It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?
In: Biology
It’s not just about “lift heavy git gud” there are a lot of other muscles you brace and engage when doing a deadlift. Positioning of your back is very important, and also bracing your core the right way also helps prevent damage. Deadlift motion trains you to engage the right muscles for longevity. To do it properly you would require good coaching to watch your form (ITS ALL ABOUT FORM) is a good way to do deadlifts multiple times as heavy as your own bodyweight.
