Since I don't really follow the sport can you clarify? Is powerlifting regular gym lifts and strongman is carrying barrels and stones and shit?

Damn. So to be a strongman you just have to be REALLY strong and lift crazy stuff. Must be hard to train for with that many events. Or do they only do a couple?
