Winning armwrestling is a combination of strength training and technique. There are several types of attack that allow you to quickly place your opponent's hand on the table. Which technique to use depends on your preference and physical ability.
Instructions
Step 1
Although arm wrestling is not an Olympic sport, it has become very popular. There are strict rules in armwrestling, and a number of restrictions are imposed on the athletes participating in the fight. They are prohibited from lifting their elbows from the armrest, touching their shoulders or head with their forearms, removing their hand from the post of the table, etc.
Step 2
The victory in armwrestling is ensured by the strength and technical training of the athlete. It all starts with the correct starting position - it should provide such a position when the armwrestler with the maximum efficiency can use not only the muscles of the arms and shoulders, but also the muscles of the trunk, legs, and his own weight.
Step 3
The basis of victory in a duel lies in the application of the golden rule of mechanics - “we win in strength, losing in distance”. Therefore, in the starting position, you should bring your shoulder and forearm as close as possible. The active hand should be in the center of the table.
Step 4
The fight begins with the attack phase. Each of the competitors strives to bring the opponent's hand out at an angle of 45 degrees in relation to the plane of the table. There are several popular attack methods - overhead, hook and jerk.
Step 5
When attacking over the top, try to cover the opponent's hand with your fingers. In parallel with this, press on the opponent's fingers and squeeze his hand. This attack is best suited for people with strong fingers.
Step 6
When attacking with a hook, turn your hand sharply, as if breaking the opponent's hand. During this movement, the hand should rotate in the direction of the little finger towards itself, and the thumb up and out.
Step 7
When attacking with a push, try to push your arm forward sharply by arching your wrist. Your shoulder continues this movement, after which the opponent's hand is squeezed down.
Step 8
There are other attack techniques in armwrestling. When attacking with triceps, the athlete must strongly move the shoulder in the direction of the opponent and at the same time pull his hand towards him. In this case, the main impulse is set using the extensor muscles of the arm. In the case of a pull attack, the athlete, bending the wrist, supines his arm and pulls the opponent's arm towards him.

Remember, the attacker's task is to use the impulse given in the attack phase as fully as possible and end the fight by placing the opponent's hand on the table.
