The tire flip is one of the most sought-after exercises by bodybuilders because it effectively builds up muscle mass and increases endurance as you work with the tire. This routine requires more energy exertion and power than most other exercises on our list.
To perform the tire flip, place your feet a bit wider than the width of your hips and position yourself 12 inches away from the tire. Squat low until you reach the bottom of the tire, and press the shoulders and chest against the sidewall of the tire. Bend the elbows as if ready to lift the tire, and keep the shoulders and chest pressed onto the tire. Move one foot forward, and kick the tire with the knee to flip it. The explosive blow from your knee lifts the tire.
The tire flip is usually part of the training for those who are advanced bodybuilders, wrestlers and athletes. This exercise is often mistaken for a deadlift using only tires, but it is more akin to squatting and kicking exercises. The tires are incredibly heavy making them suitable for building muscular endurance and to tone the body.
You should always take proper precaution with executing the tire flip and avoid lifting the tire with the arms because it can cause injury. The tire is not meant to be elevated through the use of the arms, only with the force of the knees.
The muscles in your abdomen, legs, back and shoulders will all be targeted during the tire flip. Your biceps and triceps are also affected.
When you squat down and reach for the bottom of the tires, you are stretching your shoulder muscles, back muscles, biceps and triceps. And as you kick the tire with your knee, you are toning your abdomen and legs, making them h3er.
If you are a beginner to the tire flip exercise, start by completing two to three repetitions or do the exercise for ten minutes. If you are an advanced bodybuilder then five to six repetitions, or until you finish 15 minutes, provides a good challenge. Avoid overdoing this exercise because it can cause strain in your legs and arms.
