I’ve been doing Crossfit for about 7 weeks now, and today, I flipped tractor tires for the very first time. I’m not exactly sure how heavy those tires were, but it felt like the heaviest thing I’ve ever lifted in my life. Without getting injured.
This strength conditioning thing is all very new to me. I mean, sure, I’ve bought some 3 lb weights and done a bajillion kickbacks most of my adult life. But 300 lb tire flips are something else, and I did it 7 weeks after I showed up at a foundation class.
I’ve seen those tires on the side of the wall before. Propped up on its sides, they looked hella scary. I thought I would be introduced to it, months down the road. Well, it happened today. After trying to hold a handstand for 3 rounds of 20 seconds.
It took me several tries to be able to get the first flip. There were 4 tires of varying weight.
I wasn’t really that switched on today, so I read the workout wrong. I thought it was 10 total flips, so I did 11 of them.
Nonetheless, for my very first time flipping tractor tires, I’m happy with what I’ve done.
