Plot
At the gym, Hoppy lifts weights in an attempt to impress Jazz, who is jogging on a treadmill. Superspeed is also seen lifting a barbel with Trippy by his side. Last but not least, Pow Pow is struggling to lift two small dumbbells, and Hoppy laughs at his weakness. Pow Pow sadly walks out the gym, but then sees Handy parking a forklift.

Pow Pow drives back into the gym with his forklift and easily lifts a whole stack of weights. Jazz is so impressed that she gives him a hug. A jealous Hoppy tries to gain her attention by lifting those weights by hand, only to break his spine in half. Pow Pow drives the forklift out of the gym, accidentally running over Trippy's foot. As he hops around in pain, Superspeed has nobody to support him and gets decapitated by his barbel.

Meanwhile, Pow Pow drives around town lifting other things with his forklift. He suddenly hears a cry for help which soon leads him to Berg, whose lower torso is stuck underneath a boulder. After the boulder is lifted, Berg happily crawls away. Pow Pow hears another distress cry and drives off, accidentally running over Berg.

This time, Pow Pow sees a whale in the middle of the road, and Flash's car is headed straight for it. With no time to spare, Pow Pow quickly lifts the whale. Flash sees it and swerves, crashing into Chompy's taxi. The whale continues to moan, so Pow Pow decides to bring it back to the ocean.

As the forklift is driven closer to the beach, it gets more worn out by the weight it's carrying. Pow Pow eventually reaches his destination, but as he and the whale could get close to the water, the forklift falls apart. Pow Pow sees he has no choice but to push the whale into the sea. So spends the day struggling to do so. Unfortunately, a wave causes the whale to topple over on him. A second bigger wave finally washes up the whale and gets it back into its watery home.

Back at the gym, Handy fails to even lift weights due to his nubs. He heads out to realize his forklift has been stolen.

"Lift with your legs, not your back."
