The difference between body builders and power-lifters. The success metrics are totally different.
Body bulders are sculpting their musculature for a posing competition. Then starving and dehydrating themselves to be "cut" on the day of competition, they are at their physically weakest point.
Power-lifters are competing to see who can generate the most explosive force by mass times acceleration in any single event. Their goal is to be at their absolute strongest when they compete.
Strong man competitors also must generate force, often for repetitions against time, but also add in factors such as balance and endurance into the mix.
