Man who trains grip strength through his labour work VS bodybuilders who don't train grip at all beyond indirect work and rely on lifting straps frequently to sidestep the bottleneck, that's the actual answer here, you can't lift what you can't keep ahold of without slippage, any strength coach whether it's olympic lifting or MMA fighters will tell you, training specificity matters in strength.
