Maybe not related to the actual skeletal structure of my back and the health of the discs between my vertebrae, but I feel I've not had more potential for problems because of a job I had during high school starting in my junior year and continuing for three years. Namely it was loading trucks with milk products four nights a week into diesel truck going out to other towns. I would load up to 4K cases of milk a night - quart cases weighed 55 lbs., half gallon cases weighed 67 lbs. I think I weighed around 150+ at the time. They came off a conveyor belt into the trailers where I stacked them six to eight high and pushed them back into the trailer in rows. After a decent time of doing this, I developed back muscles like loaves of French bread. That has stayed with me throughout my life and I think served me well. I attribute that at least partially, to the fact I've not had any back problems - knock on wood.
