In a workout, a “heavy lift” requires strength, stamina, and a good strategy. You need drive, motivation, a willingness to power through, and a good dose of courage. For all of this, it helps to have good support.
Sometimes the “heavy lift” is an actual weight on the bar. But other times, the heavy lift is just getting to the gym.
But it doesn’t apply only to workouts.
The Heavy Lift has become a term I use to describe the hard actions I need to take, whether in the gym or in life outside the gym.
Just like a given weight on the bar might be a heavy lift for some people but a light lift for others, what counts as a Heavy Lift in life will be different for different people.
Sometimes The Heavy Lift is an emotional lift, such as having a difficult conversation or navigating a big life transition.
Sometimes The Heavy Lift is about visibility, such as showing up on social media or in your local community and speaking your truth.
For some people, The Heavy Lift can be the admin tasks of life: setting up new accounts, sending newsletters, making mundane phone calls.
Just like a heavy barbell, the Heavy Lift is the thing we need to gear up for. We need strength, stamina, strategy, courage, drive, motivation, and support.
