ELI5: Say I'm in danger, and due to adrenaline, I am able to lift something. Does adrenaline also help with making sure I don't tear my back in the process?

No, but adrenaline and other nervous system reactions will make you less susceptible to pain from tearing. For example, your significant other is trapped under the front of a car. You run over, filled with adrenaline, and manage to lift the front of the car far enough for someone to pull your SO out.

If you lift wrong, you are completely liable to tear/damage something in your back. However, the adrenaline response (fight or flight) may keep your brain from "recognizing" the pain and you'll continue to lift. This is why people that are injured when filled with adrenaline (car crashes are a great example) don't notice their injuries until afterwards. People will often step out of a car after a accident and be stunned when they see blood from an injury they had, as they can't really feel it.
