Arm wrestling is a great sport, and the guys at the top have arm strength which is unbelievable, some of the training they do is crazy. You just have to get into it gradually, like you do with anything else, you wouldn't try and bench 400 the fist time you went into a gym, you would probably...

The only way to get strong for arm wrestling is to arm wrestle. There isn't much you can do in the gym to strengthen your joints (elbow and wrist) and tendons for what pressure gets put on them when arm wrestling. There is a lot of technique involved so if this other guy arm wrestles a lot I...

Made some of my best gains on such a split. Mon: Dead/row/curl Tues: BB bench/db shoulder press/tri ext Thu: Squat/pullup/curl Fri: Military press/incline db press/close grip bench Sets and reps depended on the exercise, but generally in the area of 4-6 reps of 4-6 sets I have...

enjoyed the vid... i'm getting more and more into this kind of lifting. His comments on kettlebell lifting were way off though, he obviously doesn't understand proper kettlebell clean technique. Done correctly it doesnt put any negative stress on the shoulder. KB training is awesome!!!

Much appreciated… ‘push-jerk’ it is then… that is definitely what my push press has evolved into. Thanks for the link mate… I’m impressed with how explosive that lass is, I’ll have to work a bit more on that!! Great stuff Cheers GT

I’ve been focusing on the push press for a little while now… I bend my legs and explode the weight up, but recently as the weight had been getting high (for me that is), I’ve put in a second bend in the knees as the weight is on the way up, so I’m dropping under it and catching the weight at the...

I always thought shoulder press was an umbrella term for a few different over head pressing movement, whereas, military press had to be done with a barbell while standing (I didn’t know foot spacing made any difference). Just out of interest when does a ‘push press’ become a ‘jerk’? Cheers GT

Took me about 2 years to go from 65kgs to 90kgs (6”), which was my goal, haven’t gained any weight in the last 6 months or so, but have continued to make some strength gains. Just started a 5x5 so will be interesting to see if I break through the plateau. Eating small meals but very often was...

On my first run of 5x5 (advanced), going very well, making some nice strength gains and enjoying it. Next week will be week 3, and my gym will be closed from Thu to Sun. It’s Thai new year so everything shuts down for 4 days, so nowhere to train. So I’m going to miss Friday’s session...

just live round the corner from you........Vipawadee 16, chock chai rammit. Train at Yontrakit sprts club, on Vipawadee 22, in fact got to renew my year membership tomorrow, was thinking about checking out a few places, but i can get there in 5 mins on my bike so cant be bothered going to one...

sports scientist.............hows it going mate? what gym do you train at in BKK? just wondering as i live here too. take it easy jacko

1. Are there different muscles used when you do hammer grip shoulder press, in contrast to regular palms forward grip? if so which ones? 2. what is the difference between a shoulder width grip military press, and a wide grip military press, does it hit different parts of the shoulder? 3...

Cheers guys seems like i've got a few options to try. I think the point about the elbows being flared out too much could have hit the nail on the head! i have always tried to keep my elbows staight out to the side as i thought this this was "perfect form", so you reckon alowing my elbows to...
