Yeah, carry that beam. The man at one end must be stronger cuz he's lifting twice as much.

I love these incoherent questioners who cannot read and write.
Assume the distance between the men is "a" which is assumed to be L/2.
Assume the beam weight w lbs/linear ft
the end men will have to support 3/8*w*a
the middle guy must support 10/8*w*a
the total load is 16/8*w*a = 2wa = 2w(L/2) = wL

One at the other end and one in the middle

Yes?
The one guy at one end is working harder.
BTW: a statement followed by a question mark is NOT a question.

You've only given us part of the question here. It sounds like a moments question.
