Super neat to watch. The final value surprised me. I won't spoil it.

If there are bending forces on the object, the middle of the structure basically doesn't add any strength. If it's in tension or compression, it does.

For this challenge, with the 50g weight limit that has bending forces, a hollow object is always stronger. If he filled in the middle, it would add more weight for very little additional strength.
