dust isn't that heavy!!!
I used to carry 4 x 100 lb sandbags on my shoulder at the railyard 200 yards all day long twice per month, still some strength.
I actually did do some damage a few years ago, buddy asked me to move the straw chopper from behind his combine so he could get it out. I thought ok no trouble, but damn, it's big and heavy.
Got up to it, used my legs, lifted the damn thing a couple inches and thought 'how in hell does that skinny 200lb guy carry this?' So I got mad, bore down, wasn't going to let him carry more than me you know, lifted it and carried it, then when I turned to set it down I tore a bunch of muscles off the lower ribs.
20 minutes later I got done the 40 second walk into the house, and into the hospital we went. I could barely speak, he asked what I did. I asked how in the world he could carry the strawchopper, when I barely could?
"I use the front end loader".
That's the heaviest I ever lifted, and needless to say never again.
I still have trouble with my right side golfing, I feel that rip about half way through a tournament and for few days after.
