Expanding on the Riser

[@samuelsmith6804]

You have the best technical explanations on KZbin.

You are a gifted teacher. I am educated from the Royal Academy of music in teaching various instruments. My main instrument is guitar and I also train arm wrestling. I’m glad to see that you still make videos because they are gold regards from Denmark.

[@andreigavrila3370]

Great to see you're not quitting, buddy! Always great to see your expertise in these aspects of the armwrestling. Also, could you please cover toprolling a person taller, with a longer hand? Would be really helpful Thank you and keep the great work going

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

I’m still not training, coaching, or pulling but YT doesn’t take too much time.

[@andreigavrila3370]

@@ChrisDrummondAW well that would be a great topic for one of your videos Make a small favor for a poor kid trying to not be smashed by his bigger peers at armwrestling

[@ilovecrazyhops]

Yes we want to know all the ways to toproll the taller toproller.

[@creepiona5460]

Actually i'd prefer to know how to fight a short arm hook as a long arm toproller 😅 there's this one really buff dude with super short forearms in my club, he's got a crazy good hook, and i cant seem to roll out of it with a standard defensive toproll that you once showed in one of your videos 🤔 do i just have to work more on my pronation and backpressure, or is there something different i could do style wise?

[@Dunnohowtodraw]

How did you train to pull with your wrist kicked back? Weights or through tabletime?

[@dcgaming6898]

mind blowing insight on how that works. Lots of people tell you what to do in arm wrestling but don't explain why like you do.

[@thedrew24]

[@BroncoBillyAW]

Incredibly informational! Very nice way of putting things with an analytical mind. Thank you!

[@Jhutchison1992]

Every time I think I know something about Armwrestling I see a video like this and I’m like damn I know nothing lol it makes a lot of sense though . It explains a lot about a couple of my matches. Thanks!

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

me too

[@C99-k5s]

Great Video like always! It’s awesome to still se content from you 🙌🏼

[@ArmwrestlingShowcase]

Great tips! I have not heard the part about kicking the wrist back in the strap before. I always thought the role of riser is to just stay high. Thanks for sharing.

[@ProudFatherOf5]

thx Chris. Great video as always

Thanks Chris 🙏

[@Chingozpingoz]

How am i supposed to progress in heavy isometrics. What exercises should i choose? Can i change the dead stop by making the chain longer or shorter sometimes.

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

When it feels easy and you can hold it longer, go heavier. There’s not much to it.

[@leopo1343]

Bro， you are pro ， I toprolled EVERYONE after watching this

[@dude157]

great video mate

[@LaloSalinasTFT]

Thank you!

[@AbhimanyuAgnivanshi]

Hey idk you can answer this or not I have a supermatch coming up with a friend in 1 month If both of are wrist is straight and we go side vs side I am like 20%stronger (on gym pulley too) In bicep 5%stronger Pronation 20-25% stronger Backpressure (both lat and hammer curl)30% stronger (We have tested our max in gyms ) Even after this all in a hook vs hook I lose 9outof 10 matches His technique is hook and drag Although i am a toproller but just asking for info

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

What’s your question?

[@AbhimanyuAgnivanshi]

@@ChrisDrummondAW my ques is though being stronger in every aspect i could think of (except cupping) ....and losing easily against the guy with lesser table experience in a hook demotivates me .. What can i do more to get better in a hook(statically training biceps, sidepressure,latdrag, pronation)? Are there any more strength left? Sorry for bad English its my second language

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

@@AbhimanyuAgnivanshi you need more cup. That’s why he’s able to suck you into a hook and beat you there. Cup is the most important or useful strength for the vast majority of armwrestlers.

[@AbhimanyuAgnivanshi]

@@ChrisDrummondAW surely will focus more on the cup for the next month until the supermatch.

[@sethdixon1450]

My god bro!!! Great video!! Game changer

[@ricardoironlift]

💥💥💥Ty

[@creepiona5460]

There's also pronation through the wrist joint no?

