Sonofwolf Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 (edited) Everytime someone hooks me i lost, especially if they have short forearms,how to counter it?If i can top roll them i own them in 1-2 seconds max.i have long forearms so hooks are my bane...To give you an example of the guys that own me on hook, think of Arsen Edited May 30, 2015 by Sonofwolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Raftopoulos Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 btw Arsen's transformation from 2005 is unreal. I'd love to arm wrestle the 2005 Arsen. Now no thanks, I need my arm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Retarides Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Develop more pronation and a stronger post move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James, the nylon handle maneuvered to go over the back of the hand to do curls from a low height and at eye-level. I am going to do a video this week to demonstrate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abefroman Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 like others said, rock solid post and focus on rotating through their pinky. Fight the pinky.....that is the key I believe. And speed will help a bunch. But if a dude wants the hook, he will probably get it unless your hand is significantly superior. I need to take my own advice, I'm still working on this same thing. Great question, hell yeah. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for the input guys! I'm confused on the idea of posting and attacking the pinky. I assumed posting was with a flexed wrist position which would make it tough to attack the pinky but maybe I'm misunderstanding it? Do you use backpressure(posting) but after the go drop the wrist and pronate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florian Kellersmann Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Work your hook. Seriously. Then fight in the hook. If you fail to toproll a hooker, you mostly are in a bad situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alawadhi Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The sausage king of Chicago makes a great point. When you post, you attack the weakest link (or in this case links) the pinky and ring fingers. If you can extend a hook puller's hand they will have a harder time turning you. The pronation you would use would be with a bent wrist (what some pullers refer to as downward rotation). Think of opening your opponent's hand and extending their arm. Use their momentum to bring them to your side. Sorry for the following sales pitch but I explain it a great deal in my book Aah that book which I am not finding hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
