Sonny, you just don't know the best words. You use the right words and stuff gets almost fifty percent lighter for three or four seconds.
Makes sense, taking a deep breath, inflate the front, help load the torso, protecting the back. But, primarily, consider the lower back. If you built a crane and ran the cable to lift the mast only three inches above the mast pivot, the bearing pressures at the shaft the mast pivots on would be insane. SO, bending over and lifting is really putting crushing pressures on the discs in your back. Gotta bend knees. Being old, sixty, and with a knee that will just go out, both rotator scuffles damaged, I do things slowly but carefully. A rope on a load, around my waist, and lift and walk backwards slowly.. Slow is better than further damage.
