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
The unspoken caveat to not lifting with your back is not lifting heavy things with just your back muscles without also engaging your core and hips properly. Those exercises start at a relatively low weight, and with proper form will strengthen the muscles used when lifting from a less ergonomic/more bent over position.