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

You’re basically expressing it through the base of your thumb and that’s not meaningfully different than through the wrist joint. You can’t force a guy to hold on to your wrist joint.

[@abcde1a]

Great video Chris. I have a question. Should I train my static pronation (like larratt) with my wrist a little bit cup, with a little bit of kickback or neutral (like a setup)

[@isavalla1935]

Slight kick back or neutral

[@abcde1a]

@@isavalla1935 thx

[@ArmWrestlingVIP]

Today i tried devon larrat Pronation and rising lift and i got 50kg on the Pronation and failed 32.2kg on the rise , is it normal or should my Rise be better and btw i don't train arm wrestling at all i just do strength training and wanted to test the lifts

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

It’s unusually strong for someone who doesn’t train for them.

[@caseydupre5376]

Why doesn’t vitaly exploit rise in the set up like Devon? Is his forearm just too long that it would be a the back of the pad ?

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

That’s a big part of it. But watch Devon set up closely. He’s almost never super vertical with his wrist when getting a grip. He’s elevating his wrist and webbing as much as he can so that when he does kick back and rise he has better leverage. Marcio and Travis are better examples of people who use a lot of rise in the setup. Devon doesn’t do that.

[@pedrinho97]

Hey chris, I was planning to put the riser lift on my max effort day, would u add another exercise other than the one u are maxing out(in this case the locked riser)? Or just 1 is already enough?

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

I wouldn’t generally advise 1rm for riser.

[@pedrinho97]

​@ChrisDrummondAW got it, what about the static pronation lift in a max day?Sorry if its a stupid question, I'm really lost when choosing a lift for max effort(I identified my weakenesses as backpressure and riser on practice). I thought about alternating both each max day. Gonna follow your advice and avoid maxing riser. Thanks chris!

[@lououellet8964]

@@ChrisDrummondAWGreat video, why would you not recommend riser for max day?

[@gerardt3284]

[@jacobneuman6161]

Thanks !!!

[@meitwasnt6705]

Master Chris Drummond, first i'd like to thank you for your posting toproll video, watching it so many times has helped me destroy most of guys in my club. Very grateful for that, but lately i've run into a problem" hookers that grab low, like really low they cover the base of my wrist and block my pronation right of the get go, i become powerless, can't even move them, i tried low hand toproll but it's a hit or miss, when they grab low i can't do anything. Is there any counter to this? Pls enlighten me

[@ChrisDrummondAW]

If you can’t toproll them and hooking them doesn’t work, then your choices are to get stronger or keep losing.

[@meitwasnt6705]

@@ChrisDrummondAW so my only option is to get stronger against grabbing low hookers? Well then getting back to grinding, thank alot for the response

[@jakechia_armwrestling]

Hi there! Just wanted to share that a good counter to that would be to focus on cupping and driving sideways using more side pressure instead of trying to toproll and open his hand. If you want to attack with backpressure and toproll, another good option would also be to keep your thumb as far away as possible from his so that your opponent has less coverage over the base of your wrist and all the pressure is going towards his fingers. Hope this helps!

[@meitwasnt6705]

@@jakechia_armwrestling thank you so much sir, i'll try this at my club. Hope it works tho. Really appreciate the helps !!!

[@meitwasnt6705]

@@jakechia_armwrestling yo just hit my club and i tried what you taught me. With the cup and hit sideway, god damn i destroyed most of those guys who tried to grab me low, only 1 guy who is the best hooker in my club i couldn't finish him, lacking a bit of side pressure, but thank you so much sir, u showed me a way, gave me hope to destroy them low grabbing hookers again. I was so discouraged couple days ago. Now i know i can stil show them hookers what's up. Really appreciate the help sir, merry Christmas to you and your family.

Can you make an explanation video on why someone would pull with a low hand toproll rather than other types of toproll? It s something that I ve never understood

I have a video from a couple years ago where I explore this. It may be worth making a new one.

Hello Chris. Great content. May I ask I am a toproller and I still not make it far in tournament in 2 years in the sport. Should I try hook style instead?
