Muscle memory plays a part in physical skills as much as brain memory, and there does not seem to be much evidence of medium independence for intelligence, so the physical structure of the brains seems to be important. The idea that we can transfer skills is probably cinematic at best and fantastic at worst, but it is RAW. The idea that IQ, Per, and Will are transferable is likewise cinematic at best and fantastic at worst, but it is RAW. When it comes to transferring Lifting, the effects are probably no more unrealistic than transferring Jumping or Wrestling.
