Arm Wrestling Mastery: Beyond Pushups, Unleashing Strength Training Strategies for Victory

-
Kelpplays YT asked "Why is that I'm going to the gym and getting weaker like I'm losing the arm wrestling matches that I won before going to gym, but my pushups and reps are increasing"

Hey Kelpplays YT,

It's quite understandable that you're feeling like your arm-wrestling game is taking a step back despite making progress in your pushups. Let's break down why that might be happening and how we can get you back on the winning track.

Strength training is an intricate dance between various factors, not just the number of reps or sets you can complete. Arm wrestling demands a unique blend of strength, technique, and strategy.

While pushups are an excellent exercise for building overall upper body strength, they don't directly translate into the specific movements and angles involved in arm wrestling. Arm wrestling is more about pulling than pushing, and it engages a broader range of muscles, including the forearms, lats, and core.

To excel in arm-wrestling, we need to tailor our training to target these specific muscle groups and movements. Lauren Price (the co-owner of Lava Barre, a specialized fitness boutique) and JJ Antonio (an arm-wrestling enthusiast and blogger) both advised incorporating exercises like hammer curls, wrist curls, bicep curls, tricep dips, triceps kickbacks, pronation forearm flex, thumb-less reverse curls, thumb-less dumbbell shrugs, pull ups with wrist engagement, rack pull, plate pinch grip strength, and others, to strengthen those muscles.

Even wringing out a wet towel can be a cheap but effective way to develop a good forearm, hand, and wrist for your arm-wrestling gains. You just have to do it daily with tons of reps.

Technique and strategy are equally important in arm wrestling. Mastering maneuvers like the "Top-Roll", the "Hook" and the “Finish”, as JJ Antionio mentored, can give you a significant edge over your opponents. It's like having a secret weapon that can turn the tide off the match.

Remember, strength training is a journey, not a destination. There will be ups and downs along the way, but it's important to stay focused and keep pushing forward. Just like the farmer in Isaiah 28:24-29, who meticulously prepares the soil for different crops, we too need to prepare our bodies with the right exercises and techniques.

24 "Does the farmer plow all day long to sow seed? Does he continually turn up the soil and break it up? 25 After he has leveled the ground, does he not sow dill and cumin? Does he not plant wheat in the proper rows, and barley in the appointed place? 26 He levels the ground with care, planting each kind of grain according to its own need. 27 He threshes the grain with a sledge or a cartwheel, but he does not thresh it until it is thoroughly crushed. 28 Even this he does with understanding. his God instructs him and teaches him. 29 Truly, the Lord of hosts gives understanding in all these matters." (Isaiah 28:24-29)

Just as the farmer is guided by his knowledge and experience, we too can seek guidance and wisdom from experienced trainers and mentors.

So, my friend, let's continue our arm-wrestling journey with strategic moves, powerful muscles, and the wisdom to conquer our Goliaths. May the power of David and the wisdom of Solomon guide you on your path to victory.

I hope this helps!

Sincerely,

Strength Training with Gary
