If you lift heavy objects from the ground with your knees extended, the pressure on your waist can increase by 40%, which can easily damage the ligaments, muscles and intervertebral discs in your waist. Therefore, you should not bend over when moving objects, but bend your knees, and maintain the curvature of your waist when it is in a normal upright position to avoid concentrating force on the waist. If the object is too heavy, do not use force.
