RISE to the TOP | Why Rising is so dominant in Arm Wrestling

[@SirBagelsFGR]

First tournament in 5 days after practicing for a year. Thanks for the tips boys. Low hand video definitely helped me in the last practice

[@rileyneufeld7001]

Try to remain calm and don't hype yourself up too much. Getting too angry and worked up can make you miss certain things in the setup and be slow on the hit. Grip and rip buddy!

[@SirBagelsFGR]

@@rileyneufeld7001 thank you! I'm trying to not put any expectations on myself so I don't get nervous and mess up. Just using it for experience. I started very very weak and I'm now just being able to compete in practice so I have a long way to go. Appreciate the kind words.

@@SirBagelsFGR Strength can be a gift and a curse! I also don't have much fundamental strength so craftiness and strength in specific areas is very important for guys like us. It forces us to be smarter at the table.

[@SirBagelsFGR]

@@rileyneufeld7001 agreed. I've definitely gotten more technical than some of my training partners who are more horsepower based

"Height, height, height"- Tuco, probably

[@horsiemetaldetecting5975]

love those videos! I just recently realised after pulling with some longer arms(usually my opponents have much shorter arms and only hook) that my rising is actually my biggest strength. I would love to see a video from you on strength standards for armwrestling. Ive only seen one video talking about numbers in armwrestling lifts and how they relate to ranking etc.

What's your arm length

[@shawnlewis4279]

Do you have that video?

[@Sinkatze]

Always amazing to watch these series, awesome job! Thank you My riser is by biggest weakness, I usually have to rely more on my cup over riser

[@toptrollking]

badass fight at the end there!

[@goomerperez]

Love your videos! What if I fight an opponent with longer arms? Isn't the rise game a lost cause and I should go straight for the cup in order to hook before he opens me up?

[@inkofthedragon]

Hi, I'm new to arm wrestling. At practice when attempting my riser, the other guys say it feels like I'm pulling more straight back (back pressure) and not actually rising upwards. But when I try to vector upwards towards my face, my elbow comes off the pad. However, when the pro I'm practicing with rises, it does not. I dont get it. FYI I have a shorter forearm and am shorter than everyone at practice. Is that why? I'll also dip down a bit and do more of a hammer curl but the guys say once again that I'm not getting any height. So confused. Thanks for any tips

[@vanshtalwarr]

what's the best way to train rising, static or dynamic?

[@SirBagelsFGR]

Hopefully they respond but Sandris taught me to do both. Heavy static (Devon style) and reps with a band

[@horsiemetaldetecting5975]

BOTH! you need to develop the muscles responsible for rising which are both a part of your extensors and flexors. Do some isolated wrist rise dynamically and on a separate day and especially before competition you need to focus on more static work. But i never understand how people only train their "rising" by doing hammer curls with a static riser, thats just very suboptimal to say the least

[@tablemonkeys5262]

Short answer is both

[@stevelleremy1685]

Year 40 and still no people or channel answer me about how can i suposse to win the riser position if iam always taller than my oponents and the ref deliberate put my riser down and my elbow back, putting me on an bad pisition from rising point of view. I hope someone could explain how someone like Georgi Tautiv can win the riser

[@SirBagelsFGR]

Rise through your wrist and thumb instead of your knuckle like a low hand top roll

[@horsiemetaldetecting5975]

if youre much taller then a posting style toproll doesnt really work because theres no way for you to push your elbow forward) so your arm can only drag no post. Now if the guy posts on you then you have to either have the rising strength in your wrist to outrise him(meaning only your wrist not your arm ofc) even from a lower starting point which will block his toproll or you have to lowhand him someohow.Personally i do the first, i dont really understand eitehr how a lowhand toproll works in this scenario but i believe voice of armwrestling made a vid about it somewhere

[@King-js7nw]

Shorter forearms are better for posting/ rising.. you have your advantages and shorter forearm people have our advantages 🫠🤫

[@Pepe-pq3om]

You don't need to, just do what Vitaly Laletin and Matt Mask do. If your arm is already longer than your opponent, he already has to hold onto you

[@toptrollking]

one does not simply rise to the top.

Most fights ends up in a strap.)
