In short, the vast majority of people have stronger legs than they have backs. This is because are legs sole purpose is to support weight and move it around. Whereas your back, although it aids in the support of your body weight, is much less used to heavy weight, and more importantly has many more functions to do with the nervous system that make it so muscular growth in your back is harder to achieve than in your legs.
