BACK PRESSURE 1RM + Pronation and Rising Workout

[@snsdkbopper7819]

That’s interesting, because something that i actually thought up on my own, and have been doing for a long time, is when I’m doing pronation lifts from the ground, whether with heavy resistance bands or judo belts and free weights, when I do the standard loop around my thumb lift, to enhance it I’ll hold a fat grip in my hand to make it feel closer to griping a hand while doing my various pronation floor lifts, and of course I’ll pack the top of my hand sometimes with a drink kookie, which I discovered works great.

[@baracis85]

Glad you put out videos on a regularly basis. As a beginner that's about your same size, it not only helps with lifts for my training, but setting long term goals as well.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Cool. I try to put out regularly, but also don’t want to overwhelm people with a bunch of nonsense as well

[@ArmWrestling2022]

💪Very inspiring for a new guy like me. Thanks!

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Awesome, hopefully I can help in any way

[@ArmWrestling2022]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling Thanks very much!

[@FlashStallone]

Just found your channel, and im thankful. I was thinking I was pathetic only able to barely get 90lbs for 1 rep on back pressure being 170lbs. I've been training for about a year.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Glad you found it, and keep up the work bro. Eventually, it will pay off

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Just a tip for approaching a 1RM - save as much energy as possible and don't approach failure in warmup sets.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

True. Thank you

[@zcperkins]

Thanks for the video! I really need to get to Cleveland and work with you.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Absolutely, you will love it lol

[@MrRunescapy]

Finally, a person who uses a correct angle and doesn't change the angle by sliding their elbow!

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Exactly, big difference between this and dragging back

[@Joe-wt6eh]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling the lat is stronger than the bicep why not do both together

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

During my workouts I like to isolate muscle groups, I would do lat and brachioradialis separately. Of course during a match, everything is firing together.

[@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes]

awesome man! Great Lift! I do this lift as well, it's always the never ending battle of trying to get the strap lower on you hand😂😂😂

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Right, it’s like there’s some kind of invisible force that keeps pulling it up

Awesome. Sometimes I get more nervous going for a 1RM than a tournament lol

YEAH!!! 🔥

[@vanshtalwarr]

bro you always do 100 reps on those lift to increase your strength or just for conditioning?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

It’s good for conditioning, but I know I’ve gotten stronger, so…

[@jakevalent6180]

MMA fighters always have buffed out forearms. Maybe theres some unrealized strength increases from throwing tons of punches

[@TheChosenOne2023]

What brand is that strap youre doing the backpressure with? The quality looks great

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

It’s an ArmSport strap. Don’t look like they sell it anymore

[@TheChosenOne2023]

@KevinPalkoArmwrestling Actually I found it on there just had to go to page 2! Thanks! I like how you added the things around your hand for the Pronation lift, I bet that feels more realistic than the traditional Thumb around the belt Pronation lifts

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

@@TheChosenOne2023 glad you found it!

[@PerformanceEnhancingPancakes]

also, that's OVER half of Denis record which is the gold standard in my book😂

[@zacharycollierAW-PL]

Bro, where did you find that Engin Terzi style handle? Was it custom made?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

It’s from Gripedo Trainer

[@rickgrebenikpuggles56]

Kinda proves that the further your hand is from your body, the stronger 💪? Correct?.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

In some instances yes. That’s why so many people have success with an open style toproll

[@derbycityarmwrestling7300]

Hey Kevin, what do you think about putting the strap over the knuckles versus putting it through the palm?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Completely different workout and way harder. When the strap is over the knuckles, that is directly attacking your riser, or the ability to keep your wrist straight up. The workout I’m doing is mostly attacking the brachioradialis. Over the knuckles is one of the most important workouts for armwrestler’s

[@derbycityarmwrestling7300]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling Thanks. I won the left hand 154 lb amateurs at Kentucky Muscle which I know is nowhere near the level of the pros but I plan on trying the pro class left handed next tournament. Are there any lift numbers you would suggest going for to have good chances?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

@@derbycityarmwrestling7300 lift numbers are good, i would like to see your side pressure with a wrist wrench around 100 lbs. but just remember gym numbers aren’t the most important thing, perfect your table time and technique first

[@ChimpFlipperJr]

What was your backpressure 1RM, say 3-5 years ago? I’ve been working out for years but relatively new to armwrestling and my backpressure isn’t what I want it to be, I want to know what rate of progress you guys are making.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

I probably wasn’t even training like this 3-5 years ago. I’d say I was in the mid 80s when I first started this lift 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@coreywelch243]

How much weight do you use with the toproll eliminator? And do you prefer high reps for finger containment or low rep heavy weights?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

In this video only 20 lbs. but this tool is also good to go heavy on

[@coreywelch243]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling yeah I usually go moderately heavy 5x6 with the toproll eliminator and I do some reps with wrist flexion and some with straight wrist for containment

[@peterstorzarmwrestling1416]

Hey Kevin how much weight are you using with the 100 reps on TR eliminator handle???

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

20 lbs

[@justinmajor47470]

For the 100lbs, is that what the cable machine says or you use a crane scale?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

I measured it with a crane scale.

[@paulandclay]

Where did you get the strap?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

ARMSPORT (wrist ball)

[@jamesschmid2665]

Can you explain why so many reps? How is that conducive of strength training?

[@HateLoveHP]

I have a question like you too. In my research that support works out after 1RM lift are often about 15-20 reps x3

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Everyone does what works for them, and this is what I like to do

[@HateLoveHP]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling yes, you are a beast pro. Keep your training video coming.

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Thank you!

[@FotownTalon]

Top roll eliminator vs wrist max. What's your opinion?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

That’s a good one. Wrist max is probably better because it’s slightly rounded and the straps add extra resistance. The TRE is still good, but does hurt my finger joints more.

[@FotownTalon]

@@KevinPalkoArmwrestling thanks for the reply. Switching to more inside, ive noticed i need more strength their against top rollers. Glad the wrist max works, so i dont need to argue with the g.f. about buying a new handle lol

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

Lol right, she’ll be more understanding now

[@brandonellsessor]

What are those things you are holding onto and placing on your hand while doing pronation?

[@KevinPalkoArmwrestling]

The one in my hand is just a wooden cylinder I use to replicate a thumb/hand. The one on the back of my hand is just a rolled up kitchen towel with tape around it. Engin Terzi has a good video on what the purpose behind it is.

[@brandonellsessor]

I saw engins videos on that it was very interesting. I’ll try a rolled up kitchen towel and see how that works. I like your training methods btw! Very specific towards what we do and a lot to take away from it for beginners or even seasoned pros 👍

No offense kevin but your intro needs a little tweaking like you should be say welcome to “Kevin Palko Arm Wrestling “ or Kevin Palko Arm Wrestling channel or something like that I personally think it would be a little bit more professional to say instead of welcome back to the channel just saying think about it ?
