In a sense, yes. They keep lifting heavier and heavier objects, and that weight adds up each time one lifts. So, say I lift a book. Then I go and set that book down and pick up a different book. Instead of picking up the weight of one book, I am picking up the weight of two. The increased weight isn't noticeable in the early stages because of the overall strength increase. Obviously, most people who discover the ability to lift heavy objects will go right for testing the limits. And each object they lift is added together, so that those three separate trucks you lifted are all added together by the third. Eventually, that weight is too much, and the person isn't able to move out from under it, as they are supporting the massive weight. And because the artifact only increases strength, and not endurance, it results in them eventually being crushed.

If the globe is a more modern addition, what else could we use?
