Default strongman

so, today i was at my college gym doing heavy singles on deadlift and a guy came up to me and told me that he was the president of our school's weightlifting club and that they are going to have a strongman competition in early march. after talking to him for a little while i decided that it sounded like fun and he convinced me to give it a try. the problem is that i have been training with a powerlifting style for about a year (my goal is just to increase my squat, bench, and deadlift and i rarely if ever go above 3 reps on the big three). i have no idea what kind of training i should do for a strongman contest. i have watched some world's strongest man on tv and i know that to compete i'm going to have to do more than just heavy singles. i was wondering if anyone here has any experience doing strongman. i know that a month and a half isn't very long to get ready, but i was looking for a program or any general advice that might help me out when i compete. thanks in advance for any advice that you can give me.
