Okay. It’s still boggling my mind, but people at this gym view flipping the tire as this object of Herculanean effort.
I likely could make a post every week on this subject as it comes up that frequently.
Yesterday : I somehow talked a dude into giving the big one (cause who gives a shit about smaller size tires) a shot.
It’s my opinion just about every male at this gym could get it…that dude at 5’10” 185lbs got it simply being talked through how to do it.
Took him til his 2nd attempt.
Today this petite and curvy little college chick told me that I win this gym at the ability to flip the tire.
(Picture a 5′ pretty faced latina with curves, it’s a close enough description.)
Hilariously she’s apparently seen big dudes fail to get it over, even seeing tears from said big dudes who had failed to do so.
There’s this crazy odd object mental block to everyone in the building but me.
(And the dude who was game yesterday, but I removed his mental block, and talked him through it.)
A 275lb roided out bodybuilder made a big deal of it, suggesting only some 300lb+ strongman competitor was the only one on location to ever do so…
Yet I talked a normal 185lb male into flipping it. Hell, I’ve heckled a 165lb buddy into doing so with a larger tire with more worn down tread.
165lb male, flipping a bigger and harder tire. Perspective.
It’s amazing how a small amount of ribbing and 30 seconds of technique how to makes so much difference.
The 185lb dude yesterday told me that the story of my 165lb buddy flipping a harder tire caused a mental switch in his brain as to it’s possibility for him.
I told the chick today that I could talk/heckle almost any male at this place into flipping it.
As she was 5′ and petite I don’t think I could get her to flip it successfully with my 30 seconds of coaching, I do think there’s at least one female at this place that could.
I’m serious. There’s some diesel females here.
I’ll just start taking the compliments. I am after all King Of Awkward Strength.
