These 5 arm wrestling exercises can help enhance the muscles
used in training for competitive arm wrestling or just fun with the guys. Arm wrestling prominently uses the shoulders,
biceps, triceps, and forearms. Here are 5 arm wrestling exercises to make you
the best arm wrestler you can be.
Shoulder press. The shoulder press is one standard
for the shoulders. There are valuable variations, such as the military press,
that can target specific areas of the shoulders, such as the deltoids. This is
a staple for developing muscles for arm wrestling.
Biceps curls. Use biceps curls in all forms for
variety and for targeting different parts of the biceps, such as the preacher
curl and others. Curls are also versatile, using dumbbells, barbells, and
pulley-based systems.
Triceps extensions. Triceps extensions can be performed
while on a bench or even standing. Be sure to clinch your triceps at the end of
the lift to really focus your triceps. While the triceps are affected by many
arm exercises, it is important to dedicate time specifically for them to be
enhanced.
Wrist curls. Wrist curls can be performed in both
directions, which is important in order to work both extensors and flexors of
the forearms. Simply sit on a bench and stabilize your wrist, rotating your
hands in both directions to perform wrist curls.
Grip strengtheners. Grip strengtheners represent a
bonus area to consider when choosing arm wrestling exercises. Grip strength is
very important for strength training, and of course for doing well in arm
wrestling. Plus, you can do it anywhere, at the office, the gym or even while
watching television.
