It also moonlights in sarcasm: βcarrying the team,β hauling groceries like theyβre Atlas stones, or joking about lifting the emotional weight of a group chat. Expect it in CrossFit tales, Olympic hype, and pre-workout-fueled texts that read like a motivational poster. It can even get flirtyββsee you on bench day?ββor meme-y with the eternal line: βbro, do you even lift?β
