Rediculous Arm strength

[the_alcatraz]

Good bros,

I must ask the following question.

I understand that in order to build your overall strength, squats, deads, heavy presses, etc...are in order.

What happens if you want to carry on doing what you're doing, in my case DC training at the moment, but still add some form of training that will specifically target NOT so much building your arm size, but building ridiculous strength in your arms....for such purposes like arm wrestling, lifting really heavy during biceps / triceps training, being able to throw a football across the field, delivering retarded knockouts, etc...

Please refrain from jokes and funny ass posts good bros, this is a serious thread.

Discuss.

Well bro, however you do it, GO SLOW. I know you prolly already know this but tendonitis/tendonisis really sucks big time. So in your quest for mega strong arms just go slow and best of luck!

I think it all starts with grip strength. Fat bars, plate pinches, static holds, carries, odd object pinches, etc. Check out some of the Diesel Crew stuff.

good idea bro, diesel crew are obsessive about grip/hand strength!

Basically, in arm wrestling, apart from technique and speed, you need the following:

- hand strength
- grip strength
- forearm strength
- biceps / triceps / shoulder strength

guys who do arm wrestling professionally usually do a lot of curls with chains and what not. You should look into that. They have a bunch of videos posted up.

Also, a lot of the good arm wrestlers are ex-powerlifters. Basically bench press specialists have become arm wrestlers in the past. I forget the names but some of them have videos of their training up for you to see. Ask SouthernLord, BBlazer or Musketeerer for their names as I am sure they would be able to recall them.

arm wresting requires mainly forearm strength, and rotating cuff strength from the shoulder, tricep and biceps arent heavily used in an arm wrestle at all

I've competed in more than one arm wrestling competition and I do a lot of armwrestling....forearms are the most important, grip strength and hand strength come next....biceps, triceps and shoulders are really important as well....you would be surprised at how important these muscles are in arm wrestling...if you think you can pull it off jjust by having big forearms ur in for a surprise
