I mean, saying one is for "actual strength" and the other is for looks *is* most definitely shitting on people better than them.
"Body builders" are generally extremely strong. Schwarzenegger could bench 500lbs+ and could deadlift over 700lbs. That is, by every definitely, *actual* strength. Incredible strength. I mean, the whole regiment of becoming a body builder is moving enormous amounts of weight.
And if these lifters spent a week lifting cement bags, they'd be far more competent at it. Every lift requires a form and the appropriately conditioned stabilizer muscles to know basically what to do, and the guy doing it every day has those, and much stronger people who don't, don't.
