Well a reality check for those who thinks being a great powerlifter makes you good in armwrestling.

Though still got to give props for putting herself out there.

Mmost definitely the biggest difference comes from the technique. Armwrestling with a correct table is quite dissimilar to what you see in mixed fantasy videos or in the pub.

Also a specific kind of strength is required — as in every sport — which you can only get by doing exercises that follow as close as possible the actual movement in the action.

Plainly: in order to get good in armwrestling, one needs to armwrestle – a lot

Technique defect but also don’t forget that women tend to have more slender bone and joint structure. It’s generally easier to twist a woman’s hand and wrist than a man of equal size.

Good point sir! I noticed that she was having her wrist twisted, but didn’t appreciate the significance.

I don’t mind her losing. WHY? 1, because she looked hot doing it, and 2, she can press them all overhead! Can they do the same to her..? Doubt it! :laugh:

When your wrist gets twisted, the game is over. Except if you are Denis Cyplenkov.

Here is a sample from the professional armwrestler Heidi Andersson who is a multiple world champion in 65 kilos.

And British teen sensation Joanne Poole in Dailystar. explaining some technique. (video and interview)

And here’s Irina Makeeva. No. 1 ranked female armwrestler.

Sparring with men. Bad quality unfortunately.
