Preventing Lower Back Pain When Lifting
Lower back injuries often stem from poor bracing and form. Learn to create 360-degree core pressure by breathing into your stomach and obliques, not just your chest. Maintain a neutral spine—neither rounded nor hyperextended. Hip hinge properly rather than bending at the waist. Don't lift with a rounded back; if you can't maintain position, the weight is too heavy or your form needs work.
