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?
 
Why did you go back to SM Dave?

Why do you find it not as consuming?

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.
