Best to just avoid sneezing, at all, if possible.

I sneezed after the back went out, it hurt so much Knearly had to have myself a bit of a cry.

What will always get you is doing something unusual. When working, always have a safe procedure for moving and be very careful when doing things a different way. When at home or at leisure, don't go beyond the limits of what you're used to doing without planning and prep. And know those limits! I've pulled my back a few times before and I wasn't doing anything more than usual, but I was doing it differently, and it got me.

On a serious note, do deadlifts.

I cured my back pain with squats and deadlifts.

I should know better, old man is always lurking, stalking and waiting for a sign of weakness.
