Stabiliser muscles are very important! Most muscles work in muscle groups even if you’re only targeting one with a workout. Your rotator cuff is a big example and stabilises your shoulder when doing say dumbbell bench. It’s why sometimes you could physically lift a weight but you really can’t without being stupid shaky and off

I was too and it's definitely important to know to pass the classes and prepares you for rehab settings and general exercise. Otherwise if you're goals are to just lift heavy shit or be a bodybuilder then yeah it would seem useless to you

I’m a strongman, if you think some back rounding is a deadlift is bad you should watch some of the crazier events we have to do

? It’s literally just the word we use to describe the damage of muscle tissue that leads to hypertrophy.

Hate to break it to you but your knowledge on the subject is dated asf in that case, has nothing to do with damaging the muscle

Damage does not lead to hypertrophy. Mechanical stress does. Damage leads to slowed recovery and lessened gains. That is an outdated concept proven wrong for a while.
