It seems that this exercise goes against the wisdom of “lift with your legs.” Why is that?
In: Biology
All exercises can mess you up, but deadlifts are one of the easiest to do wrong. You’re supposed to use your legs to do the lift while the back/core muscles keep your back straight. You’re supposed to use your glutes when thrusting your hips forward to straight up. Glutes are basically your butt muscles. The bending motion should be at your hips, not your waist/lower back.
