[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 52444"] Dont wear a back brace, just lift properly. If you get used to one of those, someday you will be moving a piece of furniture at home, or go to pick up a kid, or a ball, or whatever, you will hurt yourself because you have become used to the added support, and it wont be there. JMO but unless you have a back injury, you shouldnt wear those, and if you have a back injury you would not have been hired. Freeze up some bottles of water while it is still warm out and drink constantly. Even in winter. Think of a steak....Rare is very pliable and moist, well done is stiff like leather. Same with your muscles. If they become dehydrated, they will strain, sprain or break, if hydrated they will move and flex. (I only know this from Therapy after an injury.) Gatorade is OK, but nothing is as good as pure water, and its cheaper. And after work on the way home drink another bottle. It also keeps you from being fatigued.
