Since they also care about carryon weight, I am not sure shifting things to the carryon solves the problem..
Leave items at home or throw out some junk. Your UA /USA piece system should apply to VA (but not 110% sure)
76lbs = 34.47kg. 32kg is
weight limit for Occupational Health &Safety (and union rules)

No single item may exceed 32kg. See

In Australia is the usual carry on is a lot less than common practice with USA airlines.
Size & weight can be enforced.
