arm wrestling

[bonez]

when u arm wrestle someone, stragety aside, what muscles come into play to determine who will win. Like is it whoever has the strongest biceps will win or what? (just using that as an example). Thanks just curious.

I'm not completely sure ( so don't quote me on this) but I would imagine that it would be primarily forearms and rotator cuffs.

everybody says forearms which is definitely a key...but i think the basis is the joint that connects the shoulder to the chest

like I said.....rotator cuffs

Yup, internal rotation to be exact.

on offense use your shouler and body weight never use your bicep...save the bicep for defense.

I think one of the rotator cuff muscles for internal rotation in the teres major which can be worked with most compound back exercises.

It's a lot about technique. U have to know how to use your full upper body to be good at it. Don't do this stuff for fun cause it's so easy to get injured armwrestling. If your doing if for money then practice. If it's just to beat friends to show who's tougher then outgrow it cause someone will get hurt!!!
