The top roll

Arm wrestling has a technique called “top roll”.

If you know this technique, you will not lose in armwrestling between amateurs.

How to do top roll?

It’s simple.

In a nutshell, the method is as follows.

With the elbow as the fulcrum, lift the opponent’s fingertip with the “principle of leverage”.

Did you notice that this is the same as “that carpenter’s tool”?

It’s “the claw of a hammer”, yes “nail puller”.

Lift the opponent’s fingertip with the same movement as “nail puller”.

The “top roll” is the same movement as the “nail puller” that lifts the opponent’s fingertips.

Once you lift your opponent’s fingertips, your opponent can no longer put pressure on their hands or arms.

Muscles required for armwrestling

However, this is valid for armwrestling between those who do not know each other’s techniques, or armwrestling between beginners.

In the end, muscle strength is important in fighting between those who have acquired the technique.

So which muscles are important for armwrestling?

The muscles required for armwrestling are listed below in order of importance.

1. Forearm muscle
2. Biceps
3. Latissimus dorsi
4. Pectoralis major
5. Rotator cuff
6. Triceps

Typical training methods for these muscles are as follows.

1.Training with armwrestling handle,Wrist curl

2.Arm curl, Chin up

3.Pull up, Lat machine pull down

4.Chest press, Chest fly

5.Internal rotation

6.Triceps press down

These workouts are best done on a cable machine or dumbbells.

This is because the training done in these ways has a flexible trajectory and is effective for the muscles needed in the actual game.

And more than half of the strength of armwrestling is determined by the strength of the forearm.

The most important of these are “Brachioradialis” and “Forearm flexor muscles”.

In order to train these muscles efficiently, it is best to use equipment dedicated to armwrestling.
