Diving deeper into the wrist training advice

I would love to train with you sometime. I believe we train much differently and I would like to see the things you focus on most (intensity, volume, direction) and why

Hello Mindaugas, hope you are great! It would be so good if you share your whole lifting/training sessions. I know it's boring to film and edit it, but world needs to see this. Its about time... Please consider this, I believe we all need that lol. Thank your for everything, wish you all the best!

Hi brother,can you please explain about cupping workouts?

Hey Mindaugas, love the video. You're one of my favorite arm wrestlers!! I would love to see a video on what you do for improving biceps strength.

[@pan4948]

Hello Mindaugas, Thank you very much for this video. It was very helpful. Stay strong and healthy

[@Ethan_la]

Can you do an instructional video in how YOU top roll. From the setup and which direction you specifically pull. That’d be awesome. Love the content

Love this advice. Thank you sir!

thanks. good info.

Keep post min! Ur great

[@jakecollins8666]

Would you recommend training your pronation in a similar way? I think we've all experienced that moment where we lose control of the weight and our wrist buckles in a crazy way during a static lift. If you're lucky it didn't cause any injury but this is definitely a better way to do it and it translates better to the table. A lot of people do the Devon Larratt style lift as well and I don't think it translates to the table like they want it to.

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Yes, a similar idea for pronation

[@davidbaltierra9531]

How would you train with bands. For those without pulleys bands are good the way I train I attach a c clamp to a 2 by four on the garage wall several at different angles with a strap and carabiner and band and carabiner then handle. Works pretty darn good, give it a shot. Bands that I use are rogue mini monster bands💪🏽

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Bands are great, I just get into a comfy static position and walk backwards 😊

[@WBFFProLucas]

Thank you!

[@mauriciomendes2377]

Can you talk about the press? Exercises and technique

[@bruh-dy5xi]

this reminds my of one exercise of rising that Taras Ivakin used to do

[@pauldedward]

Great video Mindaugas! Please just improve audio a bit if possible

[@jacobobos]

Sadly can't hear him on full volume on earphones

[@VariousShortsX]

he cant do much beacuse he is using his phone

[@lycosa10]

I have volume at 25% on my headset and hear perfectly 🤔

[@jacobobos]

@@lycosa10 with headphones/headset/speakers on computer or TV there's no problem but on phones there's volume limiting and his videos are consistently 15-20dB bellow average

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Yes, I have to improve it, maybe time to change the phone 😂

[@sae7278]

Hi Mindaugas, nice thoughts on training safety. Would like to know more about your toproll

[@Xayc__]

Safety is already a good enough reason to avoid that version and do yours

[@sundigest1121]

I agree

[@Hanzala_Naizi]

Plz demonstrate your tips on table. ❤❤

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

The thing is, doing the riser lift or any 90° lift or cable move for riser, the biceps is never the limiting factor, it's always the wrist. The looped over the hand version, yes it's more elbow flexors but riser still works to keep wrist upright. I do understand though that risk of injury due to dumping the wrist is higher, but surely building up conditioning and strength over time like armwrestlers do should lower that risk? That being said, I HAVE seen your method recommended before by RVJ, the non-90° angle riser training on cable machine.

[@Heinzboehm]

Hello Mindaugas, so you do the exercise very strongly, even with a high cupping, is that correct? you probably have very strong fingers too? How do you train your fingers? And do you also do all the drag exercises with your thumb? You are often seen training from a high angle. What do you do for your stability in your arm and brachioradialis/biceps/brachialis? What are your maximum strength values ​​on the pulley system with your form of rising from the front? Thank you very much for your support and answering the many questions. Best Regards! René

[@tarasaitis_arm]

I feel like I get most of my finger strength from pull-ups and table practices

[@JG-nf5pr]

Thoughts on dumbbell wrist curls for basic wrist/flexion strength?

[@jakesarmwrestlinguniverse9792]

I would agree with you and actually thought of this last year BUT I don't think it feels anything like armwrestling comparatively

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Even if you are using some other technique like pure posting, I would still argue that exercises done in my way give you more wrist stability and strength 🫶

[@jakesarmwrestlinguniverse9792]

@tarasaitis_arm maybe I'll switch because lately I don't feel my arm engage on the table for post. I just assumed it was due to over training

[@armwrestimgwanli]

hello！Do you need to stretch after training? If you want, can you post a post-workout stretching video?

