How to do it

Grip the tyre underneath on the tread with your feet set back and **your chest against it**. Lift by extending hips and knees as in a deadlift, bringing it to your chest; when it gets there, **switch your hands to a pushing position** and step forward, driving it over with your whole body. Your upper back rounds to hug it; your lower back does not. The classic mistake is trying to lift it with your back instead of getting your chest in and driving with your legs.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
