Some laborious jobs causes long term injuries from having poor form, no proper breaks or warm up.

There’s a big difference between:

warming up, during a short set of 10-12 repetitions, taking a 3 min break and then repeating.

VS: Plowing a field by hand, bad form stressing the lower back, no rest time etc.
