Also Devon’s wrist is the most kicked back out of any other person I’ve seen, and has his top knuckle the most risen upward than anyone else I’ve seen. Nobody is actually lifting it like Devon is, not even coach Ray. That’s why he usually always kicks the others persons hand back and established his riser even on the losing side. Even levans wrist kicked back a little. Levan just has way to much power and side pressure

[@buckenfuzz]

I started doing rising, cupping, pronation, and backpressure a year ago, with emphasis on pronation. I started at 40lbs, focusing on good form. Havent done 1RM in awhile, but my working weight for pronation at this point is around 82 lbs.

If it is good for hand control then it does it's duty, but I think the lifting done without thick handles such as pronation lifts doesn't translate to table. Did your friends are beating you before you start to lift? If yes, then we can say lifting helped you

@whynot8818 good point. Only one friend I can confirm a before and after. But, what I can say for sure is that in general, they are all larger frame than me. But, it may just be that I sort of know a lottle bit more about how to pull. High knuckle, cupped wrist, etc...

Good video Ray. Thank you. I have an exercise physiology background and seeing so many people duplicate a movement without thought or intention of the results drives me nuts. I do this with a karate belt with 90/90 degree bends. If I make sure the belt is open more on the back of hand. The vector just wants to rip my pronation open. If I close the belt I can do way way more. So it understanding lever length etc. that matters. If anyone wants to really work pronator. Make sure strap isn’t high on thumb.

[@jsmaelsartor595]

I was inspired by the devon lift and i made a different lift which still affect a lot the quadratus pronator, i don't even care about using the biceps and brachioradialis to lift the weight like in the devon's lift you still have to do, i hold the forearm with the other arm and the only thing i have to do it's holding the weight using literally only the pronator in a static way trying to hold the weight as much time as i can and it actually works (i improved a lot with the pronator in this way) but it's dangerous for the arm that have to hold the forearm and i stopped doing it only for this reason, now i only use the cables (which is still good and works all the arms and not only the pronators)

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

I sometimes support the forearm for cable lift pronation, since I can use MORE weight on it, but I don't just feel it in my pronators, I feel it in my bones haha. I don't feel it's more dangerous at all, but it's worth noting that you'll never replicate this feeling on table. It's always worth strengthening elbow flexion with pronation, because if you lose elbow angle you can still pronate, but if you lose pronation it's harder to keep elbow angle.

[@jsmaelsartor595]

@RDS_Armwrestling no, no, I wasn't doing it with the cables, it's not that easy to explain it here, i posted a video on that lift like months ago on my ig, however i never felt something on the bones and it's actually way more about the smallest pronator of the arm which is the most near to the hand and let you start to pronate your entire forearm, technically the devon lift it's more complete because it makes you work a lot with more muscles in a position applicable even on the table (for the arm itself) and it's not even dangerous to do it which makes his lift way better than what i made 😂😂😂 if i have to hold up my forearm with the other arm to only use the pronator, the other arm do not stay in a comfortable position and have to do what the bicep and brachioradialis of the main arm are not doing to isolate the pronator, consequences? Your tendons goes on fire and I'm serious when i say it, it's dangerous and for this reason I'll never do it again, you can even improve a lot with the pronator but you simply risk to injury the other arm while doing it

[@keithbeauchamp8603]

Devon doesn't stop working out.

[@PasseScience]

Noob question here: why working statically why not by example lift the thing and from the lifted position open and close the pronator for few repetitions ?

[@BenOfficial94]

Just not a realistic thing in a match, you want max static from neutral to slightly pronated. Not from losing your pronation to back flat. That's ok for light weights for rehab, but its not realistic to regain your pronation in a match, because once you're turned palm up, its generally lost for the duration of the match.

[@ChrisJaesun]

Dynamic exercises give better stimulus for muscle growth, but require lighter weights and thus do not give as much tension as static lifts. The high mechanical tension will give a higher stimulus to the tendons. I recommend doing both to get the best of both worlds, but if you just do one there will still be crossover. If you followed Devon closely, he actually did both too (he used bands for the dynamic exercise) but just talked about the static lift like it was way more important.

