Strongman Training for SERIOUS Muscle & Strength

Tire flipping isn’t for everyone.

Strongman training isn’t for everyone.

A SOLID foundation MUST be built before you can dive into strongman training.

There are several different techniques for tire flips, and as you’ll see below, we use a sumo stance, drive up at an angle and focus on power cleaning the tire using a knee lift and running THROUGH the tire.

Running through the tire, driving at a 45 degree angle and using a knee lift gets you away from the dangerous curl position.

Check out the beasts digging into some strongman training with tire flipping.

Other benefits of strongman trianing, specifically the tire flip:

- Hand Strength

- Wrist Strength

- Leg Strength

- Back Strength

- Mental Toughness

The benefits of hand, grip and wrist strength are WAY underrated with tire flipping.

Next week we will begin more strongman training and strongman medleys to prepare for our summer strongman contests.

These are super intense and VERY competitive.

How do you use strongman training in your own workout or with clients?

Looking forward to your comments!

Crush it!
