From what I’ve learnt in university… proper posture is everything. How you sit, how you sleep, how you do all the little things (and ofcourse how you work out as well). All activities have a “proper” posture for doing it to *MINIMIZE* the chances that you might develop back pains in the future.
Back Muscles also help in supporting the vertebrae when doing work. (tl:dr) So Ideally you’d want to: look up how to have proper posture for doing anything; try and develop some back muscles; and possibly incorporate some mobility exercises + warming up before doing anything that might put pressure on your back.
*Disclaimer* I’m not a doctor, just a year 2 university student who has (and still is) studied Human anatomy & Human nutrition.
