Tire Flip

How to do it

  1. Approach a large tire and squat down to grip the underside with both hands, keeping the chest up and back flat.
  2. Brace the core and drive through the legs and hips to lift the tire off the ground.
  3. Push forward and upward through the tire once it reaches thigh height, extending the hips fully.
  4. Step in and drive through the shoulders and chest to flip the tire completely onto its opposite side.
  5. Exhale forcefully during the lift and flip, avoiding rounding the lower back during the initial pull.
  6. Reset the stance behind the tire and repeat the lift and flip for the prescribed number of reps.
