it really depends if you have a weight limit to stick to!!
if u dont, then it depends how vain you are to how u eat
training, like Del says, its all lower reps, compound moves. then with dynamic sessions working explosive power (eg power pulls, jumps and stuff (basically plyometric))
if u were going iinto the strongman route, then event sessions are worth every penny, they get you on the equipment and actually doing the work. they are rewarding in a mental and physical sense
for eating, it really is for performance and recovery. so high carb on workout days, massive protein after the workout and fluids (similar to BBing just slightly differant timing)
give it a shot, and see how u react to it.
