A Quest for ONE THOUSAND POUNDS!!! | Strongman Tire Flip Facts 

Little known fact - the 1000 lb tire flip was the final event at the 1993 WSM that Alan won

Red-shirt, gym-goer-dude just carries on past as Alan is being filmed lifting something massive. Epic lifts are so standard at Untamed Strength.

After flipping everything in the wilderness, Grizzly Adams descends the hills into the city to flip a 1000lb tire.

Indiana Jones has been real quiet on announcing a sequel since this video has been posted.

I hope this 1000 pound thing never dies

I wanna hear Alan gruffly say "THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE"

8:20 - "The taller tire is harder to flip." Mark Rippetoe's voice echoing in the distance: "This is a wrench".

When he held up the piece of paper that said “one thousand pounds” I nearly spat out my food

Glad Alan's Orienteering skills are coming into play here

God dammit, Adam Paul, you’ve done it again. Missed this kind of video from you lately, great work!

2:45 golden opportunity for classic thrall country jam but so be it

If you look closely you'll notice that Alan didn't move the barbell once.

ONE. THOUSAND. POUUUNDDDSSSSSS 💪

This was a very educational video with well-presented information; thank you, Dr. Adam Paul!

The intro is legen-, wait for it, DARY! LEGENDARY!

Sounds like you like them short and thick my man. I can dig it. Thanks for the lesson!

As a mechanical engineer... only thing you missed was "do not move the barbell"

Emperor’s new groove? Someone has been watching a lot of Disney + haha

I’m a simple man. I see an Alan Thrall video, I click like.

As far as the tire height goes I'd say it depends on your height. Imagine the extreme example of a 1000lbs tire the size of a quarter. You lose all your lever arm and it's basically a 1000lbs deadlift. Now imagine the tire is the size of a barn, it'll be easy to break off the ground, but very quickly the tire would be completely on top of you and again decreasing your level arm as you go (kind of like a fingal finger, imagine a 1000lbs fingal finger). So the easiest tire height I would guess is based on your own height, probably around shoulder height.

Fantastic opener!

Great demo explanations!

Campaign to launch a featured length film. Journey: Adam Paul and the 1000 pound stone

I learned a lot about picking up rubber circles today and I em proud of myself

Meanwhile I’m just trying to hit 1000 pounds across bench, squat, and deadlift

Man, I wish we had a gym badass like Untamed Strenght here in Brazil. Most of the gyms here are focused on bodybuilding or crossfit, only. Keep up the great work, Alan!

Excellent tips!

Saying “1000 pounds!” Like Alan has become a staple in my vocabulary haha... also, “MYO reps!!” 😂

I asked him, "how much does it weigh". He said, "put your chalk back in the bucket".

BOOM BEBE

After full competition prep by alan, the tires in untamed strength will all be nicely brushed and cleaned.

GUNNA!

My gym has a few tires. I looked up the biggest one to see how much it weighed and it was 1,100lbs... they were recently re-weighed and re-labeled... it's under 800lbs lol

Few seconds I taught I was watching Indiana Jones

The content I didnt know I needed when I woke up this morning. Always have fun and learn something when I come here.

Self-proclaimed internet mechanical engineer, I concur

Thanks for the awesome video!

Wider tire makes the center of mass higher, which will make it easier.

I don't know Alan, I'm kinda tired.

The prophecy!!!

I want to see Kyriakos Gryzzly doing tire flip!

how much is a ticket to the swimming pool does one think? Well, I should think it would cost a thousand pounds! ... A THOUSAND POUNDS?! ... Yes, A thousand pounds!

it's so sad that we live in a time where somebody has to mute his video in order to avoid legal problems just because he features a couple of seconds of music from somebody else

Dunno who this crazy bearded tire loving man is, but he knows so much about tires, damn.

The day has come

Damn dude you're getting leaaaan

I'm pretty disappointed Alan... wearing that boonie... served for years... and didn't shoot one azimuth??!!? You looked like a LT wandering around out there

I see you wearing Omar's shirts

Aerospace Stuctural Engineer's Response.... Everything made pretty good sense, except for the height/width debate. But I think that's because you were using them somewhat interchangeably. As a caveat... if I were Boeing I wouldn't agree with the tread argument because friction isn't real.... For them, flipping that tire would be an incredible feat.

