Christian Binnie: "I listen to my body" 16:00 04/28/2014 World-renown armwrestlers tell us about their technique, their injuries and their ways to regenerate. Not what you were looking for? Search for other text. What technique do you use? I ’ m known for fighting with the hook, but I also use other styles sometimes. What are your three favorite exercises? I prefer to do ALL exercises in full range of movement, I NEVER do half- or quarter-moves. I like biceps isolations with hammer grip curls, that hits the muscles that I need the most. I fight with left arm only, so I do wrist curls for it – I stand before a barbell with my palm facing me. I also like rows on a bench of the rowing machine, with bent knees and a cambered grip – palms facing inwards. This angle imitates the fighting position quite well. You asked for 3 exercises, but I do so much more. First I warm up the muscle group I want to exercise, then I do 2-4 sets, 1-3 reps. I use VERY large weights, resting only 10-15 seconds
