keep it general not to dox yourself and whatnot, just wondering if there's anyone else adopting the fielder method. and also what's the worst thing you have had to pick up and carry somewhere? for me it is a toss up between upright piano, heavy treadmill and slab of granite.

my actual recommendations are trying to sneak in some stretching every morning and lift with yr knees and things that aren't your back as much as possible! also make sure you're getting a lot of rest. I don't seem as injury prone as some of my younger co-workers and I think they're not getting enough sleep.

I always try to lift with my legs as much as I can. I have only pulled my back like twice in 10 years on this job. so I’m doing ok.