[@aminettay]

But don't you think there are cycles of training, when for instance, on easy cycle you do multiple reps in full motion, and on heavy cycle you do more static holds? Or you train differently?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Yes, agreed

[@Mika-pv4bw]

It’s early Christmas 😁♥️💪

[@movieshorts4561]

And we’re do you load before go, into opponents fingers locking your bicep then aggressive pull with lat to position ??

[@primorieL12]

Have you ever experienced wrist pain near the tendon of the extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) when toprolling in the strap ? I feel that this is sometimes a limitation for me to apply my pronation fully, by applying a force with my pinky. From what I saw it could be the tendon that pulls on the ECU subsheath. Is it bad technique or is it a weakness ? Thank you for your videos.

[@hikenzankūsen]

did you train your ulnar deviation? helps release tension in the forearm aswell, just don't go crazy on the weight. my static riser is at 33kg. but i use a 1 sided dumbbell @2.5-3.75kg for the ulnar deviation ("chop"). finger extensions (full range) also helped me alot. anything that isn't pure flexion but applies load to the tendon at the ulna helped me. and in the case of flexion, it is specifically a purely static fully flexed dumbbell wrist "lift" (or falsegrip pullups as an alternative) that also hit that tendon. at the table, the ECU isn't always under as high of a load compared to the other tendons, so when someone has a good pronator and nice backpressure, and he happens to break open my flexion/wrist containment, then that ECU is experiencing forces it's not used to. also, specifically in the case of a posting toproll, when my rise is fully engaged, the ecu is almost completely relaxed. noticing this was the clue to realizing that i've been severely neglecting that muscle, or that motion itself.

[@UweEatsWorld]

I have 30 min daily for an Armwrestling workout and i would say 3-4 exercises - on what would you focus in this given conditions ? 😬😬

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

3 exercises, 10 mins each, you could do 1 armwrestling fundamental each day, so choose whatever you'd like, leaving a few days before hitting the same fundamental again. So day 1 could be rising, 2 could be cupping, 3 could be pronation, day 4 cupping, 5 back pressure, 6 could be triceps, etc. 30 mins goes quickly when you have 2 arms to train

[@snsdkbopper7819]

Do you alot of cupping strength exercises? If so, Do you primarily use free weight exercises or cable handle exercises for cupping?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

I use cable handles

[@EvolutionaryE]

The health argument doesn’t actually hold water. The main argument you’re making is that you want the rising (radial deviation) strength integrated with the fingers, pronation, and wrist flexion.

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Yes, the way you wrote it probably describes my idea better than I did 😂 but I still think my health comment is valid

[@hmd7990]

Do you like to train pronation through sidepressure?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Not really

[@奥特曼-v4n]

Champ,I watch you many matches，and i find out that you always set up low hand，and for you always make your thumb line back，its good to attack peoples hand.but this kind of set up will make you have less room to cup.And when meeting someone who has larger hand,it is really hard to attack their fingers,if u make your thumb back,for those big hands,it's even harder for you to cup.So,if in this situation,should I do not make my thumb back,but forward so I can have room to cup and go sideways,beacasue its hard to attack big hands finger. One more question,I have short arm,naturally,I will have a high hand,should I still make a low hand,becasue I find posting syle give much pressure on wrist joint.

[@tarasaitis_arm]

A shorter arm normally means a shorter hand as well. Which is not the best while using lowhand toproll. Did you try inside techniques?

[@奥特曼-v4n]

@@tarasaitis_arm no，im a natural toproller，in my weight（60kg），our hand size is almost the same,but my forearm is shorter.

[@Armwrestlingkilla]

Good explanation. Would the same apply for pronation at that angle, as like this the pressure is on the thumb which is a muscle unlike the wrist rise you explained?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Yes, I would use this idea for pronation as well

[@Armwrestlingkilla]

Cool. Quick fire questions: 1. Pullups 90° or full range? 2. Do you do external rotation and how often? 3. How often do you do JM press? 4. Do you still have coach programmes?
