Topic: I disagree with people on how to lift anything
Anonymous A started this discussion 1 year ago #123,214
In the banana factory I like to pull on the boxes so they slide and swing into my open arms. It's easier than bending down like you are doing a deadlift or something. I argue that all these methods of lifting weights to protect your back is most likely doing harm.
The way I see it, we are like wounded animals and the thing about wounded animals is that they know best which position is best to rest in, likewise, we know best how to deal with a lot of weight. It heavily depends on the person

I feel you. Nobody ever agrees with me on the best way to flip a light switch.

I do a handstand and flip the switch with my feet.

Huh, maybe the middle way is a handstand with something between your feet that you then kick at the switch

Can you explain what you mean by "slide and swing into my open arms"? Are the boxes on the floor?

You probably have to see it at the banana factory to get it.

Most of the time they are on other banana boxes, but in the end, what is left is at floor level. So I just grab and pull, swinging the box into the position I want. This way there's less time spent holding boxes in a awkward way.

Well you don't hear me complain about back pain.
