九牛二虎之力
jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì
the strength of nine bulls and two tigers -- tremendous effort

For example:
我花了九牛二虎之力把门斜倚在肮脏的外墙上再俯身拿起垃圾袋的时候,这门突然呯的关上了,吓得我凭空跳起6英尺。
wǒ huā le jiǔ niú èr hǔ zhī lì bǎ mén xié yǐ zài ānɡ zɑnɡ de wài qiánɡ shànɡ zài fǔ shēn ná qǐ lā jī dài de shí hou zhè mén tū rán pínɡ de ɡuān shànɡ le xià dé wǒ pínɡ kōnɡ tiào qǐ  yīnɡ chǐ

After I finally get the door to lean against the grimy brick exterior and lean over to pick up the bag, the door slams shut, making me jump about 6 feet in the air.
