Apparently, Mighty Joe has done a review here. I haven’t read it yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t read it yet pretty sure this is the video I’m thinking of where he demonstrates some things he does for AW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared P Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 12 hours ago, CruxGripman said: I’ve been super keen to start arm wrestling, been training risers and pronations for awhile now but no table time yet, got a club nearby I wanna go check out. how often to get table work in? I was in the same boat as you last year. I had been training rising and pronation lifts with a belt for a while, and finally joined the local practice group. It's a lot of fun, and I'd love to do it more, but I had to put it on the back burner for a while. Table time comes with major soreness, often debilitating. After my first practice, I couldn't lift much with my left arm for a few weeks, and my left hand was numb for a week. I had to decide between grippers and armwrestling, because armwrestling was hurting my gripper and weight training performance. But I do plan on returning to it, maybe even soon. The change I would personally make the next time around is that I would take it easy at practice, only pull for about 30 minutes, and not go 100% or to failure. Previously I was going full-tilt for 1-2 hours at practice, which had too great of an impact on my body. I still train rising and pronating lifts with the belt, and it doesn't effect my gripper performance at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah, damn… okay, by the sounds of it I will definitely have to take it very easy then if I try to start, I definitely do t want to negatively affect my gripper training or my lifting , on top of that I teach and train jiujitsu most nights which comes with a similar soreness, but except whole body lol. If arm wrestling is as to interfere this much I’d would have to put it on hold for a few years atleast I reckon. Thank you for the heads up 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the heads up It sucks. then there is me who wants to get into both BJJ and AW so badly. But will just make my grip goals take longer. But one day. I'd imagine you could "dabble" for lack of better words in AW until your routine allows for more. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grip training fits in nicely with weights for Bjj . You won’t regret starting Bjj. Edited Wednesday at 06:48 PM by SOCK BOY 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, I don’t feel that Jiujitsu and grip training have affected one another at all, but I think that would depend on how extensive you’re grip training is.

I’ve been told after several months to a year (lol) that goes away. It’s no surprise all the pros have stem cell, etc treatments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
