Did you ever put the deadlift handles on that tire?

[Porn Shop Clerk]

nope.  not sure what to make them out of.  just rope?  bar?  gonna have to be something i can stand in the middle of the tire and lift

[Chimera]

Any concrete makers nearby? Ask for some discarded rebar perhaps? I don't know. it does sound like a good idea to deadlift a tire.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

need something stronger than rebar

 

i'm pretty sure its about 650 lbs

Depends on the thickness of the rebar. 

Find someone with a rebar break and form some 3/4 or 1inch rebar into handles. 

[Porn Shop Clerk]

i still think that would flex too much unless i capped it

[Darth Biscuit]

You're gonna deadlift 650lbs? Damn.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

eventually, hopefully.  once i can flip that tire 20 times without stopping i'll have to move on up

 

the guy that gave it to me was deadlifting it

[Darth Biscuit]

I've been deadlifting more lately... 5 sets ending with 315 4 times. I might could get 400 once or twice, but don't feel like taking a chance on hurting my back. 650 is a LOT.

[Chimera]

Yeah that's young buck weight, man.

Do you use a trap bar to deadlift?

But back to the tire... 650 lbs? I gotta see this tire. I used to use one that was 350 and it was a bitch to flip because of its size moreso than its weight. IIRC, it was R55

[Porn Shop Clerk]

lol i'm still a young buck.  i'm not saying i'll be doing it in the next 6 months, but if i really got out there and focused on it i think i could

 

its a 12 ply 20.5-25 front end loader tire, most places said 650 so that's what i'm going with.   it might only be 500.

I've just been dl ing with a straight bar.

I've really slacked off the past 2 months with my wife being pregnant and now a newborn in the house. I am doing the 1200 calorie a day thing to drop the extra lbs I picked up then hitting the gym again. Will take two months to get back to wear I was. Getting off your routine sucks.

 

 

I feel for you man, I recently hurt my thumb pretty bad- I'm pretty sure it's my trapezium or the "knuckle" of your thumb. Anyways it hurts for me to grip a glass of water with just my left hand much less grip a dumbbell. I feel like I'm getting weaker everyday (been about 3 weeks)

 

I just want to get back in the gym doing my regular routine, right now when I go it's only cardio or things that don't involve grasping anything (which is unfortunately a LOT)

Just found a picture of me in a cutoff from 2011, didnt realize how diesel I was. I have such baby arms now. building back up is soo much harder then losing it all. I did increase my lifts on everything today though, so thats a big plus!
