It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?
In: Biology
Your spine can handle an insane amount of compressive forces. If you do the lift in a way that the load in your back is compressive and not shear (with a rounded back) then you can load your glutes hamstrings and quads to a very high load and it’s safe. It’s why form and loading properly is of utmost importance.
