Tire flipping is great!

How can you integrate tire flipping into your workouts?

Tire flipping is great for the following kind of training:

• Strong men doing strongman training.
• Powerlifters needing extra workouts, or trying to increase their work capacity.
• High intensity interval training (HIIT): 10 flips, rest 60 seconds, repeat.
• Conditioning training in groups, usually moving from station to station.
• Conditioning for martial arts, especially when prepping for a fight.
• Odd object lifting programs such as with sandbags and kettlebells – sandbag core training, training with sandbags.

So what is the best strategy for flipping tires?
Do you deadlift the tire?
Is it more of a push?
How do you use your legs?
How do you position your arms?

I can’t put it any better than Josh puts it in this instructional tire flipping video:

I personally am not too sure if I could even move that thing, never mind flip it.
