4 Min at Each Station for max reps,
rest :30 sec between each-
Air Dyne (NO STANDING, EVER)
50ft Sandbag Shuttle Run 80/50
Heavy Rope Double Unders
Burpee Box Jump Overs 24/20"
Right after we opened the gym, I drove out to Lincoln and picked up a 380# tire and we labeled it the BFT. At the time I remember it feeling pretty heavy, and a few of our strongest females were able to flip it over. Later on down the road, a local neighbor called me up and asked if he could drop off a tire that his wife was making him get rid of. Now we had a 440# tire and the BFT wasn't so B any more. Later the same guy came by with a matching tire which I traded a friend for a 550# tire. The 550#er feels really heavy and was fun for a while.
In planning for the throwdown I stopped by Blair's gym and he had two of the monster size tires that we used in the throwdown. At first attempt I couldn't even get it to move, which bothered me a bit. I wanted to see if I could just move it, which I did. After that it was a mission to become the second person to flip it, which I did. After the throwdown, I convinced Blair to let us keep it, given the fact he has an identical one at his place. So, now we have one for you all to take a wack at. Let's call it the HFT.
So far, after seeing me do it, Blair was able to do it. 3 of the strongest competitors in the Throwdown were able to do it. Ben Alderman, Jamie Lee, and our very own Alan Strange. Then Matt P flipped this bad boy pretty effortlessly as we were cleaning up from the event.
2 questions. Are you man enough? and who's going to be the first female to flip it?

Rae could do it if she was taller
Posted by: harlan | January 30, 2013 at 10:10 AM
How much does the HFT weigh? It's already taller than me

Denise, maybe we could flip it together? Let's give it a shot on Saturday. :)
Posted by: Steller | January 30, 2013 at 01:54 PM
My best guess is that it's 800#
Posted by: Justin Riley | January 30, 2013 at 01:59 PM
Thanks for the vote of (non)confidence, Harlan!

Ahem. I believe the lovely Leah B., was gently trying to point out a curious omission from our daily blog.
Gentle doesn't really work around here.
REGISTRATION FOR THE 2013 OPEN IS NOW OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. Now time for a pep talk, coaches.
I expect something witty, motivational, and profound on the blog no later than Saturday. Please mind those curious red lines that appear spontaneously under your text as you type. You may ignore the green ones. Extra credit if you proofread by reading aloud (must present at least two witnesses to receive credit).
Sabrina and Denise, I'm in. I will stand and offer as much encouragement as my lungs allow!
