My back cracked just reading this. The most I've lifted lately is a bag of birdseed and I still need a few minutes to recover.

Question whether it's really that serious. Birdseed bags are usually what, 20 pounds max? Unless you're out here wrestling 50 pound sacks of sunflower seeds, I think you'll survive. My grandma lifts bags of potting soil twice that size and she's 80. Maybe try some light stretching before you hit the bird feeder aisle next time.

Maybe some of us don't have grandma's core strength, Nathan.
