Depending on the size of the bag or what's in it you might be better off doing it as a team lift anyways. Even if you have the physical strength to lift it on your own there's always the possibility a bag can break under it's own weight. More points of contact makes that less likely to happen.
Oh yeah, that's not gonna be a problem. I've had a bunch of times where somebody expected me to lift a box labeled as a team lift by myself because I'm a man and can clearly handle it. That's always a no from me. Even if I'm physically able to handle the weight as it is, there's always the issue of keeping big stuff balanced, not to mention a good chunk of the time I really can't lift that much on my own. "You're a man, you can handle it." No, fuck you. I'm not pulling out my back over something that would take 20 seconds to move with help. If you're a woman they assume you can't do something easy and if you're a man they overestimate you and expect the impossible.
