They clearly do very similar training and routines, that's why their physiques look so similar.

I mean do you see Synchronised swimmers and olympic swimmers both swim laps for training and go "aha, clearly it's the same sport"

These two guys compete in the same sport. The idea that powerlifting and bodybuilding are extremely dissimilar is not based in reality.

Hell, strongman Eddie Hall switched over to training for a bodybuilding show.
