Just read that the average carpet installer lifts over 2,000 pounds of material in a single day
I saw it in a trade magazine article about physical strain in our line of work. It made me think about how we never really keep track of that weight while we're just moving rolls and tools around. Do you guys do anything specific to help your back besides just being careful?

It's crazy how much hidden work our bodies do. My mail carrier probably lifts a ton of packages without a second thought. Same with a barista moving milk crates all morning. We just get the job done and don't add up the total weight until something hurts. Makes you wonder what other daily tasks have a huge hidden physical cost.
