"Elbow grease" refers specifically to sweat, but is used as a general reference to the physical effort required to create that sweat.

Re: elbow grease?

As far as I know, "elbow grease" is an American term used to explain effort and determination.

According to dictionary.com:
elbow grease

Strenuous physical effort, as in You'll have to use some elbow grease to get the house painted in time. This term alludes to vigorous use of one's arm in cleaning, polishing, or the like. It soon was extended to any kind of hard work, and Anthony Trollope used it still more figuratively (Thackeray, 1874): "Forethought is the elbow-grease which a novelist ... requires." [First half of 1600s]

Re: elbow grease?

I usually keep my elbow grease stored in jar, preferably in a cool place, like a refrigerator. Sometimes I find that my jar of elbow grease won't do the trick. In those cases, I usually open a can of whoop-ass to get the job done right.
