The Biomechanics of Back Pain:
Even a light weight (10kg) held at a 45° angle creates a huge lever arm. The back muscles (Erector Spinae) must pull with extreme force (approx 2000N) to counteract gravity.
NIOSH Safety Limit: 3400N is considered the "Action Limit" where risk of disc injury significantly increases.
