Subscapularis, infraspinatus, wrist extensors and flexors, latissimus dorsi, teres major,
pectoralis major, posterior deltoid, biceps, brachialis, brachiroadialis all muscles (and
some other) involved in arm wrestling.
The forearm muscles (wrist extensors, flexors, brachioradialis), biceps, and rotator cuffs
(here infraspinatus, subscapularis) should be paid the most attention. The exercises you
should emphasize on concerning these muscles:
Forearms (wrist extensors, flexors):
* Wrist curls (BB or better DB because in arm wrestling you only use one arm).
Brachioradialis:
* Overhand grip DB, BB or E-Z bar curls and/or
* Hammer curls
Brachialis, Biceps:
* Preacher curls
* Standing bicep curl (BB and/or DB)
Pectoralis major:
* Bench press
Latissimus dorsi & Teres major:
* Lat pull-down
* Dips
* Bent-over row
Subscapularis:
* Dumbbell or Cable internal rotation
-If you haven't done these before workout with light weights!
Infraspinatus & Posterior deltoid:
* Dumbbell or Cable external rotation
-If you haven't done these before workout with light weights!
* Bent-over row
For more info. about these muscles and how to do all of these
exercises above, see: http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html
You may also want to incorporate isometrics (especially for forearms) for strength,
tolerance to lactic acid accumulation (LA causes muscle fatigue).
