Rediculous Arm strength

[the_alcatraz]

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.

I know some strongmen did professional armwrestling before...

years ago, i was at a bachlor party and some of the bigger guys, not drunk yet, started their usual macho way of acting. my grade school friend who i hadent seen in 10 years was there , all 6' 160#'s, and then the arm wresteling challenges came up. my buddy beat all these guys soooooo ez. he's a carpenter and i guess the motion of hammering 8 hourrs a day developed certain muscles in his wrist, arm, shoulder, etc.., that the normal bb curl and tricept, shoulder work wont develope.
just a training idea for you.
good luck

Actually, one of the best exercises for arm wrestling to develop wrist strength is using a sledge hammer.

It's excellent. We used to do that in highschool wrestling. It develops your grip strength and hand strength

Yes, I'm trying to maintain my size and muscle mass while losing some fat.
