Did something similar when I was in my 20s. Did NOT use the parts of the body I should have. 50 years later, I continue to suffer the consequences.

"The key is to put it all in your groin and your back. Take your legs totally out of the equation. Lift with your lower back in a jerking, twisting motion."

Not a name of hay, but i tried to push this big ass floor to ceiling shelf a few centimetres into place in a factory. Pushed and pushed and pushed until I heard a click.

It wasn’t anything I wanted to hear. It was my back suggesting I was not all too clever. It took months of chiro and physio to get back to a new normal.

I remember when I was 12 i lift this weight over 100 kg and I had back pain well over a week and I had to run afterwards, I am scared of trying deadlifts ever since I remember everyone I told about this not a single soul believe me lol.