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

I always warm up with dynamic pronation, and get less and less dynamic the heavier it gets, meaning by my top sets and back off sets, it's completely static.

[@AdamLighter1]

@@RDS_Armwrestling Im sorry but thats not really smart. By moving dynamically, you train and warm up your muscle and more importantly nervous system to fire in a certain way, then you change it with higher weights = you are not warming up the best way possible for high effort static pronation lift. Furthermore, by going through the motion, you exhaust the muscle way more, compared to doing it statically, thus your intensity of your top sets (meant for strength gain) is lowered, and intensity is what you want for strength. Either way, unless you are a pro or close to your genetic limit, this wont make that much of a difference.

[@dakedakinson64]

Isnt that just just hammer curl?

[@samk2407]

It's really unlikely that your pronation will be what fails, unless you already had a crazy elbow flexor. It's almost always elbow flexion that limits this exercise for 90% of ppl. I personally think this exercise should be done with a towel or something on the back of the wrist to make it more even between pronation and back pressure

[@jameswebb3410]

Of course it's the pronation that fails first. It's a much smaller and weaker muscle than the elbow flexors.

[@TheDougmurphy]

Ummm this is a weird comment. Ever time it’s my pronation that fails. Well, if the strap is positioned correctly. It just peels me open.

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

Yeah if I'm hitting this lift and the weight isn't moving off the floor, it's because the small pronator teres and pronator quadradus can't stay locked on, not because the huge brachioradialis, brachialis, and biceps can't stay locked haha.

[@AdamLighter1]

it really is subjective, I would say for 70-80% of people their back pressure fails first. For me, my back pressure is weaker too, but thats not general public.

[@TheItalianZone]

From what i've seen devon does many sub maximal single reps throughout the day, probably like 75-85% of his max. Greasing the groove basically, so he's not maxing out, just getting close to the limit many times without fatiguing himself too much. It works for him but may not be the best prescription for everyone out there.

Kicking back makes it much harder because the pronator muscles are stronger when the wrist is cupped (and that's true, confirmed in a study), so if you can lift a big boy weight with your wrist bent back, you KNOW your pronators are strong as hell in neutral or cupped position.

All good except the dismissal of Devon's one lift. Before dismissing it you should consider why he's doing that. Maybe this does wonders protecting the muscle from injury in case you're lifting max weights.

You would have to pick it up a decent bit off the floor and hold your arm up as it rips your hand over in order to be turned completely palm up.

[@Neilpickpocket]

@@Armbender1085I think there is some truth to what you are saying here but I will argue that if your hand does turn up it is because you are failing or letting up on the other pressures/strengths that you are using to lift the weight. Pronation is not the first thing that will usually fail.....I find that I can lift the same amounts if I wrap the loop around both sides of my hand between the index finger and thumb ( as in straight up pressure not engaging pronation) or just have the belt wrap around the back side of my hand at the same spot with pronation engaged. Like I said some pronation comes along for the ride but it is way down the chain of muscles/tendons used in the lift.

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

If I can't lift a weight from the floor, it is because my hand begins to supinate from neutral, not because my elbow opens. I guess many armwrestlers really do have stronger pronators than elbow flexors, which is incredible to consider since the pronators are way, way smaller than all the muscles that flex the elbow.

Nobody is actually lifting it like Devon is, not even coach Ray. That’s why he usually always kicks the others persons hand back and established his riser even on the losing side. Even levans wrist kicked back a little. Levan just has way to much power and side pressure

@ this training gets you there

[@bismark911]

@ Nobody should like this training, but in my humble opinion you must first do it enough to criticize it. If you do this training for 10 days you will never understand. you have to be able to do it for at least 5/6 months....then once you have assimilated it, if you decide that it is not good then make your criticisms... but I highly doubt that anyone has gone through this process. I'm almost certain that those who criticize this training have done it for a few weeks, have repeatedly hurt themselves and come here to say that this training sucks 😂.
