If you have ever done any serious arm wrestling, you know that there is no exercise that you can do in the gym that even comes close to the incredible strains and stresses that come from a match with another person.
Don't get me wrong; hammer curls, forearm curls, and heavy grips hand grippers training are all important. They build significant muscular strength that is vital to successful arm wrestling. But they neglect to build the all important tendon and ligament strength that separates the average arm wrestlers from the champions. Quite simply, this kind of strength cannot be trained in the gym. Put another way, there is no better way to improve at arm wrestling than to arm wrestle others... UNTIL NOW!!!
Unfortunately, not all of us are fortunate enough to have training partners, and so we were put at a significant disadvantage to those who could train with actual people. We strongly believe that our brand new Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System will be nearly as effective as training with a partner!
Ultimate Arm Wrestling has been working on a simple device that will simulate a real arm wrestling match far better than any training you could ever do in a gym! The Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System will also build the all-important tendon and ligament strength that you just cannot train in the gym. Weak tendons and ligaments are the reason why your elbow might hurt for days - or even weeks - after a tough match or two. No matter how strong your muscles are, you will never be a champion until you have extremely strong tendons and ligaments as well.
The Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System
The Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System allows you to simulate the pressures put on your arm during an actual arm wrestling match. Even better, it can be done in the comfort of your own home and takes up practically no space!
Why Training with a Lat Machine Pulley Does Not Work
Perhaps you have tried to simulate arm wrestling yourself. If you did, you probably went into the gym, put a single handle on a lat machine, added some weight, and then practiced "taking down" an imaginary opponent. Unfortunately, this way of training produces little in the way of results. Here are the reasons why:
First, you have no table to put your arm on. Instead, you have to try to stabilize your arm in the air. The motion that you end up doing is a LOT different than what you would do in an actual arm wrestling match. It usually ends up being just one gigantic rotator cuff exercise, which is a far cry from an actual match and is unlikely to make you a better wrestler.
Second, the tension is not constant through the entire movement. Anyone who has arm wrestled before knows of the extreme importance of a quick BURST at the beginning of the match. But if you try to start your lat machine training with a quick burst, the tension will be tough at the beginning (during the quick burst) but far too easy for the rest of the movement. Why? Because when you explosively pull down on the lat machine handle, the weights gain momentum and make the bottom part of the pull too easy.
This means that you are not lifting the entire weight. In sum, when training on a lat machine, you might be able to train the "go" of your match well. But it is the rest of the pull, from the starting position to the pin position, that is so important in arm wrestling. By training explosively on the lat machine (as you should), you are only training the very beginning of the movement. To truly benefit - as you would if you were wrestling an actual person - you must train your entire range of motion.
Third, training with a lat machine just doesn't "feel right." It is painfully obvious that there is no comparison between lat machine training and a real match. In other words, if you are training with only a lat machine and your opponent is training against real people, he is going to improve a lot more than you do. That could mean the difference between winning or losing your next match.
Fourth, the angle on the machine is usually way off. Most of the tension in an arm wrestling match is side-to-side and front-to-back. By contrast, because the lat machine pulley is high in the air, most of the resistance it gives is the up-and-down kind. Training in this way is NOT going to make you a better arm wrestler!
The Solution: Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System!
We have come up with a way that you can utilize pulley training but overcome all of its weaknesses! It is truly so effective at training the all-important tendon and ligament strength that it even "feels" the same as arm wrestling another person!
So how does the Ultimate Arm Wrestling Training System work? It's simple. The system utilizes a series of handles that fit into your hand and are similar in size to an oponent's hand. The system then utilizes a pulley that can be used ANYWHERE and can be fixed at ANY height, as well as flexible tubing that can provide huge resistance. Take a look at the pictures for more details.
Benefits of Our Training System
Our Training System overcomes all the problems with traditional pulley training.
First, you can actually train on an arm wrestling table (no more trying to hold your elbow in the air)! Because the Training System can be used almost anywhere, including your own home, you can get your arm wrestling table out and use it during your training. This is a HUGE benefit, because you can practice different moves and figure out which body positions give you the most leverage. Training and experimenting on an actual table is one of the biggest advantages of training with a partner. Now you don't even need a partner to experience these benefits!
Even if you don't have an arm wrestling table, you can still pull out a kitchen table or otherwise and practice on it. While not as good as practicing on a real table, it is still a vast improvement over training on no table at all (as you would in the gym)!
Second, you get constant tension throughout the movement. Our system utilizes extremely strong rubber tubing, which provides constant tension throughout the movement. This is another HUGE benefit, because you can practice your explosiveness AND can train your entire range of motion! Being strong throughout the entire range of motion is a major key in winning matches.
Third, the Training System feels almost exactly like the tension an opponent would give you in an arm wrestling match! Even better, our Training System provides not only sidepressure but also backpressure - just like a real opponent would give. If you close your eyes, you could almost forget that you are not arm wrestling a real person! This is another key to becoming a better wrestler.
Not only will you feel pressure on your muscles, but you will also feel pressure in your tendons and ligaments in your wrists and elbows. Over time, your ligament strength will improve dramatically and will lead to incredible improvement in your arm wrestling! Even better, it is impossible to build this kind of strength in the gym!
Fourth, the pulley is easily adjustable to ANY height. That means no more up-and-down resistance as you would get on a gym lat machine! Instead, every pound of resistance will be the type you would face in a match (front-to-back and side-to-side pressure).
The adjustability of the pulley also allows for another advantage - the ability to train specific moves! For instance, if you are interested in training your toproll, you will have to really build up your explosive strength and your backpressure. With our Training System, doing so is a piece of cake! What if you want to train your hook and the sidepressure it requires? Not only can you do so quickly and easily, but you will also strengthen the ligaments in your elbow at the same time!
Fifth, you can vary the resistance with ease - no more adding weight plates! If you want to increase the weight, simply shorten the powerful tubing or step further away from the pulley! If you want to train with low reps, take a step away from the pulley. If you instead want to focus on high reps, take a step closer. It is truly that easy!
