Is Feynman Lectures enough for IPhO?

Feynman Lectures are so good that even Physicists refer to this book and learn something new. It is very important to remember that Physics is 50\% Understanding 50\% Practice. The books I have mentioned take very good care of the Understanding department. For practice, you can refer to any good JEE prep book.
