When using a tyre it's important to find the right size. The tyre should be 250kg-300kg for lighter and younger athletes and 300kg-350kg for heavier and professional athletes. Tyres below this range have too little training value. If an athlete finds a 250kg tyre especially difficult to work with they are not physically prepared for tyre training.

The article was aimed at fighters rather than strength athletes. I've enjoyed using a lighter tyre (150kg?) for mucking around/conditioning (
not CF) but I was wondering what Dave etc. thought of the above.
