Most people think of arm wrestling as a competition of strength, but professional arm wrestlers know that technique is also very important in determining win-lose. The arm wrestling technique is also very dangerous, many athletes break their arms while arm wrestling, especially in the upper arm bone (humerus). Use this knowledge wisely and you should also learn how to Avoid Broken Arms while arm wrestling.
Step
Step 1. Put your right foot forward if you are arming with your right hand, and vice versa
Transfer your weight from the front leg to the back leg.
Step 2. Curl your thumb
After both athletes connect their hands, place your thumbs under your fingers. Thus the technique called top roll can be done more easily.
Step 3. Bring the abdomen close to the table
If you move your right leg forward, your right pelvis will rest against the table.
Step 4. Keep your upper arms close to your body
Thus, the strength of the body and arms will be used together.
Step 5. Do a high grip on your opponent's hand Place your fingers on top of your thumb nail
Step 6. Raise your wrist
This way, bending your opponent's wrist will make your grip stronger, as your opponent will have a hard time keeping his grip. If you can't, just keep your wrist straight.
Step 7. Pull your opponent into a corner (When you push your opponent down, pull his hand toward you) to expose your opponent's arms
When the angle of the opponent's arm is no longer good, the opponent must work hard to restore it.
Step 8. Use one of the following techniques, depending on the situation
- Hook – This technique is useful if your strength is equal to that of your opponent in either the upper arm, biceps, or both.
- Bend your wrist inward. This will elongate your opponent's arm, but then you'll have to use a lot of bicep strength.
- Maintain wrist contact throughout the match so that power is transmitted through the wrist instead of through the hand.
- Bring your body (especially your shoulders) over your arms and keep your torso and arms close together. Drag your opponent towards you as you push it down.
- Top roll – This move is more about support and not just strength. Apply pressure to the opponent's hand, force it open and make it difficult for the opponent to use his muscles.
- Bring your elbows close to each other. The resulting height will be to your advantage. Hold your opponent's hand as high as possible.
- As soon as the signal is spoken, pull your hand toward you so that your opponent's hand is away from his body. This will help you get a higher grip. In this technique you pull your body back.
- When you push your opponent's hand down, pull your opponent's wrist back. Your opponent's palm should be turning towards the ceiling.
Step 9. To beat your opponent, turn your torso and shoulders towards the direction your arm will land
This way, you can use your arm strength and body weight to win the game.
Tips
- Intimidation. Look your opponent right in the eye and smile.
- Always believe that you will win. You will benefit psychologically.
- Do the steps above and get profit quickly. Another way, concentrate on holding back your opponent and making him tired. When your opponent looks tired, quickly push his arm down.
- Train the inertia muscles to increase their strength.
- As soon as the signal is given, use all your strength to surprise your opponent and win within seconds, instead of going through a long, tiring match.
- Keep your hands firmly locked and push your opponent's hand down all the time.
- Picture arm wrestling in your mind a minute before the match starts.
- Don't be afraid and feel like you're going to lose. Later the opponent will be more confident and the possibility of losing is even greater.
- Don't linger! Like a war, finish arm wrestling as fast as you can!
- sportsmanship. If you lose, don't be discouraged. There's always the next game.
- If the opponent is clearly stronger than you, reduce your strength and power, and don't force it with full force because it will only be held by the opponent and your hands will be in a lot of pain!
- During arm wrestling your eyes are focused on the opponent's hand.
Warning
- It is possible that the arm may have suffered a fracture to the humerus and temporary nerve damage.
- Be careful! Athletes' wrists and arms are often injured while scouting!
- Don't push yourself too hard.
