Squat slightly to pick things up, rather than bend at the waist. Four years of developing the habit.

I'm with you on that, i have a very manual job, im pretty much on my feet all day, and so i know the importance of looking after your back, it's not fun to put your back out while stooping over picking up an empty box!

Good idea. I'm not even at bending by the waist yet, I curl from the neck down like one of them slap bracelets.
