    Unless it’s a bar on your shoulders, your back is going to be engaged at least a little (and even then a lifting belt is recommended for heavier weights).

    But training your core and buying a back support brace is a good idea for anyone.

      People need to be doing deadlifts for longevity.

      There’s no reason a 35 year old should be hesitant about manual labour.

        Yeah, I lift but I’m not spectacularly strong or anything and I move my parents out practically by myself when I was 35.
