As long as what you life is not too heavy. Than it becomes very unhealthy.

Agree, I got into it and upped the weight pretty substantially and had injuries. Would not recommend. There's really no point to high weight. Moderation in all things... I can build a strong back with medium weight and more reps too.
In my experience, "too heavy" is a relative term.
If you can lift it with proper form, then it is not too heavy. But you definitely need to watch out for that.
Yes, proper form will be absolutely fine. But as the weight gets heavy for you, keeping a great form will be very difficult. You see many weight lifting olympians getting serious injuries.
Why?
Form breaks down, injuries more likely
