1) I don't believe so. As far as I know it is a farmers walk, tire flip, car dead, and a tow truck pull where you pull on a rope.
I tried to search for it and this came up from
T-nation. I know the guy that posted it. There are a few pictures there you can check out.
2)Based on the pictures and reading what the poster at T-nation put I am going to say no. Also I actually don't deadlift in a suit, it henders me more than it helps. I know one rule on the car dead was that the tires had to stop moving before you could go again so that PLers that entered couldnt do the 'controlled drop' that we're taught.

The rest of the events are best trained with implements, otherwise, just carry some heavy objects in your hands and get used to it. If your conditioning sucks, maybe some car pushing would be useful.

Conditioning would definately be the thing I would struggle with. I am assuming the rows are to simulate the tow truck pull or is that for something else?
Thanks for the advice guys.
Also, I was curious as to how much do the tires usually weigh that they use? I think I heard 600 but I am just checking. If you check the link I posted above they have a picture of the tire they are using.
