I was on the phone today with my good friend who was telling me about a kid we both know who recently finished his high school wrestling career undefeated. There was a photo of him on the sports section of the paper and everyone was talking about how "jacked up" he was.
My buddy told me he had a tire in his back yard for the past 4 years, a tractor tire that is. The kid kept on using the tire and flipping it without counting sets or reps, just old fashioned hard work.
When I first met this kid, he was in 3rd grade and he LOVED Gymnastics, calisthenics and all sports.
In 8th grade I still remember him doing 26 strict pull ups and military pressing a 70 lb Russian Kettlebell with ease. It was scarey to see such strength from a young kid but his foundation in calisthenics and always using his body sure as heck didn't hurt.
You can't blame the tractor tires for hurting those "jacked up" legs either
If you need a tire, just search for a tire yard or a farm. If you REALLY want a tractor tire, you'll find a way.

Those good ol' tractor tires, gotta love em'!
