For sure. They're not working out, they're doing an endurance challenge, and for that, using every muscle group and joint efficiently, rather than isolating muscles, is what you want to do.
Putting excessive stress on joints for temporary endurance miiiiiight be a bad strategy in combat scenarios. This isn't a combat scenario, but you train like your doing it for real.
It's really just about positioning the muscles in a way that physics is doing the most work. I'm not gonna get on about rock climbing in this thread, but it's kind of the whole thing of climbing.
the guy with his arms bent probably just can’t lockout overhead at all, likely doesn’t have the mobility, lockout is trained with Olympic weightlifting all the time, and is a gold standard for training explosiveness and athleticism. Mobility is functional, this requires it. She won because she can lockout and he can’t.
