True. Haftor needs to generate much more force for that.
I’ve studied physics just so much that I know it can be calculated.

Distance lifted times weight divided by time it took, or something like that. 🤷‍♂️🤯

Competitive powerlifters probably choose the style that is strongest for them, they just want the gold medal. There are lots of mechanical explanations if you google on the pros and cons of sumo. I think sumo was slower and heavier off the ground but easier lock out, things like that.

Yes.
What I meant was one could calculate how many joules of energy is needed in those lifts.
As Haftors bar is moving quite a bit longer distance the energy output is propably more than in Coltons lift.

Yes and my point was that it's not at all certain Thor would lift more sumo.
