3 Setup Rules for a Toproll

[@leopo1343]

The reason why pro kick back is they knew the opponent gonna hook them, kick back can secure more pronation and rise ,it’s a specific technique to counter hook puller . If you are toproller and try to cup ,you will probably got hooked in immediately

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

It can be used as a situational tool like this. But most people don't understand it's specific use case and so when they try it they often just get their cup taken. Auden Larratt is a notable example. I find I can predict 3/4 matches just based on this part of their hand positioning, showing how important it is to not starting in a negative cup based position. I've been meaning to do a video in it for a while

I saw Levan shoving that to Larry Wheels

[@Rx820brew]

Travis explains the toproll real simple. Good video guys👍

[@toddhutchings906]

Get a Ref Grip, slip, then get a Ref Grip in the straps, and everything gets so much easier and becomes much fairer.

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

@@toddhutchings906 I always go straight to refs grip in tournaments to avoid additional fatigue messing around when taking a grip!

[@uncolouredsteve5839]

The “make them reach for you” trick is the most useless thing if your opponent knows how to arm wrestle. I know Devon likes to go to that as his first bit of advice but seriously if you’re vsing anyone with a couple years experience they won’t fall for it

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

​@@uncolouredsteve5839 definitely have to use the ref to your advantage :)

[@adityateganath]

I have a doubt During toproll What is more important back pressure, (using brachioradialis) or dragging? Which can generate more force ? And what is the initial main movement?

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

@@adityateganath you need hand control before you drag so I would have to say your brachi is more important. Your lats will generate more force though, so important to drag once you have hand control. Initial movement is always to take hand, only drag after you've secured hand

Very good I would like to learn more about the set up . Now that I’ve been arm wrestling for a bit it’s very clear to me you have to first get a good or even better set up than your opponent or you’re screwed . I know some things about set up but not all the things yet .

[@JackCeverha]

Are you sure you're able to legally get that wrist angle before a start? I've never heard the rule of "plane of hand must flat to the side of the table." I don't see a down ref giving a thumbs up there.

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

Yes, I've never had an issue getting a start. The hand flat to the side of the table thing isn't written specifically in any rulebook, but it's ultimately why shoulder committed moves often start with their wrist a little backward in exchange for the extreme shoulder angle

[@AdamLighter1]

You cant, you have to have a straight wrist. If you do the thing he is saying, you may just trick the referee, since he cant see it that easily, but you wont be able to start with cupped in wrist, just ever so slightly.

[@heavybacon8783]

totally not legal here in Canada

[@adityateganath]

I am mainly a toproller, While playing with same arm length its comfortable for me But If I keep my riser activated (knuckles facing sky) against short arm length players they gain arm rise and I have to drop my arm compared to them and they get much advantage cause they can now use posting and back pressure more conveniently. So i should drop my wrist little bit or what i should do? Your suggestions please

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

@@adityateganath against competitors with a shorter forearm length you likely will have to drop your hand a little bit, unless you move your elbow backwards. Personally I tend to set up in more of a high thumb position anyways and use lots of riser but in a low hand position to help dominate the top spot even though I'm not going high knuckle. Ultimately you might have to experiment and see what works for you, or just get stronger :)

[@adityateganath]

@@armwrestlingprofessor thank you

[@adityateganath]

@@armwrestlingprofessorwhat is a high thumb position?

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

@@adityateganath i don't like calling it a 'low hand' technique because really what you're trying to do is get your thumb as high as possible. You only lower your hand so that you don't cover the thumb knuckle

[@roudymatar3265]

And then the referee will tell you to fix your wrist

[@armwrestlingprofessor]

@@roudymatar3265 what needs fixing?

[@GangdamStyle20]

Good luck at other federations. I am VERY VERY surprised they let you start the half way cuped in!!!
