Cool dude, speaking comfortingly to his gloomily-slumped weight-lifting buddy who is feeling inadequate and guilty for "running out of steam" sooner than he thought he should while working out at the gym: "Don't knock yourself around too hard, Pal --- even da great 'Ahhnold' would get metal fatigue from bench-pressing for too long at a time."

An overused management phrase often used in team meetings as a motivational or performance booster which often leaves those present thinking 'what the hell does that even mean?' and 'Is he just making up his own quotes now?'. A generic phrase with no historical provenance. Frequently used in team meetings before or after recent poor performance or acts of sheer incompetence this generic term is a camouflaged attempt to get certain staff to improve and perform better. However they are deaf to the suggestion it is aimed at them and such use often 'goes straight over their heads'.
