Arm wrestling champ

[kingbigdaddy1220]

Ok so i have a new goal, to be really strong at arm wrestling. Were talking John Brzenk strong.

Maybe bigbench can help me out with this, what training routine would u reccomend for arm wrestling strength and how many times a week.?

That means you'll have to stop masturbating,its too repetitious.

hey
I saw the nurse today for my yearly checkup.
She said that I have to stop masturbating.
When I ask why that was
She said because she is trying to examine me.

First if you google this you can find some good information as Arm Wrestling is a well supported sport! You even catch it on ESPN and ESPN-II. Most of these guys do workouts that are a kind of blend between power lifting style workouts and body building style.

So you should work the big compound movements first really heavy like around 6X6 for the things like Squat,Deadlift,Standing Shoulder Press,Shrugs,Barbell Curls,Flat Bench, decline and incline bench, various rowing movements, wrist curls and reverse wrist curls,thors hammer with free weights etc..........

Then you need to pick assistance type exercise's like various isolation type movements done with dumbellsusuly in the 10-12 rep range and sets of 4-5 on each.....

Some guys like to toss in Olympic Lifts like the Snatch used to be done with barbell but more and more of these guys are useing Kettlebells in place of barbell for the Olympic movements which is the corner stone of their ballistic element.

Most of the really competitive guys look like they could almost be body builders except they are truly as strong as they look and they tend to be rock hard.

Its a heavy duty sport ,there's videos on youtube where guys break there arms.

Training specificity. Play with an adjustable cable and mimic the motion of arm wrestling as much as you can. Think reverse rotator cuff movement.

actually i have a friend in Hell's Kitchen i gotta visit tonite, he's depressed hanging out at home since he broke his upper arm while arm-wrestling last week. he does powerlifting n didnt think of himself as vulnerable, but honestly i've never seen him get much calcium in his diet.

he said everyone around him heard the bone pop before he noticed the MASSIVE ache. he was pretty drunk tho...

I worked with an ex-pro arm wrestler. he had only been beat twice. I challanged him for shitts and giggles and it was unreal. I had never been beaten so quick in my life. bamn! done. I never stood a chance.

he would practice by going to bars and arm wrestle for beer.

I consider myself an awesome arm wrestler, I have been doing it since my early teens but the pros are just crazy. They use so much technique for their opponents it is amazing. You could out lift them but this would be meaningless as they are using muscles you didn't even know you had!

I went to college with Bubba Ray Duddly from the WWE, he was a few years older then me and for some strange reason I decided to arm wrestle him during some Greek Week competition he was judging. He was just starting out in wrestling and was just starting in ECW, well, he almost ripped my arm off. This was before I ever tried any sort of AAS and was just strong, well, he showed me what strong was.

Training specificity - you get good at what you train at.

My father grew up in upstate New York and tells me about going to see lumberjacks as a boy. They would arm wrestle with two lit candles at either side. The meaner guys wouldn't just beat you, they'd hold you. Sounds intense.
