If we are taught to never lift with our backs, why are there popular exercises like Romanian deadlifts and good mornings which has you specifically lifting with your back?
In: Biology
When people say this, they’re mostly referring to lifting with a rounded back. When you do a controlled movement like an RDL or Good Morning, you’re keeping your spine rigid and your back mostly straight. Some rounding is permitted, but it’s very minimal. When you’re lifting with your legs, it’s with the idea that you’re keeping a straight spine.
