Yea, that's usually the case when something is actually heavy to be fair. Always a good idea to make sure they're the muscles that tighten first!

Also to add more context; I specifically strength train the 'bad' way of lifting things, as it were. Like hyperextensions, bird dogs, superman, etc, so I'm not joking when I say I lift some "lighter" things in a 'bad' way when convenient. lol

... though if I feel back strain start to build up, you bet your ass I'll reposition! Only a fool (like younger me) just goes for a lift without paying attention to what the body is saying.
