I cannot stress this enough: MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR SHOULDER IN LINE WITH YOUR HAND. YOU CAN VERY EASILY BREAK YOUR ARM IF YOU DON'T.
This past weekend I was in an arm wrestling competition and in our final match my opponent's humerus literally snapped in half. It was horrifying. We were 15 seconds in, and he was in a defensive position (I was starting to pin him on my side). He rotated only at the elbow to try to bring his hand back to the starting position and created a lot of tension on his humerus. He needed to bring the whole shoulder down with the hand as well and lean *with* his arm, not isolate it. I learned from the ER doc this is incredibly common for amateurs. PLEASE PLEASE take my warning. :( I never want to see this happen ever again.

underrated! very high quality content, deserves millions of views honestly

Totally agree that sports specific training is critical. 👍🏻 and that sometimes, size does not matter

[titin]

1.5x times your weight only work if you have trained rotator cuff and proper wrist to begin with + a decent back pressure or big hand or both

This is very dangerous sport for a newbie. I wrestled in the bar after 1 liter of beer. The guy was much bigger than I. I had a strentgh workout earlier that day at the gym so I was kinda warmed up. This guy knew the tricks and he damged my left shoulder a little bit. Now I have problem riding my bike. Probably I should avoid this bar activity in future.

Excellent, Butch does not always win! Technique and training will get you over the line!

Tamsak done idol and full support on your video ❤

[milenkopizdic]

if that specific type of movement was in everyday bodybuilding I'm pretty sure the bodybuilder would've won regardless of whether he trained for hypertrophy or strength. Neuromuscular connection is very strict and that's why specific movements need specific training like arm wrestling

I think I know do the squid game strategy. Stay strong for long enough for them to tire and strike back.

There's a reason why ufc fighters are not bulked up to the head.

[ZhuGeLiang]

devon or denis might be good

Muscle weight vs muscle strength. Big difference.

Can Size Beat Technique? Very Relatable Topic for Every MALE!

[ThunderChunky]

Guy is a giant! He should practice more.

[gregwong]

I'm sorry but the big guy's voice doesn't match his body😄

[BizarreBanana]

I'm around 50kg, 14 yo, and I can defeat other kids my age that weights 90kg~

[thehornet]

The Indian guy is not an armwrestler so don't fool ppl who don't know. Put him on a match with a 70kg MMA fighter and result also the same he will be beaten cause he is not a fighter.

[dennisborn]

The guy should try people with arms as short as his. He locks his short little arms and uses his body not arm. He has no strength just short arms he should grasp the other guy around the wrist not hand to be even.
