Answer 1

• examples
  
  • Farmer’s walks
  • Tire flipping
  • Log/keg lifting
• Create greater degree of instability that challenges athlete in different ways

Question 2

tire flipping

• height = _
• Narrow tires = harder to flip for _ athlete
• Wide tires = hardr for _ athletes
• 3 styles of flipping
  
  • Sumo = _ stance + arms _ grip
  • Backlift style = _ stance ends with _ _ing movement, similar to traditional _
  • Shoulders against tire = similar to _. hands = _
• Shoulders against tire
  
  • Starting
    
    • Shoulders =
    • knees =
    • hips =
    • spine =
    • feet =
  • Upward movement=
    
    • Extend = _ and _
    • ankles = _
    • Take = _-_ _ to move _
    • Continue until body aligned = _* to tire
    • Strike = Flex/or/extend _ and _of _ fully to drive _upward toward tire
    • After strike hands = _
    • Push tire = _ arms

Answer 2

tire flipping

• height = no taller than client when standing
• Narrow tires = harder to flip for taller athlete
• Wide tires = hardr for shorter athletes
• 3 styles of flipping
  
  • Sumo = wide sumo stance + arms in narrow grip
  • Backlift style = narrower deadlift stance ends with forward pressing, similar to traditional deadlift
  • Shoulders against tire = similar to front squat. hands = supinated
• Shoulders against tire
  
  • Starting
    
    • Shoulders = resting against tire
    • knees = flexed
    • hips = flexed
    • spine = neutral
    • feet = far enough back to maintain neutral spine
  • Upward movement=
    
    • Extend = knees and hips
    • ankles = plantar flex
    • Take = 2-3 steps to move forward
    • Continue until body aligned = 45* to tire
    • Strike = Flex hip and knee of 1 leg fully to drive knee upward toward tire
    • After strike hands = pronated
    • Push tire = extend arms

Question 3

• Swing until
  
  • torso =
  • Kettlebell is =
• Allow momentum to raise kettlbell to approx =
• On downswing, flex hips/knees when = _ come in contact with _
• Throughout movement, back =
• Common errors
  
  • Flexing _
  • Back =

Answer 3

• Swing until
  
  • torso = nearly parallel
  • Kettlebell = past vertical line of body
• Allow momentum to raise kettlbell to approx = eye level
• On downswing, flex hips/knees when = upper arms come in contact with torso
• Throughout movement, back = neutral
• Common errors
  
  • Flexing neck,
  • Rounding back
