How to Arm Wrestle : Arm Wrestling Exercises

[TheRationalTeller]

This guy doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Grip strength is not a common practice among arm wrestlers. Don't take my word for it though..look up Devon Larratt (currently ranked #1 in the world), or John Brzenk (the best ever, the legend). Wrist work, however, is essential. Hand training as cross training for endurance to assist with holding weights (as in bicep or hammer curls) or doing chinups will help, but that's it.

[Nnnarekkk]

that plastic thing doesn't do anything Better get a set of high quality ones

[SunElectra2010]

holy crap someone gets a little defensive about sexist remarks, im not a misogynist* at all but to scroll down the comments and only see your gender comments on an arm wrestling video is just stupid

[AndyHarglesis]

Though most common in men, misogyny also exists in and is practiced by women against other women or even themselves. Misogyny functions as an ideology or belief system that has accompanied patriarchal, or male-dominated societies for thousands of years and continues to place women in subordinate positions with limited access to power and decision making. Women in Western cultures are objectified with its culturally sanctioned self-loathing and fixations on plastic surgery, anorexia and bulimia.

[AndyHarglesis]

"Misogyny .... is a central part of sexist prejudice and ideology and, as such, is an important basis for the oppression of females in male-dominated societies."

"Misogyny is manifested in many different ways, from jokes to pornography to violence to the self-contempt women may be taught to feel toward their own bodies."

Misogyny is the reason for a such a sexist society and devaluation of females for everything.

[AndyHarglesis]

No gender is better than the other.

There's always pros and cons, but to say females are lesser than males as a whole by gender alone is pure misogyny.

[AndyHarglesis]

@PBLero Also, a "pervert" reads as this:

Alter (something) from its original course, meaning, or state to a distortion or corruption of what was first intended."

It either means the above or sexual disturbances in individuals. The poster devalued female's brains, female's physical capacities and basically females as a whole as human beings.

That's not "perverted" it's sexist. Basically along the same lines as a typical misogynist, or woman hater, beliefs of females being lesser valued by sex.

[AndyHarglesis]

@PBLero Your fantasies don't conform to a real basis on sexism.

[BlauweWafels]

expertvillage :s

[jello79585]

Lmao this guy looks like Rambo!



[phantomhockeyzero]

underground arm wrestling? Is that your basement with your sister and her friends?

[TheGodSaiyanX]

Men & women are eqaul, not one of them is better than another sex gender.

[Ashbeat1209]

@TheGodSaiyanX not true proven fact men produce more muscles and are naturaly stronger than women women have naturally higher fat percentage then men

[KennAndJoshieGoRawr]

@Ashbeat1209 they have more fat because females are more important in the species. :p

[Ashbeat1209]

@KennAndJoshieGoRawr ok i will agree with you

[KennAndJoshieGoRawr]

@TheGodSaiyanX and men are proven to be better at many things. Proven psychologically, as well as physicly.

[AndyHarglesis]

@KennAndJoshieGoRawr Bullshit!

That's not proven anywhere that men are "proven" better at "many" things. That's complete bullshit.

[biestbars]

wow, oha, boa, he is a socerer

[EmericanGangstarr]

what if you put a grip stregthener in your mouth?

[RANGERmw2]

i am a guy i like the sport i i asure you that thing works

[ThePunjabdholi123456]

does it help you punch harder

[63falcondude]

expert village is horse shit

[GeorgeBadea02]

if this guy is a armwrestling champion.....:)))))

[MrPAULONEAL]

i hope you don't try to join the army

[MrPAULONEAL]

that thing is weak...

[BENebuchadnezzar]

get a proper grip ffs, this one's a plastic piece of shit. A kid can go for hundreds easily. Train your forearm like you train the rest of your body, go heavy, go low reps and increase resistance.

[Xx0lliexX]

I was wondering: Are you allowed to bend your wrist to take the opponent down?

Thanks

[TheRationalTeller]

One more thing, grip training and armwrestling involve major use of the forearm flexors..that means that prioritizing both goals will produce training overlap, potential overtraining, and failure to achieve maximum results on both.  If you want to develop a powerful grip, train for it by buying stronger hand grippers (captains of crush grippers) from ironmind.com. If you want to develop the appropriate armwrestling skills, than watch a video of Alexey Voevoda train..Best wishes!

[TheRationalTeller]

Very very bad video of training..these hand grippers have only small poundages of force (~40 lbs), and finger pressure plays only minor importance in armwrestling. The most important aspect is the wrist and bc armwrestling involves the application of maximal strength, training should reflect this. That means wrist curls with heavy weight, not the expenditure of energy on cheap and weak hand grippers that will fatigue you and take away from a program of good training.

