One of the most common causes of lower back injury is incorrect lifting technique. 💡 How do you protect your back when lifting? When lifting and carrying a heavy object, get close to the object, bend your knees and tighten your stomach muscles. Use your leg muscles to support your body as you stand up. Hold the object close to your body. Maintain the natural curve of your back. #lifting #liftingweights #properlifting #deadlift #deadlifts #deadlifting #deadliftform #crossfit #crossfitlife #cross
