    Lifter B is stronger. He can lift 200kg where Lifter A cannot. Relativity only matters in golf and astrophysics.

    It's obvious that Lifter B is stronger.

    Better question is: so what?

    Ants can lift many times their own bodyweight. Some reports are 50 x bodyweight. I have NEVER viewed them as strong given they are small and I can squash one between my two fingers.

    I understand the premise but view this as total weight kinda thing
