3. The Forces Involved
The amount of force you place on your
back in lifting may surprise you!
Think of your back as a lever.
With the fulcrum
in the center, it only
takes ten pounds of
pressure to lift a ten
pound object.
4. The Forces Involved
If you shift the fulcrum to one side, it takes much more
force to lift the same object. Your waist acts like the
fulcrum in a lever system, on a 10:1 ratio.
Lifting a
ten pound
object puts
100 pounds
of pressure
on your
lower back.
5. The Forces Involved
When you add in the
105 pounds of the
average human upper
torso, you see that
lifting a ten pound
object actually puts
1,150 pounds of
pressure on the
lower back.
6. The Forces Involved
If you were 25 pounds
overweight, it would add
an additional 250 pounds
of pressure on your back
every time you bend over.
