Back talk: Do you swear by pre-shift stretches or trust your technique alone?
On my sites, I see electricians hunched over panels for hours... some do quick stretches, others jump right in. I've had my share of concrete aches, so I started doing light yoga in the morning, and it helped a ton. But a buddy of mine, also an electrician, says if you lift right and take breaks, you're fine. He thinks stretches are a waste of time. I'm torn because I've seen guys who stretch still get hurt, and others who don't seem fine. I've read mixed things online, with some studies saying it helps and others saying it doesn't. So, I'm curious what real electricians think based on their daily grind. What's the consensus here?
