Seems like you kinda went on the defensive with my post.

Imo I probably wouldn't arm wrestle seriously more than once a week. That's just my opinion because really intense arm wrestling on top of your lifting is hard on the tendons/ligaments and you are hitting your cns pretty hard.

Of course alot of guys train constantly so I guess it depends on what works best for you.

I have minimal technique and knowledge of arm wrestling, but I know how to take a wrist and turn my whole upper body into a lever.

I've beaten alaskan crabbers in arm wrestling and believe it or not those guys are absolutely beast from the raw power they develope from that work.

My best was when I weighed about 220lbs and beat a 190lbs high school champ from Montana. Granted I had him on weight, but this was a powerful kid/senior that had defeated alot of people from multiple high schools and I slammed his arm down so fast it wasn't even funny. The dazed look on his face and the few comments he made after....think I kinda shattered his arm wrestling confidence forever.

Enough of me bragging. It's great that you are training with some arm wrestlers. If I were you I would master the hook or press.

Before I even learned even rudimentary technique I performed the press. Slammed his wrist over and hunch over it as fast as possible and just man your weight down hard into it.

I don't know what arm wrestlers you are training with, but if you have beaten several of them already and none of them have the kind of wrist power I am talking about then you are training with some low grade guys.

I appreciate the advice....

Anyways my gym has up to 100 lbs dumbells so no point in even trying to lift anything heavier, because there isn't...unless you are talking about wrist curls with a bar??

These arm wrestlers have placed in several competitions for the weight class i'm in...

I'm not expecting to win, I'm actually expecting to just get some experience....but if I place that would be awesome

Anyways it'll all good...you're welcome to come arm wrestle me anytime bro

I would like to add that you look and sound pretty beast for your size so your overall physical genetics may be allowing to take down guys that aren't "quite" good enough to beat you through experience/technique versus your brute force.

Trust me when I say that there are guys that can wrist curl that much at that size.

Has anyone talked to you about lat contraction in regards to the hook or press? When I arm wrestled that kid he took my thumb with his initial grip and the kid had a grip like a vice. Then when I actually settled in and cramped my lat hard and locked my arm in and gripped his hand hard I saw the recognition in his eyes briefly.

When you meet someone good you can literally feel how they just lock up tight.

With your genetics and determination if you can get uber fast and taking their wrist at the start and really pressing your bodyweight and using the power you have developed you might kick ass.

Keep working those wrist curls. Even with small wrists you could be doing wrist curls with +135lbs before you know it.

Good luck.

Lol, I've beaten crabbers and a high school champ. That said I wouldn't go out of my way to arm wrestle you. You look like a natural mesomorph and I tend to let shit like that hold too much sway against my own self confidence. You let yourself get even the slightest bit intimidated by the other guys physique and you've as good as lost. I'm almost like the Marvel comics Gladiator character. When I'm completely relaxed or get thrown a random challenge I've done some crazy shit. Get me all worked up over something and it's like I can't get passed second gear. My strength is almost directly proportionate to my confidence level outside of your typical gym lifting and shit. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the nervous system and how mine amps itself up in certain scenarios and others doesn't fuckin do what I want it to lol.

On the topic of wrist curls if you are doing legit one arm wrist curls with 95lbs then you indeed have strong wrists. I assumed you were doing wrist curls with a barbell. Use a barbel man and go as heavy as you can for sets of 3-5 reps. Then use a dumbell with lighter weight to burn out imo. There's nothing weak about one arm wrists curls with a 95lbs db.

GL on the competition. Go in their ready to kick ass and take names. Whatever you do never let the other guy intimidate you. I have found it is easy for my self confidence to falter if the other guy feels like he has a really powerful grip/setup incomparison to my own. After beating that kid I realized that they may be feeling the same thing so never let the setup waver your confidence.

Nah, I literally am going just on brute strength and power. I am hoping to learn all those techniques during the tournament.

I'm really excited and interested in the sport of arm wrestling. I'm hoping I can work my way to being really good at it.

Actually I have posted pictures, but that's neither here nor there. You bodybuilder types crack me up. It's funny how strong some of you become physically, but mentally are mush. I used to fuck with my old work out partner all the time. We'd be in the gym and I'd look at him all serious and say something like, "Have you lost weight man? Looks like you shrank a little. You didn't stop mid cycle did you?". He'd try to play it cool like I didn't get in his head, but later on we'd be out and about playing pool or something and I'd hear him asking people things like, "do I look bigger than when you saw me last?". It's just funny to me how insecure people can be, bodybuilders are pretty much chicks with dicks.

gotta give U props on revealing and articulating your narrative seamlessly with explaining armwrestling dynamics.
Not just a meathead thing.
Well for the most part.

Well, it's true when you think about it. Most are insecure like women.

Anyone who disagrees with this is extremely disingenuous. 99% of bodybuilders only do so because of some extreme insecurities. Not saying its good or bad, per se...but it is what it is.

I personally could care less if Im stuck at 185 lbs. Then again, if my bodyfat gets too high I get rather perturbed.
