Hilarious as Ever.... everyone needs more AAA content. Great to see you on BYM podcast with Bisping. Are you attending UFC london fight card July 23rd future Champ.

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thank you mate, yeh I'll be there as a guest just hanging out

[@Bot-rp7rj]

Arnold you're the man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thanks mate 👊🏻

[@rjim1]

It was great to finally see you on the BYM podcast at last, Arnold! Good luck on rehabilitating those hands mate!

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thanks mate, yeh was awesome to get on, Mike's the man

[@LightoftheMostHigh]

This guy is good, proper authentic. It’s refreshing

[@johbsilva4984]

Loving this content dude. It really helps seeing someone who doesn’t necessarily feel as comfortable with this stuff just pushing through and doing it. Stay away from birds brother😂 leave your madman punishment for the blokes in the octagon

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

😂 Nothing to it but to do it

[@chrisg9615]

@@ArnoldALMIGHTY yeahhhh budddyyyy

[@uniqueusername22337]

Your dad's got some crazy stuff out there LOL really interested in seeing that crazy leg press and squat contraption in action. You are the most kind-hearted guy in the UFC. One piece of advice I have is to use a standard outro line that you can say with enthusiasm. Good luck with the wrists

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Yeh he's a wild man 🤣 thanks so much man

[@davidgould5708]

Its not cheating with the chalk. You still have to physically keep your fingers tight around whatever you're holding. Whereas with straps you are just having weights hang from your wrists. Look forward to seeing you back In the octagon.

[@nlc0540]

Almighty!!!!

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@greenandred3748]

Knuckle push ups help with the wrist collapse. Don't focus on the amount of reps but just the time you hold yourself up for and slow reps are good too. I had the same issue as a kid with my wrists when sparring and that helped me immensely.

[@123zamanh]

You are one of the most straight talking fighters there is, big respect bro. Keep doing you all the way to the top!

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thank you mate!

[@joosiff5741]

The explanation of you killing that bird caught me off guard😂 crying rn😂😂

[@samuelratchford862]

Keep it up Arnie! I can't wait for part 2 that looks one hell of a gym. Saw Golovkin doing a forearm exercise where he lies his forearm flat on the side of the ring and then holding a light kettle bell upside down turns his wrist over and back again. Looked a tough one.

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

As soon as I can get big pacer to do a filming day I'll have part 2 up, thanks mate yeh Ive tried that too works well

[@HustleWithHeathy]

Mate this quality its like watching a mate messing about in the garden but really your cracking heads in the best MMA company in the world. Legend.

[@ThatDangKid1]

Enjoyed this, Arnold. I would love to see you talk about your personal journey and the trials and tribulations you’ve been through. You come across as a really genuine guy

Keep being you fella - it's so good to see British MMA just exploding with guys like you and Aspinall at the top of the bill, would be amazing if we could get a dual champion card in London 2023.

That'd be amazing, thanks man

You gotta do very lightweight flexor and extensor wrist curls 15-20 reps 3 sets to help heal your tendons/hands, stay consistent and hopefully it resolves. Best of luck in the future, love watching your fights

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thanks mate, yeh I've been doing the wrists curls for a long while now, get a good pump from it too

God bless Arnie

[@retromurdok]

You are such a humble legend. I lost a finger tip in motorbike crash, & started with a stress ball to build up strength in my hand. I also started hanging from a pull up bar for about 30 seconds every morning until I could do it for a minute. I probably should have asked for advice aswell 😅

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

That sucks!, I feel like hanging and monkey bars are great and helps my shoulders too

Check out the Raspberry Ape, grip strength video. So many good bits, can't beat knuckle pushups and finger tip pushups for hand strength when you start adding weight.

Been watching him since he pulled off that insane ninja joke against mads burnell and he’s just gotten even better since then huge fan been needing some home workout ideas thanks Arnold got a fight same night as you😂I will try to stay off social media till I see your fight 🤜🔥the one man I think can give Volk a run for his money

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

It was a bad day at the office 😂

[@bendassut6533]

Was good seeing you on bym podcast. You're right, too. You should get a title shot. I think you have the style and IQ to beat the champ.

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Thank you mate was great to finally get on Mike's show, appreciate that!

[@blueferret98]

You should add forearm extensor curls and wrist deviations to your routine, those hit some more muscles that keep your wrist in place. Can be done easily with a dumbbell and sledgehammer respectively, and they would bulletproof your wrists like crazy. They’ve solved my forearm and wrist pain while I’m learning to planche.

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Cheers mate, yeh I've been adding those in aswell and seems to be helping well

[@vincentvandervelden3554]

The liquid chalk thing is definitely not cheating when used on compromised hands ,its actually a sign of determination to train, injured hand or not mad respect 👊🏻

[@ArnoldALMIGHTY]

Yeh it seems to help, just felt like it dries my hand

[@nickh7681]

Have you considered buying a hangboard or some other rock climbing related forearm strengthening equipment? You can use the less aggressive holds to prevent injury, and it's quite easy to increase/decrease the intensity
