Flipping out isn’t always a bad thing.
Let’s be real though – usually it isn’t pretty.
When I saw strongWOMAN Tara post about tire flipping, I immediately texted my trainer and asked if we could incorporate that into our session that night. I have no idea why I do these things to myself.
I didn’t realize how heavy tires were! I did the first two lengths of the gym with a 225 lb tire. Just when I was patting myself on the back, he decided we needed to up the weight. The next 2 lengths were done with a 265 lb tire. That’s when the real hell fun began.
This is the last bit:
For some reason he refused to bring me a beer after that… then made me do more legs! How rude!

I knew my butt would be sore, but my forearms are also STIFF after that flippin’ tire.
Have you ever flipped a tire? Would you willingly do so?
Do you yell or grunt when you’re lifting something especially heavy? I can’t help it!
First of all, that made me grunt just watching it! And I love how these me are just sitting there watching you (well, 2 of them are 🙂 ). You totally earned a beer!
Right?! They should have been helping me!
That is NOT pancake flipping. That’s for sure.
Night = made.
I love DW so I am soo excited right now!! Weeee!
And no I haven’t ever flipped a tire. Or have I…? No I don’t think so. Intense!
Maybe you’ll flip one after all that DW protein. 😉
Yay! I love the video! I need to film more of my training but we’re usually using our phones to time.
The tyre is definitely too light for you. You’re barely using your legs at all You want to pick a tyre you can flip for 2, maybe 3, reps but with a lot of struggle. I think about 350lbs, if your gym has something around that weight. The lightest tyre at my gym is 285lbs, but the next one up is 550lbs. Pretty annoying because it’s either way too easy or completely draining to get one rep out! And it sucks because they haven’t announced the weight of the tyre at my comp yet, so I don’t know what to train for.
Next up you’ve gotta try some log pressing, and then you can sign up for strongwoman 😉
I texted my trainer to tell him he needs bigger tires. 😉
I’ll strongwomen if you come here and train me. Bwhahaha!
I never even realised how intense tyre exercising is – that is crazy! But you can do anything 😀
Cheers
CCU
you’re a BEAST! and that’s awesome there is a tire at your gym. pretty sure no one would know what to do with it at mine haha
You are awesome! Something about tire flips seems so fun to me 😉
It seemed fun to me too! Until maybe the last set… 😉
YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! I so want to flip a tore but not that I heavy! I am using my age for this one! 😉 AMAZING!!!!!
Thx for the shout out on my discount code for Designer Whey!!! I may grunt every once in while & not always when I am lifting! 😉
Ha! Jody, you need a heavier tire.
That looks so intense! I’d definitely give tire flipping a shot, if my gym offered it.
I am quite positive that I could not flip a tire. You’re bad-ass and your trainer totally should have given you a beer!
I don’t think you should try in your delicate state. 😉
I’ve never even thought about attempting to flip the tire at the gym. Maybe banging the crap out of it with the sledge hammer for fun 😉 When I worked out at the gym, I tried not to grunt, but at home – all bets are off!
I want to do that too! I’m told no hitting yet. Lame.
wahoo!!! get it girl!! we still want to try flipping tires, maybe one day!
You guys need to come up to ATL and I’ll take you to my gym!!
Dude, you are a monster!!! Frekkin awesome 🙂
I bet you felt like a total badass. Heck, I would! Of course, I’m with ya on the beer though. Badasses deserve beers.
How much long til you get beer? Being a mom is bad ass – you deserve one!
You, my friend, are awesome. That is all.
I’ve never flipped a tire. Heck, I’ve never even changed a tire. Ha!
You’ve never changed a tire? My dad made me learn before I could get my license. Not that I wouldn’t just call the assist people…
Haha how rude indeed- you deserve a beer! 😉
That sounds tough! Really tough! I’m not really good at pushing myself with weights. I get to a point where it seems hard and think I have made it far enough.
That’s where it’s awesome to have a buddy or work with a trainer periodically. You don’t necessarily need to pay someone every week, but when you get in a rut a session or two can be a big help!
Boo. It’s stupid when I don’t win.
cant wait to do it again!!! Love flipping tires…Steve told me that now I know I can hide a body 😉 lol or at least carry my husband if I need to!
You better wait a little longer before hiding anymore bodies. 😉
Every time I think you can’t get any more badass, you go and do something like this. This is awesome.
You’re a rock star! I don’t think I could flip a tire and certainly not one that heavy. I wouldn’t let that stop me from trying though. 😉
I bet you’d surprise yourself!
Badass Babe!! Yeah! You need more audience!
You coming for a viist? 😉
Ummm… you’re hardcore! That video is so cool! It totally makes sense your forearms are sore, too. Isn’t is crazy how when we do really different things we find out we have muscles we didn’t know we could make sore?! Kinda awesome 🙂
Dang was crossing my fingers for this giveaway! Oh well!
Don’t be ashamed Laura. I would call myself a quiet grunter at the gym. I don’t mean to, but sometimes it slips out!!!
Do you read itzlinz.com? She’s hosting the same giveaway today!
HA! I love how we love to add more pain to our workouts. I think it is just our competitive side that comes out and I think deep down we really like to be tortured (in a good way of course). I’ve never flipped a tire, but would definitely be up for it. You ROCK woman! And thank you for all your carrot recipes…I’m slightly obsessed.
You’re so right. And I think I got faster on that last set because I knew he was videoing it. #gymproblems
I love seeing what you’re up to with all those carrots! They’re my favorite veggie. Check out this recipe too: https://www.sprint2thetable.com/2012/02/super-foods-miso-carrot-soup/
Congrats to Kamila! And you look like a beast in that video. I’ve never flipped a tire in my life 🙂 Haha.
Thank you so much! You should try it – it was actually fun!
Oh my goodness- that was intense! I’ve never done tire flipping but it sounds fun (and SO hard!) I love that you melted into the tire afterward- so cute : D
xx Kait
Wait. I needed YOU to bring me a drink! 😉
I’m just catching up and finally got to see this video – go girl!! By the way, your butt really is looking GOOD. And yes, I did check out your butt, I know you’re working hard on it. 🙂 That’s a true friend, right? 😉
You are a good friend, thank you!!! 😉
You are also totally ingrained – checking out butts and all.
I used to love it when we’d flip tires at my old crossfit gym! And yeah, I’m a bit of a grunter too…I swear it helps you lift heavier when there’s sounds effects! 😉
The tire flipping looks kinda fun (and hey, you asked for it)l, but how do you do it without hurting your back? Grunting– lifting the most I can, most definitely so (but heavy lifting is something I haven’t done in a long time).
It is fun! The trick is to lift with your legs and not your back. Put some booty in it! 😉
Yes, of course you were using your legs, it’s just that your back looked rounded and that scared me.
You are a beast my friend! Now I want to go flip a tire!
Come on down here and I’ll help you find one to flip! 😉
