Simply touching your toes with legs straight and upper body bending at the waist creates a force equal to 450 pounds on back muscles. Lifting a 50 pound weight with legs straight while bending at the waist increases the force on the back muscles to 750 pounds and causes compression equal to 850 pounds.
