Preparing For My BIGGEST Arm Wrestling Tournament

also wht are yur measurments (bicep, forearm, height, weight)

6:32 with that setup with the thumbs really close like that, that's better for a hooker. For a toproll, you want that thumb all the way back nearly touching the base of your opponent's index finger. That is what will make your opponent feel your posting back pressure the most powerfully. The most important thing is to keep your forearm as vertically inclined as possible and always fight to keep it high. When you go for the pin, ideally your fist stays at that same relative angle to your elbow as when you were vertically inclined in the center. It's not possible to start fair like this, but to have your elbow ahead of your fist is the leverage point you're looking for. For each opponent, finding the position that allows you to get your elbow as close to being ahead of your fist as possible is the way to go. Even if you supinate and turn into a hook actually, you still want to try to bring your fist closer to you than your elbow. I hope that makes sense. There's lots of different philosophies.

Is there any way to fix wrist pain on the ulnar side when practicing toproll?

[@PlamenTheArmwrestler]

Hey that’s a good question! I have had this issue for some time in the past and there is a few things you can do to prevent the pain. 1. Really good wrist warm up. Recently I’ve done a full workout and then table time afterwards and because I have so much blood pumping everything is working as expected. 2. When performing top roll youd generally want to keep your riser engaged. If you can’t then you’ll be doing a twisting motion which will damage that area. 3. Don’t need to practice at 100% . I started doing more drills and scenarios and then a few hard pulls . I generally feel much better this way and can pull multiple times a week with minimal pain. 4. If your angle is pulled apart and you are in losing position and your wrist is pretty much facing upward just get pinned and don’t fight it. This is when your natural instincts kick in and you start pulling and twisting. This scenario is what usually causes me pain the next day.

@@PlamenTheArmwrestler What are the 2nd and 4th sentences? Can you explain clearly or make a video about them?

[@PlamenTheArmwrestler]

I can ! Will need to put it on my to do list. But let me try to explain in the mean time. When I mentioned engaging your riser. That is the position of your wrist when you try to turn your wrist upward and have your knuckles as high as possible. In most situations you want your wrist to be tight and angled upwards from a neutral position. For #4 The goal of top roll is the bend the persons wrist backwards and make them go palm up. 🫴 If that happens to you I wouldn’t fight it I would just recommend being pinned and resetting the position.
