Alexey Voevoda just did an expo in Russia where he talks about the importance of finger strength. "Like a strike by a martial artist or boxer," he says, "deliver power at the fingers first, then the hand, wrist, arm, etc." Their techniques are a little different though. Alexey relies on that explosive, almost perfect timing. He also moves his entire body with his hand and arm as one. Travis holds them in tight, waits for the opponent to break uniformity, and then makes his move.

Travis Bagent has the strangest technique. He does the EXACT opposite that Devon Larratt does. Bagent is all about the pin line, he's all about side pressure, he thinks working out in the gym is better than being on the table and he just lets the opponent decide how they want to go at it when he just slams hard with side pressure. He's fast and it's obviously very effective. He doesn't seem to have much wear and tear on his joints like larratt, who has his calcified elbow with limited range of motion. However, I can't find any information on Bagent and his Training techniques.
@iairon76097 жыл бұрын
VikingII side pressure is fine if you balance it out with the opposite movement
@jasonvoorhees88996 жыл бұрын
Iairon its hard to balance it out though , side pressure puts a very demanding stress of the internal rotation which is hard to duplicate for the external.
@rdmcabee6 жыл бұрын
You bring up an interesting point. If you say two guys have a 20 year armwrestling career, but how long were they physically pulling in matches. Just in competition Bagent has probably been pulling 1/4 as long as Larratt, because he ends matches quickly and concedes quicker if he is in a bad position.

According to Wolfes law your fingers can get stronger (ie. bone density or a build up of callus making fingers thicker), but Travis is right there is no such thing as strong fingers. There are no muscles in the fingers to get stronger. All your fingers are controlled by muscles in the hand and forearm.

false grip is great for elite arm wrestling where you let the ref bring you to center and dont let your opponent pressure up into you hand ( a no / minimal back pressure start) takes a lot of time to perfect the feel and timing of it! Need to put in a lot of table time to make it work :)
