Yeah I remember the “never lift with your back” advice, it is trash because of the pieces of information it leaves out. Full (good) version goes like this:

Never lift (too heavy) with your (weak af) back (or you will get injured)

Now that statement is true, but the original is just coddling moronic nonsense, that encourages people to remain weak
