The air echoed with the strain of his effort as veins bulged across his sweat-drenched forehead. With a primal roar, the man hoisted the massive boulder onto his shoulders, muscles rippling in protest. The weight pressed down, threatening to crush both body and spirit.
Undeterred, he descended into a deep squat, the muscle fibers of his legs trembling under the colossal load. Beads of determination mixed with sweat, dripping onto the ground below. His muscles screamed in agony, yet his spirit roared louder.
In a burst of sheer willpower, he rose against the crushing force, the boulder refusing to break his resolve. His muscles, on the brink of exhaustion, pulsated with raw power while begging for rest.