[headcaseman]

Grippers are great for the hands and forearms but only heavy duty grippers. These plastic ones are useless. I used to train with them and all that happens is you end up spending hours doing hundreds and hundreds of reps and end up with no result.

Train hard (but not too hard) with CoCs or HGs and you'll see some fantastic results in both forearm mass and hand strength within a few months.

[righteousrat]

Thank you so much for this video. I have 3 grippers-- 100 lbs, 150, and 200 and I've never really been sure how many reps I should do so I just squeeze until failure pretty much. This video helps me plan it a little better for more effective results. This is a pretty old video, but I hope you will get this because I have a question: Do you have to squeeze the grips together for it to count as 1 repetition or is it enough to squeeze them parallel to each other? Thank you.

[BENebuchadnezzar]

@righteousrat together, if you can. And do low reps, like 12, 10, 8 or something similar (but be sure to go to failure, if you don't, go heavier)

[GordonFreeman70]

Johnny Rambo!?!?! Kickass name dude. Thank your dad, whats his name? John? Lol im just kidding. No really is his name JOHN??

[PunkMartyr]

theres no way your dad named your johnny rambo but if he did you should call him once a day and thank him for a badass name

[bwade88]

amen!

[executioner900]

i agree with what you said

[skinnbone260]

where do i get a grip thing from?

[YouTubed]

look up heavy grips or captain of crush.

[MrStreck]

fuckin rambo what a badass your lucky

[caryg4tz]

i only just turned 15 what amount of resistance should i use?

[executioner900]

i recommend you an ordinary plastic gripper

[kbi35]

get the COC trainer or HG100 or HG150. You hands get strong very quickly. My 77 yr old father been training for two weeks. HG100. His max was 30 reps, now he is doing 40. I been training for 6 weeks. Was doing 40-50 reps on the 150..Now I'm doing 100 reps. Got the 200 and 250.. The 250 is pretty tough.. But did 12 reps when I first opened then. I also do levering. Pinch griping. Ripping. reverse/hammer curls.. And of course extensor work.

[farhanpimpen]

tht waz helpful fnx :)

[paullovrey]

@shitfaced44 well yea you sound like a lil wanker!

[AndyHarglesis]

@shitfaced44 FUCKING SEXIST SCUMBAG!!!!

[Emil652]

@AndyHarglesis How the fuck is that sexist?Stop bitching, whore.

[AndyHarglesis]

@Emil652 Because it's ignorant and blatantly assuming that only males masturbate, or only a male is in need of doing so to get a stronger grip.

Suddenly females don't exist? Our opposite gender with an equal population suddenly vanishes when we surf on weightlifting videos?

I swear some of you people on here have no brains.....Seriously. The ignorance level of people, especially the ones on strengthening/weight training videos, is absolutely sad.

And females masturbate too....So sexist.

[Emil652]

@AndyHarglesis Haha, fail. Men masturbate more, we're not discriminating you from anything. Sexism isn't present. Deal with it, men are better than women.

[AndyHarglesis]

@Emil652 No, actually, nowadays, it's a joke to assume that males masturbate more. Pretty much the majority of women and girls have caught up with male masturbation levels lately, you're just too ignorant to know that.

You can think whatever you want, but until you know and have talked to many a females and women you know shit. So stop assuming shit, okay? Nothing you're saying is accurate enough for a generalization.....

And men are not better than women. If any thing, they're worse. :P

[Emil652]

@AndyHarglesis Heh, you've still not proven how that comment was sexist, men are better than women. Stop using 5th grade vocabulary without having a sense of the definition.

[AndyHarglesis]

@Emil652 Did you not read the other 3 comments I wrote that proved it to you already?

I mean you're being a dumbass again by avoiding them or failing to read them.

[AndyHarglesis]

@Emil652 Plus, the post had nothing to do with the fact that males masturbate more it was an ignorant and arrogant assumption that males are the only gender that masturbate.

I mean if you had any common sense you'd realize that the comment was written with no appreciation or consideration for the poster's opposite gender, which is most likely female.

[Emil652]

@AndyHarglesis And as the guy that you were bitching about say '' just jack off a lot," he never meant just men or women. It won't matter either way. Sexism is discrimination because of a person's sex. So stop your bitchin!

[AndyHarglesis]

@Emil652 Um...."jack off" is a term used to denote male-masturbation, so yeah it is sexist. It's discrimination because the ignorance of that poster assumed that only males are trying to get stronger grips or masturbating and that females had no involvement in either of those two things.

It IS discrimination because it's ignorance and unappreciation of the other gender. There are different levels of sexism, you know?

