1549   PowerLift: Lifting Training That Works!   (DVD)

Most of us have been trained to lift objects with the traditional "bend your knees and keep your back straight" technique, but it just doesn't work. This method forces us to overuse our knees and legs and out backs still end up bearing the brunt of the load. Dr. Michael Schaefer has recognized the flaws of the conventional lifting technique and developed a safe, easier and stronger lifting position: the powerlift. The powerlift keeps the back in a powerful and safe posture while an object is being lifted. This program explains the five lifting techniques that have been derived from the powerlift position so viewers can move materials safely in practically every situation. Topics include flaws of the squat lift, the wide stance powerlift and its basic principles, the tipping load powerlift, the tripod powerlift, the golfer's bend, the lean-bar lifting technique and how bridging adds strength and balance as a person lifts.
