That's a lift that the construction worker has done probably thousands of times, his body is used to it, he's still really strong but he has an advantage over them. You give the bodybuilders that exercise and time to practice it without building any additional muscle, and they would quickly improve at it

This is it exactly. Their muscles and the work they put in will help them much more easily adapt to new lifts and carries. The muscles arent just for show, but there can always be room for improvements.