[chaplain327]

@shitfaced44 ive tried it dosent work you still cant beat a black guy

[raduz123]

@shitfaced44 I tried that but have ended up with repetitive strain injury instead.

[AndyHarglesis]

@shitfaced44 SEXIST

[shotgunstark]

Like I sais before...idiot in the video has never seen or ever been to a real Armwrestling Event!!! Get your facts straight before you attempt another video like this jackass!!!!!

[4ormonamy]

How many sets should i do in a day??

I have a 30 lbs Hand gripper

[avatarion]

30lbs is too light for any adult. get one over 100lbs and make 8-15 reps with it. then after you manage to do that get a new gripper about 20-50 lbs stronger depending how you feel.. continue this way....

[4merCIA]

50 lbs EACH dumbell I meant to say, 12 reps, 6 sets, with short reps to total failure on last set.

[LordSirpiko]

you cant put this man down i see his fore arm very well he looks just like myself im 178lbs he does look maybe 8-12 years older.

but you can tell this man knows what hes talkin about.

i however agree that it is in wrist strength, if your doin 50 lbs on a rope wrist curls thats very impressive

[4merCIA]

I forgot to mention below that I am over 60 years old and I do dumbell wrist curls with 50lbs, 12 reps, 6 sets. I admit that your weight class explains why you think that 50 lbs is impressive but I weigh 279 lbs and 50 is easy. But I still say that those grippers are for old women with arthritis. Most guys who are pretty strong stopped using those grippers when they were kids and started using the spring clamps they sell in hardware stores which are much more powerful.

[TEAMARKANSAS01]

i am 135lbs and i agree 50 is easy, plus a 30lbs gripper i can close with my pinkie, get one thats like 250lbs and then close it like 10 15 times and ill be impressed,(by the way the last part was for mr. rambo and all those who think he know what hes talking about)

[4merCIA]

Those grippers are for old women with arthritis. Yeah, I can tell your forearms are pretty strong but not compared to a lot of guys in this sport. If you use the kind of clamps they sell in Home Depot or Lowes, to hold boards together etc, the medium ones have 2 to 3 times the power as these grippers. Try them, that's what I use plus wrist curls with 50 lbs.

[JLPbeats]

Wow rambo

[ballbagbaggins]

those grippers are crap you need something designed for strength building

[varungoku]

lol john rambo?

[Crystalglassman10]

weight training is good for arm wrestling but you can lift the heaviest weight in the gym and that does not mean your going to win an armwrestling mantch. I am a strongman competitor and I weight train every day but when i 1st started armwrestling about 7 months ago I was gettin my ass handed to me by people a lot lighter and weaker than i am. Weight training is just good for any sport. and grippers rule nobody will want to pull ya if you crush there hand:)

[SilverApe1428]

I feel you man. Ive experienced the same thing. I can lift weights and am strong and yet lose arm wrestling matches against weaker people.

[kypuller79]

you may be lifting heavier weight than them but tendons are your factor in armwrestling. I know what you mean, I've beat guys with world bench records. You can be strong but have weak tendons.

[SilverApe1428]

So will these exercises make my tendons stronger or what? What can u do to strengthen ur tendons?

[TEAMARKANSAS01]

for armwrestling? just armwrestle alot

[M0vir]

you will damage your hands

[heirlume]

@Crystalglassman10 practise and technique is vital in arm wrestling. but if you got muscle, that makes the first bit easier :)

[murderface0666]

that was to dekod29

[originalname987]

[streetfightermatt]

Wrists grips are not designed to put on muslce. they simply give you strenth in your hands and fore arms.

[blindskater200]

dekode29 you need to shut the fuck up,your not funny at all and straight guys jackoff too, what do you do at night? you probably give your boyfriend head

[mattitude14]

lol

[bobhopps]

wow ur such a fuckig faggot dekode29

[murderface0666]

thats how you tell if somone is gay lol

[ironsheik7]

im pretty strong, and do alotta forearm work and even grip training and i cant arm wrestle for shit...guess ur ither good at it or u suck

[bf6067]

I would expect it would take strong forearms to arm wrestle. Does the gripper strengthen the forearms and build the forearm muscles? Sorry but my computer is running very slow today and so I can no see this video correctly.

[peacemaker908]

Ever heard of something called weight training.

[Nat3skiz]

weight training doesn't necessarily make you a good arm wrestler.

[peacemaker908]

True, but Im just saying it would get your arm stronger a lot faster than using the 'gripper' Those things barely provide any resistance.

[Nat3skiz]

yeh but the amount of reps he's doing shows us he's mainly using it for endurance training. so he can last in the bout.

[CeMRuLZ]

Videos: 76,406

[TheBurninatorr]

I noticed that... probably the most on Youtube.

[xxl606]
