Lift with your legs, stupid
I managed to tweak my back tonight while moving some computers around. I was hunched over the computer, one hand steadying myself on a window sill while the other hand was trying to push the machine into a corner. A sudden pain shot through my lower back and hasn’t really gone away. So let this be a lesson: whether you’re lifting in the gym or just moving something around the house, proper form will help prevent you from hurting yourself.
With luck it isn’t major, I’m supposed to go snowboarding on Thursday.
