[@FROZEMisCOLD]

Great stuff men... oh yeah Michael or Rebecca- y does the ref tell people to look at their hand while pulling??

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

Most arm breaks happen when pullers aren’t looking at their hand. Because much as when you look off to the side while driving.. you leave your lane. When pullers look away they twist their bodies. Arm break.

[@FROZEMisCOLD]

@@MonsterMichaelTodd ouch,thank u soo much for answering my question, I was really curious, I'll be training my arm for pulling soon, I play poker every week with my buddies and I wanna arm wrestle them 🙂🙂

[@alden2826]

Hey Michael, could you do a series of fundamentals for beginners when it comes to training or something? Ty sir!

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]

👊👍

[@alden2826]

Thanks so much man. You and devon have made me so interested in Armwrestling and I just started training. Would love to see what are the best main exercises to do from one of the greatest. Thanks dude

[@josemarquez9625]

My belief when it comes to 1rep pulls is that you should condition yourself overtime for that 1rep. The way muscle fibers grow from exercises depend on the type of such exercises tearing, healing, and becoming accustomed to such things. Your body adapts overtime by how you program it and the circuit style training is best because of the function strength gained from multiple reps of your normal 70 percent capacity. A few reps just push towards a body building, muscle mass body. It’s probably a fundamental flaw that ppl like chaffe and denis go by that approach to gain strength but Michael combines both weight resistance with circuit training for an overall better arm wrestling body. In the down season would be where Michael might benefit from shocking his muscles for a month or so with that style of training but as an active season athlete his approach leads to better longevity for the sport.

[@hemingway3508]

Why do you lift your elbows so high during curls? Arent you supposed to keep your elbows tucked in?

[@MonsterMichaelTodd]
