I sometimes hurt myself by leaning too heavily on one side, and I've even torn a few pairs of pants at the knees.

Well they say you're supposed to bend down using the knees while keeping the back relatively upright when lifting heavy things.

Wear looser pants or try hitching your pants up at the knees before bending.
