I like that you mentioned the guy taking a break for two weeks and coming back stronger. Lots of people don’t know about this but it is very very real.
100% agree with this, I started 10 months ago been going almost every Sunday, but I recently had to skip two weekends I came back and I fucking crushed. Now I got hard AF and then take one week off. My body needs it and I am finally getting better and stronger.
@@xXLucWuvXx great question! In Canada 🇨🇦 they locked everything down due to covid so the armwrestling competition also got cancelled at that time. But I’m going to enter the next tournament that opens up.
Had my first tournament the other week. Best advise I can give…. Grab as high on the hand as you can cause they may not be strict on thumb knuckle. I got smoked trying to be nice guy. Second. Feel free to hit early as soon as they are just bout to say go. It’s not WAL strict so people that jump early often win. If not you restart so use the foul .
I have an arm wrestling table for training since February 2021, and I will participate for the first time in a competition, an open Ile-de-France on October 30, this video helps me a lot, thanks.

I wish I had seen this before going into my Provincial tournament. Still placed very well (4th or 5th) in Amateur and Pro >176lbs but I feel like I could have placed with a bit more knowledge, just as you said. Thank you Ray.
Thanks for the good advice. I just started training about 3 months ago good luck against frode he is a beast you both are awesome. I cant wait to see the match😀💪✊🤛❤
@@papabilby8855 yes the elbow pain was bad in certain exercises like when I'm doing wrist rising with 45 pound weight hundred at a time 10 reps of 100 my elbow grinding the pad on this was painful and excruciating first couple of times but now I love the pain it makes me feel so good.
Props to you guys. Haha. Stopped armwrestling close to two years ago now and still have elbow pain. Especially when I sleep. Kept me out of the gym for about 6 months. I’m just not built for it. Played every sport in school and plenty of mens league bball all the way into my late 30s. Nothing tore me up like armwrestling. Wish I could tho.
@@horticulturist2338 I had 2 wins and 4 losses, 1 win on right hand and 1 win on left hand, not bad actually, I could've been the lightweight champ if I won 4 matches on right hand
Came to my watch this after 6 months of watching arm wrestling. My first competition is this upcoming weekend. These were great tips to take there. Thanks!
All the lessons and advice, I think your channel is the only one around. Devon for learning about the sport, and you how you do it really good explained. I'm glad I ran in at your channel. Keep up the good work! And Janis is also a great information beakon. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Agreed! I low hand top roll. That’s where I’m strong. And a cup. Hook I’m trash. I stay away from it. As I practice more I keep trying hooking. Building it slowly. Your the man. Love your content.
This was an awesome video. I'm 17 and im going to my second tournament and this one is a state championship so I am a little nervous. This video helped me a lot. Keep up the good work👍
Thanks Coach Ray. I really appreciated the content that you guys publish! I have my first Super Match on Oct 23rd and this video helped me to develop a solid game plan. I'm either winning or learning and BOTH are good outcomes! 💪
Just had 1st tournament a week ago lost the 1st match bc I wasn’t ready 🤪 ended up losing my right hand but that warmed me up & got me rdy for the left arm then I went undefeated & took 1st place. I should’ve warmed up keep the videos coming please I’m a big fan 💪🏻
I have my first competition in 5 days hope to perform well i weigh around 70 to 73 kgs and my riser is around 28 kgs and ive been training for around 4 months
@@izzy0164 won the first round. But the endurance it took from me can't be explained. Lost like a child in the other two rounds. Currently focusing on the technique and especially the endurance. Best of luck for your match too. Will be glad to hear how it went.
Amazing video coach ray also best of luck in your next match my money is on you again but I hope this time you don’t have to win more matches then need be also we talk in the past many times and I was supposed to go in my first provincial tournament back in may in Nova Scotia Canada but they got cancelled because of coved to aug but then they got cancelled to nov 18 so it gave me more time to watch your videos and train at home and go to the club once a week to pull on table with the guys and you helped me lost so far thank you and it would be amazing to get to train with you
What a great video! Thanks Ray! My first comp is in 8 weeks. I have so much to learn and expect to get smashed. If I can get one legit pin, I will be the happiest man in the room.
Hey Coach! What are some tips on what you should be doing in setup on the systems you're familiar with? I have WAF rules where I comepete, I believe you're familiar with them. Alse maby talk about what was like when you pulled on the Devon-Michael-event, and maby what you think it should be allowed to reach for in terms of getting a good grip, you are very insightful, maby you have some contribution that eventually sticks, you really are a dedicated armwrestler. Much love from Brazil, Fernando
Competed in my first tournament last weekend after 4 months of practice. Wasn’t able to execute well on the ready go. Timing seems to be a struggle for me, where some guys hit before the go. Any suggestions for a newbie on the ready go? Planning on getting more team practice on ready gos
I’m debating going to compete on Saturday. My friends can’t even move me when they use two hands 😂 I truly believe I can win my weight class easily but I’m just so nervous to compete
I find these subjects controversial, hence the questions: do tendons respond better to large volume or large weights? Can I advance while only eating 2 meals a day? Thanks
Bro should I register(lower reg fee) for an open weight arm wrestling competition it's my first one nd I weigh 75 kgs or should I register (more reg fee) for 70-80 kgs catagory
Sir ..in armwrestling.. what is the best training style (maximum strength or endurance) More repetition - Moderate weight 2-6 reps - heavy weight Please ..
Sir please help me.... The question is how do we train for our maximum strength .. How should we maintain the volume and intensity of the week? I mean, for example, should we not do 1RM when we take tricep press per week..or how long should we do 1RM ??❤️
Got my first arm wrestling comp this weekend so this video was very good timing. Very helpful 💪
Best of luck and lent us know how it goes
You should definitely come back here and let us know how it went. What kind of competition is it?
Good luck, experince everything so you have more to go forward from that. :)
All the best!!

He said the truth' , because in gym I biceps curl 50kg with 5 reps my weight is 65 . But the guy with 55 kg beat me ...
Bench Deadlift squat strength doesn't really matter in arm wrestling
Bro should I register(lower reg fee) for an open weight arm wrestling competition it's my first one nd I weigh 75 kgs or should I register (more reg fee) for 70-80 kgs catagory
I have a comp tomorrow but I trained 3 days ago 😢 and i am still sour 😢😢
Sir ..in armwrestling.. what is the best training style (maximum strength or endurance)
More repetition - Moderate weight
2-6 reps - heavy weight
Please ..
Both alternate endurance training and heavy
