It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?
In: Biology
They work up to it gradually, which strengthens the whole system. The load is not just going into their lower back either, it’s spread across their whole back and thighs. Part of the function of these muscles is to protect your spine and keep it aligned even when you are lifting things. Lifting weights like this with proper form can actually make your back more resistant to injuries from falling and stuff like that. It is possible to get hurt deadlifting if you do it wrong, but the same thing is true about pushups or any other exercise
