182
Yea, I really don’t lift much during training camp, I just focus on strength and conditioning, but in the time off, that’s where I’ll really hit the squats and the dead lifts. That’s when I tend to put on some weight, get to about 230lbs.
183
I sometimes apply eyeliner – Giorgio Armani Smooth Silk Eye Pencil in #1 Black – and smudge it with my fingers really quickly to give it a little lift, almost a cat eye. It’s all about giving a lift now.

187
You need to lift weights and do more resistance training. Get more sleep. I’m the first one who’s guilty of not doing that, but I work on it, and I’m aware of it. And drink more water. Drink Propel. You have to hydrate. You simply can’t perform at the level you could perform at if you’re dehydrated. Period.
188
When we were at Stoke and we first got in to the Premier League we had been second in the Championship and were regular winners in that division. The following year we weren’t regular winners, so you have to manage yourself and you have to be positive yourself you have to lift the players.
189
Surround yourself with people who lift you higher.
190
Some people are born to lift heavy weights, some are born to juggle golden balls.
191
I think yoga has given me better posture. People don’t realise how strong it makes you. You have to use your body weight to hold yourself. As you get older, you’re supposed to lift weights, but I find that kind of boring. Yoga is lifting my own body.
192
A healthy body means a healthy mind. You get your heart rate up, and you get the blood flowing through your body to your brain. Look at Albert Einstein. He rode a bicycle. He was also an early student of Jazzercise. You never saw Einstein lift his shirt, but he had a six-pack under there.
193
You surround yourself with amazing, grade-A talent, and you’re going to have to lift your game. You kind of thrive just by being around such people.
194
I think it’s so important as a woman, and especially as a minority, to lift as you climb. So having people shadow you or mentoring people – that’s important to me.
195
Ministers should impress upon the people the necessity of individual effort. No church can flourish unless its members are workers. The people must lift where the ministers lift.

200
Being a strongman is a real test of functional strength. What can you pick up, carry and how fast can you move it. It’s not a weight room strength, it takes brute strength and power to lift, carry and pull all types objects from fire engines, Mack trucks, transport planes and large stones.
201
A lost election can have the jolt of a drop through the gallows door, leading to a dark night of the soul in which the future presses down like a cloud that will never lift.

Caregivers need humor not only for the healing aspect but also to lift our spirits and inspire us to keep doing what we are doing.
204

205
I don’t lift weights. I do fitness exercises to stay strong.
206
Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.
207

208
Before, I could lift 600lbs in squats and all incredible stuff in the gym, but if I walked a couple of miles I’d probably get out of breath.

215
When I come out of my dressing room, I go to my heart and say a little prayer and go out on stage. There I am, coming to lift you up and to motivate you. I want to bring joy. It’s gospel, and gospel is the truth. It’s what I do. I’m going to bring you the truth and lift up your spirit.
216
When you are standing in a corner at the party, when you’ve arrived early for the meeting, when the doors have closed but the lift won’t start, there’s nothing worse than being lost for words.
217
I was compared to a bird that was too fat to lift itself off the ground.
218
Government attempts to ban fracking should be aborted. The government should lift the burdensome regulations that have made the construction of nuclear power plants excessively expensive, thereby freeing up even more natural gas for direct use or for methanol manufacture.
219
As we grow, we lift our gaze higher and higher, and then sometimes we are brought to our knees, but all is not lost; what we find on the ground can be very valuable and precisely what we need.

223
There is no formula to it. Writing every song is a little journey. The first note has to lift you.

229

230
All in all, racing with lift and coast is actually harder.
231

232
My vision is that I’m living to see two more daughters get married, dance at their weddings and then lift the Lombardi Trophy several times.
233
I was quite shy. I found my way, I suppose, with food. It’s a confidence builder. How else in life do you get that opportunity for someone to say to you, ‘Wow, that’s really great’? You put food in front of someone and, ‘Ahhh, I really enjoyed that!’ It’s a lift.
234
I don’t need to do that many weights but every now and then I do the bar, with 25-30 kilos on either side, which amounts to roughly probably my body weight. I lift this up above my head, then drop it and lift it up again.

I’ve been doing Pilates since 1974, I lift weights, I power walk every day and I run backwards. That’s sometimes a little hard when you’re not on your home turf, because you’ve got to find a place where there are no bumps in the way – or people.
238
I think you always want to have a project where it’s not about you: where you’re serving it. Where it has needs, and you’re trying to meet those needs, so you’re trying to lift it out of you and put it out there and then say to people, ‘Hey, I think that’s it; let’s head that way.’
239
I was happier going back to my roots: training like men do in my hometown of Pittsburgh. Back home the guys in the gyms don’t lift to look good; they’re lifting to lift. They do it because they want to squat more and bench more.
240
I have a rough time wanting to spend billions and billions and trillions of dollars to help people who won’t help themselves, won’t lift a finger, and expect the federal government to do everything.

