Why is lifting items “with your back” dangerous? Why can’t back muscles be strengthened?
In: 17
Imagine yourself as a digger. Your muscles are the hydraulics and your spine is the boom and arm.
Now you can make the hydraulics stronger and lift more weight, but the boom and the arm can hold only so much weight, especially their joint. Under enough weight they will just crack.
The same goes for your spine, muscles can support it to some extent and training your back is good to prevent injuries, but at some point, these joints will just give in.
