I was wondering if the brace would help keep my back properly aligned. If you guys have any other suggestions or ideas please let me know.

Bend your knees
It doesn't matter what you are doing, put a slight bend in your knees so your THIGHS are supporting your body.
If you try a weight that you need to swing, or lock your knees, that is your ego getting in the way of what your body is telling you
