Hello, NF. Pretty simple question: Are there any tutorials for picking and moving dumbbells around the gym without risk of hurting one's back? I find that, once everything is in place, I can do a lot of stuff with dumbbells, but I sometimes get scary pangs in my back when taking or putting the weights back on the dumbbell rack. I've found that making sure my abs and glutes are clenched helps a long way towards avoiding said scary pangs, but I was wondering if there's a "proper" way to manipulate dumbbells that I just haven't learned. This had gotten a bit worrying because, as I progress and need heavier dumbbells, I'm getting closer and closer to the edge of the upper rack. This means that soon I'll have to squat if I actually want to pick up a heavy dumbbell, and I'm quite honestly terrified of hurting my back in such a silly way. Thanks!
