What can cause a great deal of stress on your neck, shoulders, back, and legs when lifting heavy objects?

Using only your arms to lift
Not bending at your knees and keeping your back straight
Lifting quickly without pausing
Keeping the object close to your body while lifting

The correct answer is: Not bending at your knees and keeping your back straight

When lifting heavy objects, it is important to use proper lifting techniques to avoid injury and strain on your body. Option A is incorrect because using only your arms to lift will put excessive strain on your shoulders and can cause injury. Option C is incorrect because lifting quickly without pausing can cause you to lose control of the object and potentially hurt yourself. Option D is also incorrect because while keeping the object close to your body is helpful, it is not the main cause of stress on your body when lifting heavy objects. Bending at your knees and keeping your back straight is crucial to distributing the weight evenly and avoiding strain on your neck, shoulders, back, and legs.
