[QUOTE="Days, post: 3843060, member: 72509"] Can’t preach enough about working safely. The sups stress bending with your knees but I’m sure like many others here, if you have long legs, it’s not that easy to do. If you’re also a bit overweight it can be even harder to do and SLOW. The best method to lifting and lowering is to avoid doing so. If you’re a loader, find a good box to stack things on. Keep your back straight when lifting. You can lift objects without using your knees while also keeping your back straight, it just takes practice. Lastly, if you can hold onto a bar or a wall while picking things up. * use equipment to assist!!”. It takes stress off your back if you can push some of the force onto something else. I work safely and still get back pain. Mine probably stems from years of bad habits though. You’re not really aware of poor lifting habits until your back starts to finally wear out. [/QUOTE]
