Tire Flip Exercise
Builds strength and control by improving stability, coordination, and efficient movement.
Description
Tire flip focuses on controlled movement and maintaining proper body alignment throughout the exercise. The goal is to create tension where needed while avoiding unnecessary strain or momentum. This helps improve movement quality, joint stability, and overall physical control.
Instructions:
- Begin by gripping the bottom of the tire on the tread, and position your feet back a bit. Your chest should be driving into the tire.
- To lift the tire, extend through the hips, knees, and ankles, driving into the tire and up.
- As the tire reaches a 45 degree angle, step forward and drive a knee into the tire. As you do so adjust your grip to the upper portion of the tire and push it forward as hard as possible to complete the turn. Repeat as necessary.
Exercise FAQ
What’s the safest way to progress over time?
Add a small amount of reps first, then load. If technique slips, step back and rebuild with cleaner reps. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
How should I program this in a workout?
Use it after your warm-up when you’re fresh. Aim for 2–4 sets and choose a rep range that matches your goal (strength: lower reps; muscle: moderate reps). Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
What’s a common mistake people make here?
Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it.
