A tire flip is a full-body strength obstacle that challenges your legs, hips, core, and upper body in one explosive movement. Start with your feet close to the tire, chest over it, and drive through your legs rather than pulling with your back. Keep your spine neutral, push the tire up using hips and legs, then switch hand position to push it over. The key is strong leg drive and good hip extension, not upper-body muscling. To train for it, prioritize heavy squats and deadlifts, hip thrusts for power, sled pushes, and core bracing work — these build the strength and stability needed to lift and control the tire efficiently.
