EXERCISE OF THE WEEK: Truck Tire Flips

With the acquisition of a new lighter 360# tire for our guys and gals, I should post some educational videos. Keep in mind the largest of the three tires still tips the scales at 505#. The ambulance tire is only ~150# and is a great depth gauge for air squats and wall balls.

What exercises pair up nicely with flipping? Any trunk flexion movement: situps, HK2E, sledge hammer strikes, chopping wood. Battling ropes/firehose. Wallballs. Overhead presses. Pushups. Ring Dips.

What to avoid during a flipping workout? Deadlifts. Lunges. Power Cleans. Snatches. Front Squats.

Flip away. Everyone is doing it!
