Using the tyre for conditioning is a great idea. By a sheer coincidence, I was speaking to a wrestling coach the other day and he told me about someone he used to coach back in Russia who used to do the exact same exercises for strength and conditioning. He was in the 95kg class and used a tyre that was weighted to 95kg (obviously he worked up to that) and did nothing but tyre swings, throws, chopping into trees, never walked into a gym yet was like a rock. Unfortunately I cant remember the wrestlers name.

Brilliant stuff Joe

Fantastic article, I love this kind of simplistic training which is also cheap to do!

No excuses!

Cheers

Doug, thanks!

Good point about the upper body dymanic or plyo training. I like the tire clean and throw, especially for a lot of my lax (stick work) and football players (blocking) to get their arms with speed and strength.

Trying to keep it simple for the guys that don’t have a commericial place to get to.

I appreciate the comments!

Great Article
I like all of the dynamic movements, we think of all of the dynamic movements with the legs only but you gave some great (primarily) upper body example.

Thanks Joe and The Crew
