      Unless it’s a bar on your shoulders, your back is going to be engaged at least a little (and even then a lifting belt is recommended for heavier weights).

      But training your core and buying a back support brace is a good idea for anyone.

        People need to be doing deadlifts for longevity.

        There’s no reason a 35 year old should be hesitant about manual labour.