I’m really excited to be chosen as a VEVO LIFT artist. It’s a great opportunity to reach millions more music fans with my sound and let them see the real Rita.
242
As a listener, we’re looking for that person who kind of excites the molecules within us – who knows how to tell the story that resonates deeply to our core and almost prompts us into action.

243
In WWE, I focused more on Olympic lifting. I had to make sure that I was physically able to lift another human being at all times.

245
I may demonstrate the various stages of making a loaf on stage, but they don’t end up in the final product I lift out of the oven at the end. If it were real food preparation, I’d wear a hair net, a hat, and rubber gloves – not a pretty sight.
246
I lift weights four times a week, usually run five days a week.
247
It’s amazing to me the number of people who will volunteer to help at church but won’t lift a finger to help at home!

249
I’d like to write about whatever is going on with me at that point of time or situations I’m – which I’m sure a lot of people can relate with. I mean, I’m a deep person. I’d like to dig deep into the psyche, but at the same time, you make things that are gonna lift everyone up.
250
I dread to be compared to all these directors who have a lot of spontaneous emoting and swearing in their films – that is death; it’s a cul-de-sac. It doesn’t lift the material at all. It’s just a cliched reproduction of what we think is normal behaviour.
251
The first thing I tell clients is get off the couch! Just start making some small lifestyle changes such as walking to work instead of driving or taking the stairs instead of the lift. The small things you can change all add up.

There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.

254
The Fourth Industrial Revolution can compromise humanity’s traditional sources of meaning – work, community, family, and identity – or it can lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a sense of shared destiny. The choice is ours.
255
If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground.
256

257
I always liked the idea that Thor was the god who’d wake up every day and look at that hammer and not know whether he was going to pick it up. Only the worthy can lift the hammer of Thor, and I love the idea of a god who was always questioning his own worthiness.
258
I think for women especially, you need to have a plan. I need to have some other ways to generate income, so I don’t have to stretch my face or lift the top of my head with surgery or something.
259
There are sections of the film that I don’t love. There are moments that really lift and elevate, and then there are parts that feel clunkier to me.

260
Winning five titles in a year is amazing, and I’m happy I was part of that, and I’m happy that I was able to lift those trophies and carry the Canadian flag with pride. I think that everything that came with 2020 was special to me.

268

269

270

275
I think the amazing thing about gospel music is that not only does it lift up the death and resurrection of our Lord, which is consistent with the Gospel, but it is uniquely communicated depending upon the generation.
276

277
I have my grumpy days. The players will tell you that. But you have to be positive because you have to lift them.
278
You know, when you’ve idolized something, you put it on a shelf, lift it up, and when King Day comes out, you pull it out and show it. Or when Black History Month comes out, you show it, or when April 4th or other times, you show it. But, you see, Dad wouldn’t want us to idolize.
279
I would say a must-do in Canada would be to go skiing at Whistler in Vancouver. You could take a chair lift for, like, a half hour to the top of this mountain, and you ski down; it takes like so long to get to the bottom. You go past the clouds. It’s absolutely incredible.
280
The original purpose of the welfare state was to lift people into self-sufficiency, not to create a permanent underclass dependent on taxpayers.
281

290
I think we have challenges, but we have so many opportunities to get it right. I like it when we have a little bit of a headwind. The kite actually lifts when you have a headwind and doesn’t when there is lift from the back.
291
If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.
292

296
I don’t want to waste anyone’s time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

301
I don’t have to build up strength; I have been blessed with it. I do lift weights and train hard, but I am a very special individual – a very special man with very special talent and very special power. I can get any man – any man – out of there in a matter of seconds. That is the thing I love about myself.
302
I can smell a liar like a fart in a lift!
303
I think a lot of my fans are anxious for more than just my singles. They know I’m a dreamer. They know I’m someone who is real spiritual. I love to have fun, and I always have fun songs – songs you can party to. But I also always have songs you can live to, that when you’re depressed, it may lift your spirits up.
304
I’d been touring for so long, seven years. For a year and a half I’d just been curious about what it was like not to tour. It’s like if you were to lift a 100-pound barbell with your right arm for seven years, eventually you’d get really curious about what your left arm was capable of.
305

347

Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.
370
The wonderful thing about age is that your knees don’t work as well, you can’t run down steps quite as easily and obviously you can’t lift heavy weights. But your mind doesn’t feel any different.

378
On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.

What I’ve realised is that you can run miles, jump on a bike, lift weights, and all that other garbage, but the bottom line is that you get in tennis shape by playing tennis. You build the right muscles, and I don’t believe people can do it as successfully any other way.
389
I try to do something every day. I lift weights at least three to four days per week, and I’ll intersperse that with cardio.

398
My boyfriend’s idea of a lesson was to take me on a black diamond run in the middle of a hail storm and say, ‘Go!’ Ski patrol had to escort me to another lift to get me down the mountain. No, that wasn’t humiliating, not at all.

Being the vice-captain, you see a lot of things on the field. You have to try and help the captain as much as you can and lead by example on the field.
