Zach,
Hope all is well. Looks like you have been quite busy. Would love to join in the fun on the 21st but I can’t find the registration link. Link is straight to L&L website, tried searching for event but found nothing. Please let me know how to pre- register when you.
All the best,
Annette
Hey Annette 🙂
Reg is at the door, 9:30 AM
Psyched to see you!!!! Definitely invite your friends and peeps at the gym you’re at!!!
It’s doable for everyone!
Good Luck with your event! I saw your video on the tire flip. Very nice! I love the tire flip and use it at the end of my routine. 600# with 45# sled pull-hook the harness up and pull as I flip.
The flip has been something I have done for years and for a while was the only strongman lift I could practice since I didn’t have anything else to train with.
Performing sets of 6 reps with 600#, 4 reps with 800# then ending with 2 reps with my 1000# I would perform 3 sets with that work load.
My advice to beginners do everything you said in the video. Think, “EXPLODE”! You want to not worry about the push but hit the lift with one explosive lift. That is why, like you said hit some Olympic or explosive lifts first. Training outside I like to take my 200# stone and clean/press it. If at the gym I will alternate between the stone and Olympic lifts. Especially the snatch. Great lift for the tire. Many focus on the clean, but if you work the snatch you can flip a tire without a pause.
The knee kick should be your kicking leg. You have already developed the ability to balance and transfer weight while kicking a ball. A tire is the same. The kick is just to maintain momentum while transitioning to the push.
Good luck and always remember Tire Stones Steel make monsters!
DW, would love a guest blog from you with video!!! Show the gym and show some training tips!
Will hopefully make this
For a good cause I will definitely give this a try.
Karen I hope to see You!!!!
