I know this isn't exactly exercise related however I lift an excessive amount of weight for my job on a nightly basis. Where I work we pack dough, so we have to lift the trays that the dough is placed on. Some of them average about 20-25 lbs. a piece. Once that's done they go into boxes and you have to lift those which range from 20-30 lbs. Then you put them on dollies and fill those up until there's about 300-400 lbs. on them. By the end of the night it averages between 3,000-5,000 lbs. It's not like when exercising where there's pauses, repitions, and all that. IT's a continuous lifting motion. Stacking the cases they can go as much as 19-20 high which is way taller then me. I know pregnant woman can usually lift between 20-25 lbs. at a time. But does this include lifting the amount of weight I do in a 3 hour period. There's no sitting, no breaks. Its all on cement painted floors that I tend to fallon which scares me. I have 3 times in the last month. So I don't know what to do. They are trying to say at work that it's fine but I don't know what other's experiences have been. Could someone please let me know what they have found out. I would appreciate it.
