Has powerlifting consumed you?

Yep, leading up to the 2 Nationals I did this year it consumed me. Everything I did was based around PLing & it pretty much took me over.
Now I've gone back to strongman which I don't find anywhere near as consuming as powerlifting.

Strongman is probably something that interests me more than powerlifting. Only problem is it seems a bit harder to find information on it here is Aus. What is the participation level like? How do you get into it?

Was getting a bit stale with the PL mate plus there's no more big 3 lift comps on this year & I was missing strongman & feeling like a new challenge.
I think for me PL is so consuming cause it's all about the numbers on the big 3 whereas Strongman is more varied.

Well you have to decide if lifting is worth losing your wife over, or just be normal about it.

ie go to the gym (or train at home) for an hour or two X amount of times a week and be done with it, no point giving it away and sitting around bored hating life.

Spending too much of your life doing any one thing is not healthy, unless of course that is the only thing you want to do, and you don't care about having a social life, wife, family, work etc etc

I strongly agree with this.
