You picked up that box without a second thought. Your back was hunched, and your muscles were strained. Don't you realize what you're risking?? Bend with your knees!!! How hard is that to remember???
I say over and over that we need to strengthen our cores. I don't know how to convey to people how important that is. So maybe I should stop trying. People try to get me to stop drinking so much coffee.... I know it'd be better for me if I did. And I don't do anything about it. But so... I'm a hypocrite. Who cares.
I'll end up dehydrated with a weak immune system and shitty sleeping patterns. If you don't take care of your back, you'll ruin your life. If my entire life didn't revolve around a miracle... around the freak outcome of a 30-foot drop.... I'd be typing this from a wheelchair. And in fact, I probably wouldn't be typing this at all.
Your. Whole. Life. depends on you taking care of your back. Your WHOLE life!!! Figure it out.

As they say, lift with your legs. It's good for the muscles, it's good for the bones.
