Is this an expression, se fuerza la máquina ?

I saw it translated in a movie as "you strain yourself" which doesn't make sense to me?

Forzar la máquina: put strain on your body, to make an effort

And yes, good sentence for the phrasebook, quesitowink

I've never heard this as an idiom in Mexico, but it makes sense. Is this common in Spain? - 005faa61, ABR 26, 2010

I don't know if this have something to do with your question, but there is a nice song called "Se fuerza la máquina".
