It is easier to lift a heavy stone under water because the water provides buoyant force that counters the weight of the stone. This buoyant force reduces the effective weight of the stone when submerged in water, making it easier to lift. In air, there is no buoyant force to counteract the weight of the stone, so it feels heavier to lift.
Walking up the stairs involves flexion at the hip and knee joints to lift the leg, as well as plantar flexion at the ankle joint to push off the ground. Additionally, there is extension at the hip and knee joints to move the body up the stairs.

The primary antagonist for hip flexion is the gluteus maximus, as it functions to extend the hip joint. Additionally, the hamstring muscles, particularly the semitendinosus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris, also play a role in opposing hip flexion. When the hip flexors contract to lift the thigh, these muscles act to control or resist that movement.
