Thanks, I once managed to hurt myself by not maintaining the tension throughout a squat, I never made that mistake again and it made me extra attentive ever since with the more modest lifts too.I'm saying that if you do a squat, you will automatically take a big breath and brace your spine without thinking about it.
Nowadays the most strenuous thing I do is one legged dead lift with dumbbells - except for last weekend when a neighbour lent me one of those 2 wheeled trolley things to install a washing machine. Had to lower it onto its side to attach some sound insulation, then walk it in to the cubby hole. I didn't hurt myself, but could feel it the next day!
