Tire Flipping

[AdministratorChris]

Im guilty of trying to do the dead lift motion while doing tire flips.

i love tire flips

[rockstr56]

I do it two ways. I do it where my back is doing most of the work, then ill drive it with my legs. Its a very good workout when combined with log splitting lol

[crazzywolf37]

Unfortunatly I have far more lower back strength and hand strength then I do leg strength I got a 600 pound and I flip it all day when I started doing it your way it really started working out my legs more thanks

Nice money bro! check my page i just made a new video!!!

Alright, i just brought home my tire, its only about 500lbs. After flipping it five or six times my forearms are really sore. Is that normal or am i doing something wrong?

[rockstr56]

@spicyfuckinmchaggis its called work.

[spicyfuckinmchaggis]

@rockstr56 I am familiar with this concept of "work". I have lifted more weight then most men my age, being a former powerlifter and a current highland games athalet. I am also familiar with injury and if my sore arms are a sign of incorrect technique then it would be nice to know. I have no need for smart ass comments. Thank you.

[rockstr56]

@spicyfuckinmchaggis Im sorry man lol. Its just taxing your forearms and causing lactic acid to build up which is a by product of the ATP-PT procces. I was just making a joke but it was dry and i apologize

[spicyfuckinmchaggis]

@rockstr56 My bad dude, i over-reacted. Kinda had some stuff goin on earlier. I have done a bit of research since my original comment was posted and i found out that the tread on the tire that i use is too deep, therefore it was putting alot of force on my inner arm.

[rockstr56]

@spicyfuckinmchaggis is it damaging your arm, or is it just working it hard?

[spicyfuckinmchaggis]

@rockstr56 Was damaging, i have gotten a new tire with shallower treads so i can get my hands around the edge of the tire. The new tire is 650lbs but i can lift it easier using better technique.

[rockstr56]

@spicyfuckinmchaggis I would of thought that it would have worked your forearm muscles so they can grip the tire

how much does this tire weight?

[FatKidWanaBStrongman]

Great video, has helped me to flip my tires better!

[rgmcall]

do i keep my arms inside my legs or outside my legs?

[josefb20017]

Great video Josh. Very informative and helpful.

I just found my first tire on the side of the road! Called my neighbour to help me get it into the back of my truck. I did exactly what you said. I tried to dead lift it. I tried your way and wow what a difference! Thanks for the tip!

[Barcepepa]

Great video. I tried it for the first time a few days ago and I felt it!! I will use this technique next time. Thanks for posting this video!

Just did it for the first time to switch things up a bit and it is a very good piece to a routine...true dinosaur strength development. I posted the video as well of my first Tire flip(s)

[manofsteelwool]

Good tips. 'Preciate it!

[fatoldmanworkout]

Thanks for the tips man!

[jmart805]

How heavy is that tire? and is the knee kick really a better technique? especially for beginners or should I push with both feet instead?

[wulfyson]

Tire flipping and a sledgehammer. Now that sounds like a great workout!
