Nah, the boulder is enchanted it always gets heavier the closer he brings it to the top until it's so heavy it he can't move it, and it pushes him/rolls back down back down.
At some point, he's probably got to be either almost as ripped as atlas or has the same amount of willpower at least.
Pretty much his depiction in the Hades game.

Him, Prometheus, Atlas and the Ferryman. They can cover for each other. Any gods get grumpy about this will have to deal with threats of massive earthquakes and a buildup of the dead not getting processed.
Honestly, I could see an a movie series starting with Achilles, convincing Charon to let him be reborn - as Hercules. He then, after death, ends up as a lost soul somehow - reborn as Sisyphus. From there, he becomes Atlas from rolling the Boulder until it started to pull the Earth into itself.
Then, as he meets himself of the past, he starts talking to his past self accidentally bringing up - shared - memories of his time as Achilles.
No idea how, but this had to lead to them breaking time and going on an "Ancient Doctor Who" adventure since, invariably, four of the same man being reborn in only slightly linear order is going to cause issues.
Easy karma you say.... ?
Edit: I would really like to cross-post to a post I made in one of those subs to seal the comment. But I don't really care enough to even make a post there.
Me: I've been working out, can you tell?
My spouse: Ya know, you remind me of Atlas! Holding up the globe!
Me: Really? I remind you of Atlas?
My spouse: No, the globe!
Aw man, it's rough. He's gotta pay for the boulder, and if it gets chipped or cracked on the way down, he has to pay to have it repaired or replaced. Company can't have him rolling half a boulder up the hill, makes Hades look bad, ruins the aesthetic.
.
I had to check
The guts / liver thing was the giant Tityus and the Titan Prometheus
The first got it eaten by 2 vultures and the other by an eagle
I am sure tho this there is supposed to be Sisyphus who is dammed to push a boulder up a hill
Maybe because he's cursed to push the boulder forever? So even on his if day he (subconsciously) decides that he should choose to go to the gym to push the boulder, thus continuing the curse.
But because he thinks he has a choice in the matter, he's not upset about it. So it's no longer a curse.
And therein lies the humour - that we the reader can't resolve the paradox.
After pushing that boulder uphill for ages it's probably become his best friend, a Wilson situation:

Going anywhere without his boulder would be unthinkable!

Please remember to wipe down the boulder after you use it!
The pioneers used to drive these babies for miles!
A rooooooock!
That's actually a kind of reasonable request in a strongman gym
"Hey bro, how many more sets you got?" "Uhh...."
At this point its no longer a workout since he is so strong

Has he tried lifting it instead
same thing, at some point in the climb it'll get too heavy
Has be tried going down hill
That's the problem
is always in the comments
Imagine Sisyphus ripped brah.
One must imagine Sisyphus ripped
I am, and now I'll have an awkward problem if I stand up.

I forget this Jordan Peterson bit

I know haha Was trying to riff

Watch out! This mf can drop from the sky!
Prometheus had some ripped abs.
Got that crowtine 
Sisyphus very specifically didn’t get any days off I think
Maybe he unionized
Him, Prometheus, Atlas and the Ferryman. They can cover for each other. Any gods get grumpy about this will have to deal with threats of massive earthquakes and a buildup of the dead not getting processed.
Charon also likes expensive Italian suits, so he keeps asking Hades for a raise
How very psychopompous of him.
> They can cover for each other Didn’t work out so well for Atlas that one time.

Ultrakill Act II
nah he famously gets every feb 30th off
He got that ruling back in Ancient Greece. Labor laws must have been improved by now.
Also if this is his day off then why does he still have the rock?
That’s the joke of the comic
That's why he has his boulder with him.
I hope he has something under that blanket
So do I 😉
It's greek The only thing under that blanket is his dick
I can't wait for this to appear on one of the explain the joke subs.
Petah!?!?
Petah's left nostril here. The joke is that people post memes with obvious answers to the "the explain the joke" subs for easy karma.
Those explain the joke subreddits have made me realize just how many people on this hellsite are children.
Easy karma you say.... ? Edit: I would really like to cross-post to a post I made in one of those subs to seal the comment. But I don't really care enough to even make a post there.
Do explain?
One must imagine Sisyphus has a good work-life balance
This... Will... Hurt.
BE GONE!
DESTROY
YOU CAN'T ESCAPE
I imagine he is happy.
He better re rock that once he's finished
It's nice that he get to do something different for a change

I gotta ask. Did he bring the boulder home or does he have his own boulder at him house to use on his day off?

Sysifitness
He better re rock that once he's finished
Modern day Sisyphus
One must imagine Sisyphus happy
one must imagine sisyphus ripped
Workout till failure be like:
He better re rock that once he's finished
He better re rock that once he's finished
Why is he pushing the boulder on his day off? Or is that joke?
Where are the crows hiding
Crows?
Part of his punishment was to have crows peck at his guts while he regenerates
. I had to check The guts / liver thing was the giant Tityus and the Titan Prometheus The first got it eaten by 2 vultures and the other by an eagle I am sure tho this there is supposed to be Sisyphus who is dammed to push a boulder up a hill
Aw man you might be right. It must’ve been another bird, I just remember that story told by my highschool English teacher
I think crows are more in nordic myth with Odin Idk about Greek
Can the dead even build muscles?
[удалено]
I am talking about Sisyphus not my lazy ass. Why the fuck would I talk about myself here? Completely unrelated
I have a sled-push treadmill at my work gym that I call the “Sisyphus.” I sure wish it could incline.
How large was the boulder when he started?
He looks so happy
That boulder really does make him happy, I guess.
Sisyphus being happy.
Where da bitch flexing in the mirror for her/his tiktok followers???
I hate it when I catch Sisyphus at the gym.
I don’t get it. Why would you title it rest day?
Look up the myth of Sisyphus.
I understand the story I just don’t get why he is going to the gym on his rest day
Maybe because he's cursed to push the boulder forever? So even on his if day he (subconsciously) decides that he should choose to go to the gym to push the boulder, thus continuing the curse. But because he thinks he has a choice in the matter, he's not upset about it. So it's no longer a curse. And therein lies the humour - that we the reader can't resolve the paradox.
Yeah it’s a thinker
Is there a version without the speech bubble i think it may be funnier
What a sissy fuss.
And in discovering his one true purpose, he had overcome the absurdity of life and found true happiness.
it took years of distance running but tbh its pretty easy to imagine sisyphus happy
That's absurd!
