ARM WRESTLING TRAINING RECOVERY (Best Tips)

Being 6 or something years in armwrestling and sport science I really have learned a lot about my body, if I start to feel some pain or discomfort, I basically imediatly know what is the cause of it, and can work on muscle tightness, mobility issues, tendon pain etc. I really recommend for everyone to work with your body and not against it, listen and feel what it has to say. If something is bothering you -STOP, start analysing your training process, latest fights, mybe some minor injuries that you havent paid much attention to. Do some critical thinking, find out how your body works, how it adapts to stress, how fast it recovers, cause for everyone its different, what others say and do could be useless to you. Also it helps to know some anatomy, physiology! Put a lot of effort in recovey and your body will reward you with strength you didnt know you even had!

Sleep is the hardest to manage for me. I average only 5 hours a day, and very rarely sleep longer than that. It has been this way my whole life.

You should make a video were you how to pull in straps and how to get advance from it. When you should try to get straps and how you pull diferently when strapped.

[@christothecore3038]

Yeah man after a hard session at the table I find that I need a good 2 or 3 days of really light blood flow exercises before I can even think about lifting remotely heavy. Ice has helped a ton with inflammation

[@kaizah1997]

What do you guys think of Toddzilla's philosophy? He said that the body will ADAPT to any kind of routine if you do it enough. I heard him say that in one of Bowen's videos when he visited Todd. Do you guys think that he's wrong and that's just body strategy that you can't change?

[@zoranlivopoljac]

True

[@johnbraucher1499]

How would a veteran who is known as the king of side pressure, be wrong about something thats made him extremely successful? Toddzilla wouldn't just give out false information either. Not saying it in a rude or mean way I'm just letting you know in general. Chances are it's true if it comes from Todd.

Have you tried hot cold method like Thor does it ? 10 min in hot tub, then 3 minutes in cold tub (or freezer filled with water). Repeat 3 times

Recovery is pretty annoying. I’m usually so beat up from table practise that I can’t do any of the exercises that I see on your channel or else I won’t be ready for next week’s table practise.

It’s a little to late but just rest it till you don’t feel any pain

[@guitar300k]

for me I didn't feel the guns help much, I don't know why, just feel that

[@marcusmouya]

Much of your advice here is wrong and based on opinions rather than facts. There are no studies saying heat and cold therapy with ice, showering, baths etc. helps with recovery. It can ease pain, yes, but it doesn't speed up tendon or muscle recovery. There is actually a lot of data saying cold therapy straight after training reduces hypertrophy. When you do a hypertrophy focused workout the muscle heals itself by becoming inflamed so you do not want to cool down your body in that process. For footballers who are not trying to add muscle but reduce inflammation to be able to run every day it works, yes, but we are not trying to armwrestle everyday, but to add strength, armwrestling is a strength sport. Any expert in tendon and ligament injuries knows that only massaging the facia and doing light reps helps with the bloodflow and recovery.

[@kingwillie206]

I don’t rely on it alone, but it certainly helps when incorporated into a routine. Thor does it religiously and I never saw any issues with hypertrophy with him as a 450lb strongman.

Hi Ray, i built my routine and i see it work on table. But after table time, it's hurt like hell and i can not do any excercise event chest/ shoulder and it's last so long so i can't repeat my routine like i set up before. Should i take 1 week to do rehab/ recover and next week will start the routine again? Thanks Coach Ray and Sr for my bad english.

[@kingwillie206]

No, you should continue to work through the pain by doing therapeutic exercises in high rep ranges, full range of motion for blood flow. It will help you recover faster by forcing nutrients into muscles, tendons, and ligaments. You should get two buckets of water, one with ice water and the other with hot water at 110-115 degrees F, then put one arm in each bucket and switch every 30 seconds to 1 min right after pulling hard.

[@HateLoveHP]

@@kingwillie206 thanks a lot bro.

[@kingwillie206]

@@HateLoveHP - No problem. The rep range is 20-50 and keep the weight light enough that you never go to failure. All you are looking for is blood flow to the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, particularly ligaments and tendons because blood flows through them very slowly compared to muscle. Go for a good pump only. You will find out over time that your therapeutic training weight will increase as time goes on through shear volume as opposed to intensity. High Intensity is for the table once every two weeks for most 1-2 year pullers and once per week for 2+ years of consistency. Heavy weight lifting can be done when there is no practice or no matches and you still need high intensity training. You can also do table time once every two weeks and train heavy weights on the same day every two weeks and switch back and forth between weights and table time as long as you max out only once per week on either. Just make sure you have someone show you which lifts to go heavy on and how to avoid injury to your wrists, elbows, and shoulders. Managing table time, gains with weights, diet, and recovery is the secret.

[@HateLoveHP]

@@kingwillie206 thanks you for your guide. Now I'm doing table time once a week and depend on the feeling of arm after practise that I will do light weight or heavy weight on Tuesday or Wednesday, then push exercises on Thursday, rehab on Friday and rest on Saturday. Table time on Sunday again. How do you think? Thanks again.

[@kingwillie206]

@@HateLoveHP - No heavy weights the same week after maxing out at practice. Only go heavy if you choose to pull weaker guys and work on technique. You must choose between heavy weights and max effort practice. You can lift heavy on benchpress, shrugs, and some other powerlifting movements, but not armwrestling specific exercises.
