If it takes your an hour to wear me down, you're weak. No matter how inexhaustible your power is.

Look at his arm. Unless all the videos of that guy are fake (even during a time where making a convincing video fakes was really hard). That arm is not going down even if he wanted.

Lower strength, but far more endurance.

Does gravity do work or is it just reactive? If it doesn't do work, doesn't it match endurance exactly to you?
