ARMWRESTLING 101 CUPPING FOR THE WIN! *part 3 | ft. Michael Todd

[@DARK24-7]

This is the kind of experienced info that really gives me an inside view to the sport-ty Monster!

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Happy to hear

[@HollywoodMattConnelly]

Nice work Michael, I'll be adding some of these into my workouts.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Enjoy, #gains

[@borebelllifting5629]

I watched the three 101 vids. I've been in the teaching business for 20 years and coaching for 10. You sir have great skill at explaining/coaching. And Mrs Monster camera work is perfect at showing instructional angles. TY for the lessons.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Thank you for the kind words & we appreciate the support

[@golsonkp]

I've been doing those type of seated rows cups and oh man, everyone should add the cup to it. forearms are gaining! Good stuff

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

It is indeed

[@rapnok6475]

Ive been doing it with neutral grip pullups but with out the spinning handdle, just fully cupping over the bar and its really nice on the forearms. Should I try and use spinning handles? I almost feel that they should be harder without the spinning handles but I dont know I have not tried them. Just curious cause im new..

[@andrelarocque5967]

Ive been doing dumbbell rows with a fat grip cupping. It seems to work very well.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Good deal

[@MikealBasile]

Great tips and explanations. As a beginner, I really appreciate the information. Especially the finer points about form!

[@Dton369]

the reason Devon uses his thump is to strengthen the thumb for better pronation

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Interesting

[@G-MBobis]

i like much more the last handle

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

It’s a brutal handle for sure

Loving this series of educational training videos. Thanks Monster 👹. Curious if you ever train using a Multi spinner?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Happy to hear! I do not, most of my cable pulls are with the ArtArm (toproll position) or with the handle in this video

[@Catofborealvalley]

Can't wait for pronation video. Whenever I train pronation all I feel is my biceps lol? 😂

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

You often will in your lower bicep

[@olebjrnbrathen597]

Hi Mike love these videos 👍 I have one question: Why do you prefer the spinning handle compared to some kind of wrist wrench on the table pulls?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

It just feels more comfortable

Yes champ! I would definitely buy myself an MMT handle if you were to start a little online shop

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Good to know & thx for the support

[@kaganturktur]

Very informative video mister, thanks. I was listening ivan matyushenko and engin terzi one day and ivan said he made a research and found out that most of the winners in the amateurs are the ones with 1st : stronger cupping 2nd: stronger internal rotation(side pressure) . But when I think now yeah if you cant rise, you dont have any access to your cupping and side pressure you are right. Even when you are just doing hammer curls if you lose your riser you are pretty much done

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Exactly

[@andrest-germain92]

Great series love it !! Do you train , cup , rising, pronation the same Day ?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Not always, but I often do

Another awesome , informative video. If arm wrestling ever kicked off in the mainstream, I hope you'd start your own wrestling school i.e. be like a residential 10 month academy like they do with soccer in Europe.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Definitely a cool idea

[@ashk8834]

[@TheBartmobile]

I saw a Travis Bagent video where he said simply that he does six exercises... Bench, curls, and lat pulls. Then, on alternating days he does dips, pull ups and should press. He said he does 20 sets of 5 reps. So, do you have a plan like that? I’ve been doing a modified version of his workout since August. I have a cable and table, so I added cupping and other wrist and forearm exercises to his original six. Of course, I only do 3 sets of 8 (for each exercise), but I try to keep it consistent. If I miss a day, I just do the next group as if I didn’t miss a day. Anyway, again, do you have a video that lays out your week?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Nothing in one video, but videos of all of my workouts are on our channel

[@kgwa5197]

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

I have a left hand match this Saturday for the TAL Championship

[@gregpayne4939]

What's your thought on flash starts and side pressure

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

I think they are AWESOME 😎

[@HookedOnFish_MI]

Where do you draw the line between training the same exercise every day and worrying about the muscle not healing/building first? Would like to understand that sweet spot to increase my training.

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

I relate hand & wrist training to having a manual labor job so, I do it daily & then rest for a week prior to competition

[@HookedOnFish_MI]

@@MonsterMichaelTodd Makes sense, thank you for the reply!

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

💪💯👍

[@hadishishtar1528]

Is the reason everyone losing to Khalid’s cupping is his hand’s size or hand’s strength or both ??

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Both

[@DJTechnoboom]

people that work on cars have strong hands and wrists i used to work on cars and i would jam my finger on the metal all the time so increased my pain tolerance, and turning them wrenches, will help wrist, one of my Auto mechanic teacher was like late 50's and his for arms were huge.

Do you ever use the wrist wrench ?? For one hand cupping and what's your opinion on the handle?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Not as much anymore, but it’s an amazing handle for cable pulls

[@tylerdanford4514]

Is wrist ball products effective for cupping also? Also im assuming lats are a key muscle for top roll correct?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

If we are thinking about the same product, then absolutely! IMO, the lat is key in both toprolling & hooking!