I just saw I haven't subscribed after watching these videos for a couple years now. Explains why I didn't see any updates.

A few girls on the high school volleyball team I coach flipped a tire in the school's weight room. It might only be about 150-200, but they haven't pulled over 100 on deadlift.

This morning as I positioned my feet for dead lifts, I heard a spectral voice from deep in my subconscious saying, "Don't move the barbell" So, even though I have no tires to flip in the foreseeable future, I had to watch this video. Thank you for sharing and Stay safe!

Looks awesome, but be careful with it. You put your ankle the wrong way when pushing that heavy tire, it's a disaster. Love your vids, man.

Might seem like a pointless question, but where do these tires come from? Who is making 1,000+ pound tires?

2:35 Metallica must have been playing in the background

This is so fake... I mean why was the grass on the flat so dry but the grass on the mountain so green? Always so many toxic lies within the fitness community...

this is also perfect because i just switched gyms and the new place i go to actually has tires and strongman stuff

"Boom Bebeh!" I knew it. Alan is a man of culture.

Can't wait for my re-tire-ment so i can do this all day

that's like the weight of my Miata!

Allan Thrall’s new bushcraft and survivalist channel.

looks pretty F'n dry... inferno season is almost upon the Golden State

seems like from a physics standpoint the "tall" tire should be easier to flip. You have a longer lever.

Can you apply some non-skid on the edges of the tread so you can grip it better? The downside, is it can tear up your hands if you are not using gloves.

turned into tom hanks after flipping that 1000lb tire

I estimate it's... 1060 POUNDS!

Is that Carcass I hear in the background? Sounds like Black Star.

Nice job Alan! I could see you jumping on top of that thing after the flip and saying "King Kong ain't got nothin' on me!"

I always wondered how you can let the gym music play in the background without setting off the copyright police. I guess the answer is you can't always...

I want an Alan Thrall soundboard and I want "1,000 pounds!" to be on it.

Lies, the audio was removed due to masculine grunting.

Good way to explain is look how easy it is to roll over a 450 atlas stone vs a 450 pound 2 inch sheet of steel

The Guy who works at the tire shop.- "aww Thats cute. Come do my job for a week"

I would have said the opposite about the tire height 😲 Since you'll be having less of the weight in your hands in the pickup vs a shorter tire, but maybe I'm completely wrong here and maybe my tire is just awful compared the one I've flipped before...

*audio removed due to copy right* pfft nah he just let rip a knarly ass fart

Is this broscience? What is considered bro cience in strongman?

It's about ONE-thousand..pounds!

Glasses so dark, he can't read no-trespassing signs...

'KRONK! Flip the tyre! WRONG TYREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'

One... THOUSAND pounds!

You're lean dude! Arms are looking great

Emperors new groove is Peak natty

Congrats on flipping the 1K tire!

Is the music from the beginning of the video from a Castlevania Lords of Shadow soundtrack? Sounds really similar.

How do I give this video 1000 thumbs up

Powerlifting - pure, unadulterated strength. Strongman - strength in motion! Excellent work Mr. Thrall :)

California DRY AF!!!

Pretty funny you lock up the tires. Could anyone even lift them if they wanted to steal them?

I have that same shirt but in tie dye long sleeve.

Want to impress us, leave the rim in!😎. Just kidding that’s awesome 1000lb tire way to go man!!👍🏼👍🏼💪💪

Do you ever get raw spots on your biceps from tires? Every time i do it I'll rub the skin off my arms.

emporers new groove so fuckin good

Beard gains. Getting to long bro.

1000lbs on the paper was brilliant. I enjoyed that. 👍🏾

Alan, I appreciate this tire flipping class. When beginning with the search was GREAT, thank you!!!

New metcons for Alan it looks like

I’m on the 100 mile quest!

I turned on captions recently, and at the end my phone translated “Train untamed” to “Trend on time”. I thought you were saying “Tren on time” for subliminal messaging.

Those fucking dad jeans had me dying bro. Lol. Hilarious

Is that one of your shirts or is it Omar’s?
