√  Twist while lifting

Twisting in the middle of a lift amplifies forces on the lower back.

      Imagine placing a tomato between the palms of your   hands and applying direct pressure. It might take a great deal of force to burst the tomato. However, give the motion a twist while applying the pressure, and it will take far less pressure to burst the tomato.

     Twisting while lifting, pushing, pulling, lowering, or raising can have the same effect on the squishy jelly-filled disks in your back. Consequently, twisting while engaging in any of these maneuvers exposes the back to much greater risk of injury.
