To carry the weight of the responsibility
I carry the weight of the responsibility on my shoulders
I read today (paraphrasing) sobre mis espaldas recae el grueso de la responsibilidad. Is this the common usage, or is the writer using his personal licence in the choice of el grueso and recaer? As a non-native I would never think of using grueso in this case.
