[[File:AtlasAwardLG.gif|frame|Lift with your legs, dude.]]
A strong or [[Super Strength|superstrong]] character picks up an object that is obviously too bulky, if not also too heavy, for him to carry properly. This character holds the object in question between his head and the supporting shoulder. This is at least [[Older Than Steam]], since the earliest atlas had Atlas in the Atlas Pose on the cover holding up the globe. The most famous incidence of this trope probabily the Atlas statue in front of the Rockefeller Center in New York city.
