Tire Flip - training
Tire flip, or flipping a tire, is one of the other strongman disciplines. As far as I am concerned, it is my top discipline, right next to Log Lift.
When I started in Strongman sport, getting a tire was the first task. I immediately got a 400kg monster - an incredible weight for me in the beginning, but... The first time I picked it up, I knocked it over. And it's kind of stayed with me. I've knocked over all the tyres so far .
There's a huge difference between flipping a tractor tire (arrow pattern) and a loader tire. The ones from the loader are a lot heavier, but they hold up and roll over better for it.
Arrows are hell. Mainly, it doesn't matter what you get, but what the race promoter gives you. It's good to learn to work with both types!
And the training itself, that's quite individual. It's not just about whole body strength, but also body dynamics andmobility is important . I know a lot of great strongmen who have worked hard with some tires.
Training:
- Tire flip - 450kg tire
| Series | Repetition |
| 5 - 10 | 2 - 8 |
It's really quite individual, it depends a lot on what one can stand and what one can lift. This is just a sample of my training.
- Tire jumps - explosiveness
| Series | Repetition |
| 5 | 8 - 10 |
Believe me, this is really enough for you. You just need to try it, but it 's not really possible without technique.
