What muscles should be used most during lifting?
Answer (2)
During lifting, key muscle groups include the leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes), core muscles (abdominals and obliques), back muscles (latissimus dorsi and erector spinae), and shoulder and arm muscles (deltoids, biceps, and triceps). Engaging these muscles appropriately helps in effective strength training and injury prevention. A well-rounded workout regimen should focus on strengthening all these areas.

When lifting, the legs (including the glutes, quads, and hamstrings) should be doing the majority of the work, not the back or arms. This helps prevent injury and utilizes the larger, stronger muscles in your lower body. Proper lifting technique involves keeping your back straight and bending at the knees. ;
