How can lifting small loads over a period of time cause injury?

Lifting small loads repeatedly over time can lead to cumulative stress on muscles, tendons, and joints, increasing the risk of overuse injuries. This repetitive strain can result in conditions such as tendinitis or muscle strains, as the body may not fully recover between lifts. Poor lifting techniques or insufficient rest can exacerbate these issues, ultimately leading to chronic pain or injury. Additionally, fatigue can impair form, further increasing the risk of injury with each lift.
