Mastering the Hook: Techniques for Winning at Arm Wrestling

[@Alex-1750]

Great video as always guys, as for the hook I think Prudnik’s hook is touching perfection , one of the best I’ve ever seen performing it even since he wasn’t that muscular as now..

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

The way he gains control is incredible.

Thank you Coach and Janis for the comprehensive look at the hook movement-I think top roll would be my speciality,but it's good to have multiple tools in the box ye?

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Its better to know.

[@gabrielc6252]

The safest method is the drag hook, while pivoting your shoulders to prevent injury. It's the closest type of hook to the natural movement of the arm

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Safest is not always most effective.

Glad you like them!

[@kaizah1997]

Great video as always! I wish in the future you’d cover shoulder toproll (idk what is it called), the toproll that is performed attacking the wrist, you lean down the table and lie behind your arm low, and at the ready-go you aim to pounce on his wrist to bend it. That’ll be a great video to give tips upon.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Can you give a video example?

[@anthony9356]

Voice of Armwrestling He might be referring to What Jerry Cadorette did to Todd Hutchings in WAL 505. Doesnt Vlad do something similar too.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Thats triceps press.

[@kaizah1997]

Voice of Armwrestling Apparently it falls in the category of Low Hand Toproll, but so rarely see low hand toprollers do it. Ryan Bowen has made a video about it called “Low Hand toproll in straps” he does the move at 3:35

[@Ak353-d7u]

If you start attacking/opening someone's bicep with your tricep ei hook or press with your shoulder behind it not a flop wrist does that always mean you have an advantage?

[@tka6781]

Finding I'm getting tendon pain with lefty doing toproll side pressure, trying to learn a hook instead since no feeling of pressure on the affected tendon (feels like golfer's elbow).

[@raulachimet6293]

[@cassiusgaio9524]

What is the difference between a tricep hook and a shoulder roll?

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

I would say If shoulder roll fails you lose you hand and have less options. Triceps hook is going into movement by pressing inward with triceps.

My problem is I have a good top roll no hook and a very strong press so it's hard for me to transition

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Its hard to transition from toproll to Press?

[@hemingway3508]

Why transition from toproll to press. Just start with the dead wrist press and its all good. No need to train hook or toproll if you say your press is good. Focus on that.

[@WolfPackProductions1320]

@@voiceofarmwrestling yes exactly sometimes I can start in a top roll and open them up for a second and slip in and press

[@hemingway3508]

@@Alex-1750 Not really. How is the dead wrist press dangerous? Never seemed like snap city to me. It's an great main style cause you dont have to waste time training cupping or pronation. I have never trained cupping, Supination or pronation. Just biceps, Triceps and sparring.

Is this your first time watching armwrestling?

[@nvmffs]

@@voiceofarmwrestling First time watching this kind of armwrestling, yeah. I'm pretty sure I can win all matches if I do that. Taller people may be able to do it even more efficiently.

[@rainyriderr1112]

It's way harder than it sounds. Your hand can't touch your shoulder at any point or it's a foul. You have to have super strong triceps to be able to press someone down

[@nvmffs]

@@rainyriderr1112 True but isn't the triceps much stronger than the biceps? I always thought it's pretty hard to defend against it but it never occurred to me it's hard to execute. I'm not even sure the triceps plays a huge rule at the point when you're fully behind your hand. You're pressing down with your bodyweight and essentially just resting on top of your opponent's biceps. Even if they're super strong your path to the opposite pad is blocked, how are you supposed to win? You'll be forced to commit an elbow foul if you try to get around that shoulder.

[@rainyriderr1112]

​@@nvmffs The triceps tends to be stronger, however it also means you have to get on top of someone. Risk for breaking your arm is way higher too. I'm an inside presser and there's a huge amount of risk to breaking your humerus bone. The triceps play a huge part because if the person you're pulling against can pull you into your shoulder, it's a foul for you. When you look at his press, you have to consider that if someone pulled you fast or hard enough, he could make the presser foul. The path isn't blocked necessarily, the person's frame is just in the way. People can definitely be rolled over if you do it right. Pressing is also weak if the user has weaker pronation, if the other person can keep his wrist up, pressing is super difficult to close out. Hope this helps a bit
