Using my legs to lift drywall made a big difference.

My back doesn't ache at the end of the day.

Man, that reminds me of when I moved my couch last year. I thought I could just muscle it, but my back said otherwise. Now I always squat down first.

Wait, you guys weren't already doing that? Sounds like your back figured out the secret before you did.

My back has been trying to teach me that lesson for years... I'm just a slow learner. It finally got its point across when I tried to lift a toolbox the wrong way. Now I treat every lift like I'm in a safety video, even if it's just a bag of groceries. The ego takes a hit, but the spine stays in one piece.
