I'll stick to static holds. Plyometrics have too small of a margin of error, for me to risk injury. I'll practice explosiveness by accelerating the concentric movement. Keep up the good content!

I have injured my tendons badly and now i have taken a break of 2 months .. Im getting tendons of steel.. I just armwrestled in practice (3times ez win) no more pain thanx to u man, u told me when to stop

[nemesishubris]

This guy has great form and technique. Thanks for such detailed focus as too muscle growth and safety.

[joshpalao]

Man, I'm very interested on the topic discussing muscle and tendon strength mismatch.Very interesting topic.Great video by the way.

[ashleyburkes]

Straight arm bicep work also builds tendons of steel as well as planche leans.

Great stuff my brother I use some of these methods with the fatgrips pros and extremes. Love statics and slow movements with weight and incorporating grippers and wrist rolls. 💪💪

[whoknows]

In 2023 this is still a great video man.

[sergioj.c.]

Thank you very much!! I'll introduce that I'm my next routine to improve the strength of my tendons. And great that you let clear that we must rest enough to recover.

So yeah, weird revisiting this decades later. Seems suffering many different "methods" of training from an early age lent itself well to the idea of strength vs size vs training for a specific performance "advantage" in skill, ability, and heart while suffering the training.

It seems we are conditioned in some cultures to view size as a metric of capability when it seems that outside physics, geometry and and shall we say "other social expectations" size has little to provide in those training for a specific outcome.

This, at the time had a 225 pound lean moran willing to "arm wrestle" anyone. Soft and bigger or untrained was so easy and fun. Lucky to real permanent injury was sustained that to a sub 150 pound wrist wrestling pro had nothing but humble dominance to bring to the table he built. So much fun learning how to even have a prayer to maybe hold my own against someone of that caliber having always relied on the isometric training that prevented other untrained knuckleheads from "winning" because they lacked the knowledge, training, dedication, and focus. He was so insanely fast. Nothing but lifetime respect for that ability and dedication.

So all that crap said, I noticed while young that you could hold the position I'm sure is well known but not at that time to tire the unprepared no matter their size or apparent "strength." The four move checkmate of "arm wrestling!"

Oh and informally in this knucklehead's experience so many think it's cheating to pull fast. There seems to be an expectation to go slowly so the stronger or larger can dominate as "expected. " Sure I'll use my left hand.

Lol. Thank you for the presentation.

Love your videos.. Short and well described. 😇

lookin forward for exercises, greetings from czech republic

Static holds at full contraction until failure. Then, because negative strength's greater than static strength, attempt to stop the negative as it moves to the end-point of the rep. Unless you believe you didn't give it an honest, full effort, one rep's enough.

Thx bro ....Ur videos helping me a lot🤗

[Leonidas-eubb]

plyometric is strech loading at faster speeds.
Isometrics don't prepare the tendon for high strech loads. Only plyometrics prepare train the tendon for plyometric moves.
Froom what i can observe arm wrestling is a slow or static movement in most cases.
Throwing, jumping, running are fast movements with high strech loads. those need tendons with plyometric ability.

[christopheryannquirin]

Great tips coach, I used both and incorporate strongman exercises in my training. So far so good.

[DavidLopez-bqen]

I’ve read that with isometrics you gain strength plus or minus 25 degrees. Not just the position you are holding in.

[jasonvoorhees]

Can dynamics also help ?


And when you were talking about isometrics you said that training in one position will only make that exact position stronger, don't you think it could have a little carry over to the whole range of motion ?

Also thanks again for talking about tendons, im really interested in making them stronger stiffer and more durable.

So my back day is on the same day as my arm wrestling practice what should I do first. I thought arm wrestling because that way my arms not compromised, but then my workout suffers. Or do I just move it to another day?.

[shahiankit]

How about first 2 sets of statics of 20-30 secs in the centre for backpressure and then 2 sets of 8-12 reps of same but like hammer curling?
Thank you.

What are those black things at ur hand, what is it call
