The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

That's what I was thinking, but you can absolutely modify your movements to, say, use more legs, and less turning of the hips.

My sport was boxing, and I threw my back out. Badly. Set me back for a long time, physical therapy, the works. When I went back, I ruled out several of my more explosive twisting moves. Stopped wrenching out of clinches, favoring work on the inside if forced.

And I was actively avoiding anything involving lifting or bending during that recovery.
