back has muscles that can grow and get stronger. You don’t start off deadlifting 600+lbs. As you get stronger, your back also gets stronger and is able to handle more load.
