Allowing your arm to slip away from your side will not allow you to execute this move effectively. Once your hand is curled as far as it will go, use your arm to force your opponents arm to the table. This move works because your opponent’s hand and arm combination will become significantly weaker with your wrist curled around theirs.

Exercises

You might want to devote some time to different exercises if you find that the techniques discussed previously are not helping your arm wrestling skills. Bench pressing large amount of weight is the best way to get your triceps into tip top shape. This exercise also works out the bicep and pectoral muscles.

Dumbbell curls can be done to pump up your bicep muscles. Start with a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing your body. Lower the dumbbells to hang at each side of your waist. Pull up each dumbbell individually so that the end of the dumbbell almost hits your shoulder. Your thumb should be the closest finger to your shoulder at the top of the curl.

You are on your way to becoming the next arm wrestling legend if you keep these techniques and exercises in mind. Fear can be your worst enemy. Clear your mind before each match and have confidence that you are more skilled than your opponent. Confidence alone can intimidate your opponent. If you do not succeed right away then keep working at it. Nothing worthwhile comes easy- not even arm wrestling.
