Nov 22, 2009 9:48am i just read all of your tips on arm wrestling. i really learned alot from you today. I do have a question though, so for average people who arent professional arm wrestlers, muscle has almost nothing to do with winning? It's all about the joints and tendons?

Sep 29, 2009 7:02am TIP #19 Part 2 - In order to do this you must set up with your partner with your wrist on wrist, not grabbing each others hand like ArmWrestling. Just make a fist with your hand and lock wrists together. This usually puts you into a hook position. You now have the ability to pull hard without fatiguing your hand and wrist. You can build a lot of stopping power using this method and I believe it should be implemented into your training schedule if you want to develop stopping power.

Sep 29, 2009 6:58am TIP #19 - POWERPULLING
As I have stated before, your hand and wrist take a lot of abuse in this sport and can fatigue very easily if you're not careful. If you would like to generate more power in a static position, i.e. losing position, centre table position, then power pulling is for you. It eliminates the pressure on your hand and wrist and allows you to train harder and longer in these positions without reaching failure.

Sep 29, 2009 6:57am Tip #18 Foot Positioning. In order to generate power to its potential you must be balanced at the table. If pulling right handed, place your right foot centered under the table, your left foot should be pressed against the left outside table leg and you should have a small bend .in your legs. You want to feel like you would fall if you let go of your opponents hand. When you begin you post off of your right leg and squat with your left leg. Dont twist your body when you do this.

Sep 29, 2009 6:52am Tip #17 - recovering from losing position in a hook. This is a tough but do-able. Once in the losing position you have to concentrate on your finger position, you have to drive your elbow forward to the top of the pad while turning your fingers so they are facing the ceiling and in one motion pull your opponents hand towards you using your lat for power, almost the same idea as a chin-up using your opponents hand as the bar, this move will put you in a more offensive position

Sep 29, 2009 6:49am TIP #16 - Be respectful to all members at the table including the opponent accross from you and mostly the referees....Rememebr that the referee's word is always final. Disrespect at the table wether you win or lose is the worst thing that a competitor could display at a competition....
