[Richie B]

Lifting with all back, not legs. Be cautious.

Get your ass down! You keep rounding your back like that, its going to lead to disaster..........

I would ballpark it about this. I have never weighed those type tires but have used them and they do not come to anywhere near 400 pounds.

Still I have used them before and that is impressive cardio work, good job!

His form is fine, you don't have to get down in some ridiculous position like a safety training video for a plant job or McDonalds.

I'd suggest going wider so you don't risk a bicep tear.

I would be more concerned with tearing a bicep. You don't want to lift straight up when working with tires, you want your arms to the side and pushing through as you bring it up.

Watch on youtube elitefts.com How to Flip a Tire, and it will show you great form for when you get into a heavier/bigger tire.

This is the video I was just thinking about I had watched sometime ago.

Kudos to the OP. Tire flipping is fun and they are great tools that you can get for free. Also great for sledgehammer work. I need to weigh mine to see how heavy it is.

I also wonder what the actual % of weight you have off the ground at any time is as well. Obviously you're not cleaning and have nothing left touching the ground.

My guess is somewhere between half and 2/3rds. It's harder than dead lifting comparable loads, because it's so low.

You do know that tires roll right

 

[mubanker99]

These tires are at the gym. We have 3 of these big guys and one smaller thicker one that's 250 lbs. I flip the smaller one 80 times, and this big one only 30 times. It's a good overall workout! I'll have to work on that ATG and wider stance and grip tonight.

Exactly!!!

Playing in Taos next weekend?

 

[blov10]

So that tire is supposed to weigh 400 lbs?

Lift with your back not your legs.

Did 600lb flips x52 for a burnout. Worst day of my life. Our tire was wider and shorter than this so the weight wasn't so bad. The tall tires are the rough
