Maybe you could focus one the muscles you aren't using as much at work, like legs and chest? think of work as back and shoulders, to a certain extent legs but they should be able to handle more work. i would think eventually you will become accustomed to lifting the boxes and then you will be able to ad in more shoulder/chest work.
