Apr 9, 2023 at 7:01 comment added David Scarlett @Neelahn I think it can be assumed, given that the orthopedist did not offer instruction on correct technique, that when they said that the poster was making "a mistake" in which muscles they were using, they were referring only to muscle recruitment and they perceived posture and technique to be correct.
Apr 9, 2023 at 6:58 comment added David Scarlett @FeRD that's why I said "despite correct technique". The adage about lifting with your legs rather than your back is cautioning about listing posture (i.e. different technique) rather than being able to use different muscles despite identical posture.
Apr 8, 2023 at 18:08 comment added FeRD I mean... if you can "lift with your legs, not with your back", then I'd push back some (heh... no pun) on the notion that you "can't" employ the wrong muscles to perform some work. Similar to poor lifting technique, I can think of two different ways to use the muscles in my lower torso to push my arm against something. Sure, the arm's only moving because it's attached to my torso, and I'm moving the whole thing. But it's still moving, despite the arm muscles being uninvolved for anything more than bracing, and certainly not doing the work of actually moving the arm.
Apr 8, 2023 at 17:30 comment added Naebaf The technique correctness is only mentioned in the title by OP, and it is not reflected by the exchange reported in the post as something said by the orthopedist, who, on the contrary, say the exercises are not done correctly. This should not be the green tick answer.
