So calories are units of energy. That energy is what creates the motion of weights moving up and down in a lift. If it takes, say, 100 calories to moving 135lbs up and down 12", why is it so much easier to deadlift 1pl8 than to Press 1pl8?

Different muscles and movements. Basic biomechanics man.

your muscles move the weight and smaller muscles due to being smaller cant use the same amount of energy at the same time (this is called power, specifically power of a certain muscle or muscle group)
for example, The Pressing 100 lbs uses smaller muscles in the primary motion, and such those smaller muscles, even if all allotted 100 calories, will have a harder time moving the weight than the larger muscles involved in deadlifting 100 lbs, since the larger muscles can use more of if not all of the 100 calories
100 calories is actually a large amount of energy in terms of moving things with your muscles, so it's pretty much enough to fully saturate any muscle or muscle group full. Thus, it comes down to which muscle groups have more literal muscle to move the weight, since how "energized" they are is constant
t. don't know what im talking about
Different set of muscles used.
Why can't a 150cc motorcycle reach 300 km/h like a 900cc if both use gasoline?

Both use gasoline. What if they both only had 2 liters?

Do you think you should be able to lift the same amount of weight with your toe as with your arms?
