Going from equipped powerlifting to Strongman

If you were a strong equipped powerlifter, would you still have the strength base needed for Strongman as you would if you were a raw lifter?
Let’s say you had huge numbers as an equipped lifted (perhaps even a 1000 pound bench), but you did very little raw training (let’s assume you never went heavier than 405 on bench in this example).
I hope this question makes some sense, I will clear up and clarify on anything as needed

If you are a strong powerlifter, you will do fine with strongman. Strongman is not as scary as it looks. You also won’t be moving that kind of weight. I find strongman to not be as taxing as powerlifting.

Also, who the frick has a 1000 pound bench?

You still have to have an extremely good base to do equipped.
I would say the hurdle would be endurance.

WHat would you say makes powerlifting most taxing overall?

I just find if wears me down faster than strongman. Can’t really give you a solid answer why.

I do think you need to have good conditioning for strongman. A lot of the events are for a duration and endurance. Like farmer carry, yoke walks, car deadlift, etc.
