Lol, he still had to over power him. No matter how you try to twist this showing, he physically overpowered Superman during that showing.
Lol..look at the position they are in, in your scan. That's all Superman had to do was snatch his hand away from Adam and punch him are you proud of that showing?
Anexternally influencd and angrier than normal holding back Superman matched a high end above top tier portrayal of Black Adam who played on his honor to avoid an all out level punch.
You have to be either just as strong or stronger to throw someone off of you like that. I can not see Colossus replicating that showing, can you? It was a test of strength.
Adam ended the fight because Superman was being manipulated, not because Superman could've defeated him. Remember, Superman was the one that admitted he couldnt move Adam out of the city, it wasnt the other way around. Then we have Adam just standing there allowing Superman to heat vision him...
Lol... he even SIGHS and stands there and basically ask Superman to get his heat vision out of the way. Just get it over with. Lol... he was toying with Superman... the same Superman who admits he cant move Adam out of the city.
He then tells Superman after this that he regret what come to pass with this... its freaking hilarious because if anyone was holding back TREMENDOUSLY, it was Adam and Superman still couldnt move him while at the same time admitting fighting against Adam, he doesnt have to pull his punches.
You said they 'grappled strength to strength, which is wrong. Black Adam grabbed Superman's wrists and yanked him away. That doesn't require superior strength, and you have no idea what you're talking about. Have you ever grappled with somebody?
An actual push-to-push strength contest is what I showed you.
At no point Black Adam showed physical superiority. Superman showed it once, and Black Adam took a risk in Superman not hitting a non-fighting opponent.

So he was going all out at the "end" of the fight? In the middle and the beginning, he was holding back. Even though he said that he always worry about breaking people bones when fighting them but not having to worry about that when fighting Adam. Even though he said he cant move Adam out of the heart of the city, he was still holding back? What sense does that make? Why even bring up these things if you are holding back? Excuses. All I am reading are excuses. The only time Superman fans say Superman is going all out is when he is either winning or dominating a fight. If things are at a split, he is always holding back.
If anyone was holding back, it was Adam and Superman being incapable of moving Adam out of the city and getting tossed shows a strength advantage. Especially when your opponent is holding back and is trying to reason with you while you're on a rampaging punch and heat vision fest.
So Colossus can grab Superman wrist and toss him against his will?
Lol...Superman during the beginning of the fight already said he was tricked off, while blitz punching Adam in the chest. An Adam who wasnt even looking at him.
I guess Superman is the exceptional. When he is pissed off, he doesnt try to drop his opponent (sigh).
This is crazy. Here we have Superman blitzing Adam admitting he is trying to push him out of the city and he fails at budging him...
I honestly dont know how much evidence you need tbh. Adam words are an indication of him holding back and his action... hell, the way he was fighting as well.
You really like playing games, don't you, Carver? You stated, "You have to be either just as strong or stronger to throw someone off of you like that." And I showed you that your statement was wrong. Nothing more, nothing less.

Carver, I really hope you are only playing dumb. I really do. You don't need to know martial arts to do something like that. It's called leverage. It's catching someone off guard. it's using your opponents weight and momentum against himself. I see it demonstrated in comics all the time. Remember when Ironman flipped Namor at Puget Sound when he was about to rip off his face plate? Guess what?
