Strongman Car Flip
Description
The strongman car flip (or car deadlift and flip) is an extreme strongman event where you lift and flip a car frame or heavy platform. The technique involves a heavy deadlift-style initial pull followed by a pushing finish to flip the implement. It is one of the most visually dramatic strongman events.
