DAN PRAYDIS Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Hi guys, I wonder can you post some training program that you armwrestlers use?I mean a total full body program not only for the arms and hands. some guys never do a routine for armwrestling they join a club or team or armwrestle friends just training on the table will help you or build yourself one and use cables or springs to do the movement do a google search on tables to get an idea joe has some good ideas armwrestle a cable machine or innertubes any exercise that strengthen your arm wrist and fingers will help good luck youtube has some training videos also good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle102887 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I say it always helps to be strong all over.....I used AMD created by Jim Smith (smitty on the board) of the diesel crew. It's awesome and I am having amazing results. It's cool because it teaches you how to create and tailor a routine for your particular needs or goals. I say check it out if you want to be big, strong, flexible, and remain healthy and injury free throughout. It's working for me and I plan on running through the 16 weeks over and over with bigger weights, and a better physique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djukac Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 And I also wonder what kind of grip is more important for armrestling ( I know that both are important ) crushing or pinch ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raikkonen Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i do training for arm wrestling and in the gym. some gym workouts are specific for arm wrestling. ill go over the basic gym stuff to stay 'big' etc. monday bench press heavy up to 10 sets triceps skullcrushers light weight 3 - 4 sets plenty of reps squats 5 sets working up to heavy 1 rep usually biceps - 1 arm concentration curls heavy 5 -6 sets arms - hammer curl hold withj cable heavy lat pull downas 3 sets workni up to heavy set flies / pec deck 3 sets wednesday shoulders 3 - 4 sets working heavy deltoids 3 sets medium to light weight forearms wrist curls 3 sets heavy deadlifts (once every 2 weeks) working up to heavy lots of sets friday bench press - 4 - 5 sets of light weight (10 - 20 percent of max ) tricep extensions 3 sets light weight biceps preacher curls with ez bar on prayer bench 3 - 4 sets heavyish biceps on preacher curl doing them in a lockin position. i.e. watch devon larrats video to see how. this is what i would do if i wasnt on the table, if i was on the table i would cut out most exercises with arms or keep them really light. grip work is done before anything like arms. uusaly on a monday i do bench, after if i have my grippers, i do them then, my hands seem abit warmed up but ready to close the #2. if i do them after a wkrout my hands are ripped.apart.

djukac Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 Joe that's a great video.Thanks on the info.Btw how long have u been armwrestling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightyjoe Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Joe that's a great video.Thanks on the info.Btw how long have u been armwrestling? I started in 1979 through 1994. Injured my right shoulder. Refed for a couple of years after that. To answer your question, I competed for 15 years and been involved in the sport for 30 years. Currently trying to make a comeback in the Masters Class 198 or Heavy. I'll be 47 years old next month. My goal is to win a National or World title before I turn 50. It's been tougher than I thought. I can't recover as fast now and the gains are a lot slower after 40. We'll see! Wish me luck! Glad you like the videos! Hope they help.
