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
Doing workouts in a gym, you’re able to have ideal form and properly brace your muscles. If you’re on a job site, that’s less likely to happen if you’re lifting some oddly shaped thing at a weird angle. Also, it’s easier to maintain proper form for a 30 minute workout than several hours of working or moving furniture etc so it’s a safer bet to prioritize lifting with your legs.
