Flipping is one of the most dynamic and visually exciting movements in Strongman competitions. Flip events challenge athletes to lift, drive, and rotate massive objects, requiring a combination of explosive power, grip strength, and endurance. Each flip event offers unique obstacles, from awkward weight distribution to sheer size, demanding mastery of technique and total-body coordination. Whether flipping tires, cars, or the iconic Fingal’s Fingers, these events showcase the raw power and resilience that define Strongman competitions.
Tire Flip
The Tire Flip is a classic Strongman event where athletes lift and flip a massive, heavy tire repeatedly over a set distance or for a specific number of repetitions. The uneven grip and bulky size of the tire test grip strength, explosive power, and cardiovascular endurance, making it a favorite for its raw simplicity and challenge. [Read more…]
Car Flip
In the Car Flip, athletes must lift and overturn a full-sized vehicle onto its side or back. This event tests the athlete’s ability to generate immense power and control while managing an object with awkward weight distribution. The Car Flip combines brute strength with technical skill and is one of the most visually impressive events in Strongman competitions. [Read more…]
Fingal’s Fingers

This event challenges total-body strength, leverage, and endurance, as each finger increases in weight and size. Fingal’s Fingers is a signature event that emphasizes precision and power.
