I've had too many lifting jobs, I know all the proper lifting techniques. My father has a bad back and I don't want to end up with the same pain.
Agreed, if ya dont do it right, depending on the weight, it could hurt ya for a long time.
In general my back doesnt hurt but there are times where I have moved in the wrong way and OMG... there is goes... it usually loosens itself out after a bit.
The worse was when I was on bicycle and a truck hit me, a hit and run... That back pain lasted about a month and got some relief from chiropractic but more from electronic acupuncture.
