[@Milo-Mike]

I could also recommend doing supination and cupping. You could also do this with the weight stack you have, just with a different grip in these straps. For external rotation pain, shoulder dynamic Stretching and facepulls are really good. Furthermore, Combining Backpressure with Sidepressure prevents those disbalances

[@mackeystrength]

Absolutely I agree! I got a table and modified the pulley system on it and I do those lifts as well now. Yea face pulls when I was having shoulder pain worked excellent.

[@LevDarratOliveInducedPhsycosi]

The ulner forearm pain is something that also happens with heavy bicep lifts. What i woul reccomend is, AND you should do this very light en more reps pls dont go heavy even if you can because the ulner wirst ligaments can get injured thats a major setback. But ok what you should do is ulner deviation. Best with an empty single arm bicep handle if availablem other wise resisitent bands. Second. A lot of slow and light supination. Thos to should solve the problem because massaging wont lol

[@mackeystrength]

Thanks! I'm gonna give this a go for sure, I do some supination work but I've never done any ulnar deviation. When I was having external rotator pain I did lots of face pulls for a couple of weeks and once it went away it never came back so maybe this could be a similar thing.

I've been recently interested in arm wrestling training not to be an arm wrestler but to develop forearms like and arms like the pros....it's weird that if you actually put ur time into doing it you will slowly see improvement...

[@cgemount]

Nice, thx for this video. Is this progress really so fast? Could you please give a overview what exactly is meant with recovery? How many hiurs between the experiences.....a day. Thx mate PS. Did you warm up before this heavy lifts?

[@mackeystrength]

No problem, and absolutely it can increase quickly when done the right way. The recovery is basically low weight high rep work usually rising,rolling, cupping and supination typically about 50 reps of each. Just to promote blood flow and actively recover the tendons and muscles used. I did a lot of these singles (for me) per day during this video. Right now I’m doing anywhere from 1-6 of these singles a day and I try to leave at least an hour between them. No warm up just hit it! Hope this helps!

[@cgemount]

[@yeraliyev.a113]

HOWW!!!!!!!!!!!?? JUST HOW BRO YOU JUST PROGRESSED LIKE 9 KG FROM 30 DAYS WTH HOW IM TRAINING FULL BODY BUT ALSO CHECK THIS LIFT ONCE A WEEK AND GAINED 2.5KG IN A 1 MONTH OF TRAINING WITH FULL BODY( IM TRAINED ESPECYALLY TO A ARMWRESTLING LIKE TRAINING PROnator riser and biceps and this muscle that in the forearm that needs to pulling so okey im gonna train like this 30 days and will say progress here bcs i have match with the one person!

[@bernardo2151]

How much did you add to your lifts within this 30 day devon style training? Do you think this type of training is possible to maintain for 3-4 months for a natural athlete? Or is it more suitable to break plateaus, such as main lifts like rising, locked pronation aka devon lift, containment, etc

[@mackeystrength]

So I made a video a while before this one trying the lifts and I did kind of a sloppy 84lb pronation and a 66lb rise that took everything I had so I did increase a fair bit. I do think you can sustain this but I think you have to do recovery work everyday as well. I also think I did too many lifts per day for myself during this video and ended up with pain in my forearm. So for me anywhere from 1-6 of the rise and pronation singles per day is plenty for me and I do high cup, low cup, press and grip 1-3 times per day and every time I do those ones is when I do my recovery as well

[@danieldodson941]

Bro your riser is INSANE! Even Devon can only do 44.5kg

Thanks!

[@rustyharden2716]

Pretty crazy gives me hope to keep pushing how long have you been training for armwrestling

[@realdeal1862]

Great job bro! One way to help without over training is lift like 90% of what you can lift and never more! Even Devon says this! You’ll still make great gains!

[@mackeystrength]

Yep, absolutely!

[@aidanhobgood5133]

It’s amazing when you do these lifts for a while and then rest completely to let everything level up. That’s when I really noticed the most gains. Nice lifts pal, what is your elbow to finger tip length and body weight? Impressive going up 10lbs on the pronator lift since your last video on it. I have the same curse of my arm opening up before my pronator gives up. What % of your max did you start at?

I just started doing these lifts a week ago starting at riser 45 lb, pronation 50lb. I'm lifting twice a day at 86-93% of my max . I'm planning on doing it for atleast 5 weeks . Should I lift more then 3 times a day? Any recommendations?

[@mackeystrength]

I believe it's up to what your body can handle, I think 3 a day would have you moving along quite nicely, If you can handle more without hurting yourself or dropping form then I think it would be worth it to try. If it starts to feel easy just add a pound and keep making the gradually small jumps I think that's the best way if you are to try this method!

I just mean to keep it heavy, but don’t make it to where you can replicate it with good form later on in the day. Somewhere in the 85-93% of your 1rm is what I try and do.

[@mackeystrength]

@@antaljoco97 so I never really try for an all out max but what I do is either test about what ur max is one day or if you have somewhat of an idea you can start with 20,30 lbs less than the estimated max. And do ur lifts with great form and gradually keep adding a pound everyday until you hit a point where it’s getting difficult but still very do-able with good form and then slow down and stay there for as long as it feels hard and once it feels like you could likely get a second single immediately after then add another pound, so on and so forth.

Very nice lifts, congratulations! However, for me who I've been doing the exact lifts for one entire year, the gains you've had seem a bit suspicious, at least for me. I started with 20 kg for the riser and my max now is 30 kg while on pronation I've started with 30 kg in Dec 2022 and now my max is at around 39 kg's. My frame is 1,80 cm and 85 kg, while my arms measure 34.4 cm on my right forearm and 40 cm in right's bicep's. (left is almost the same). I don't feel weak for my body/strength ratio, is just that I've been having a hard time making good gains from these lifts. You, however, seem to have been doing in one month what I've been trying to do in one year. You either had the power from the start and did the montage for the sake of the video theme (30 days challenge), or my friend, you are an absolute unit that gained around 20% increase in power in only 30 days. 🥲

[@mackeystrength]

Thanks! and yea the thing is everyone's body is a little bit different and respond differently to things than others. So for this month I didn't train anything else I would just do these singles, everyday with about 30 mins to an hour between when I was home. Probably came out to about 12 lifts a day maybe less some days, but yea I definitely couldn't do these weights on day 1 haha. The first time I tried these I think I capped out at 84lbs pronation and I did 66lbs rise on the right hand but It took absolutely everything I had to lift. cheers!
