Very rarely does anyone has any business picking up anything heavy with a rounded back EVER!
The spine should be kept as neutral as possible when picking up anything heavy. This minimises the stress put through the back and keeps it in the strongest and most injury free position.
If you’re having back pain when deadlifting or picking things up in the garden for example speak to your trainer to help you check your form!
