Always done some lifting, especially in the '90s when I was heavily into tae kwon do. Got into powerlifting primarily in 2010 through a friend when I realized I had aged and needed to get back on track physically.

Can do it at home. Can do it alone. Can fit it into my crazy schedule.
Can go to the gym. Can socialize with other people of like mind there and make friends. Get be motivated by them.
Gives me time to focus and center. Makes me feel good physically and mentally.
