Super strong characters always grunt before performing their strength feats.
Hell, Namor grunted before picking an I-beam... and we all know he's far stronger than that.
Makes sense he somewhat exerted himself, since he appears to have broken the machine in the last panel, as Galan noted.
If a fairly built nerd picks up a cell phone, he probably won't even think twice about it. He can do it with basically little to no effort.
If he picks up a 30lb dumbbell and grunts slightly(nn), did he strain? A little maybe... Was it difficult for him, probably not and could probably lift a lot more based on his frame?
You can use a dozen other words or phrases to replace strain. *shrug*
I don't think carv is seeing the bigger picture here.
Superman was exerting 200 quintillion tons of force initially with NO visible effort whatsoever:
It was only when he exerted significantly MORE THAN 200 quintillion tons of force, and overpowered/broke the machine itself, that he grunted ever-so-slightly:
Nothing about the scene indicates that it was 'difficult' for Superman at all, though... He did it with one arm, ffs.

Carver will drive all of us insane sooner or later.
HQ scans and in-depth analysis of each panel is not going to save you from him, Galan.
We must join him or perish 🙁

Last panel "Nn". This tells me that him lifting this isn't done as easily as Broly mentioned it.
The original words:

He's doing it one-handed without much effort, the combined strength of both arms and he could do triple or quadruple this tonnage.
No one is saying he did it with a mere flick of his pinky finger.
Everything BrolyTime said is true.

Like I said semantics.Without much effort.
Very little effort.
With little effort.
Effortlessly.
Little to no effort.
With some effort.
With a bit of effort.
Not a lot of effort.
Almost no effort.
Nearly without effort.
Good list.
None of that list includes the word 'straining'.
Not to mention, the effort, minimal or otherwise, only came when he utterly destroyed the machine. NOT when lifting the initial 200 quintillion tons.
