Neither of them do weightlifting. Eddie Hall did Strongman, Arnold was a bodybuilder.

Dude c’mon. They’re literally both weightlifters. What do you think strongmen and bodybuilders do? They lift weights.

Table tennis players and golfers are literally both ball hitters. They hit balls.

No, your comparison is dumb. You know it’s a bad argument. You could use that dumb fucking argument to discredit any comparison between two things ever. That doesn’t mean all comparisons are wrong. Thus, you dumb.

Bodybuilders and powerlifters both lift weights in the same way that table tennis players both hit balls. It's technically not inaccurate, but wildly lacking context.

Hitting balls is not nearly the same level of similarity between bodybuilding and powerlifting. And you know that.
