Most people think armwrestling is a competition of strength, but armwrestling champions know that practicing techniques is very important. This sport is dangerous; many athletes get fractures during wrestling, and most often the humerus is broken. Use this knowledge wisely and it will not be superfluous to learn how to avoid a broken arm during armwrestling.

Steps

1. 1 Put your right foot forwardif you use your right hand while wrestling and vice versa. Your weight will shift from your front foot to your back foot.
2. 2 Bend your thumb. After you hold hands with your opponent, place your thumb under the rest of your fingers. This will help you master the Top roll technique.
3. 3 Stand with your stomach close to the table. If your right leg is in front, then your right thigh will be directly opposite the table.
4. 4 The distance between the forearm and the body should be as small as possible. In this case, the strength of the body and the hand will be used simultaneously, which is better than using only the strength of the hand.
5. 5 Take a high grip on your opponent's hand. Secure your thumb with your other fingers.
6. 6 Raise your wrist. In turn, bending your opponent's wrist forward can strengthen your grip as your opponent struggles to maintain his position. If you can't, just keep your wrist straight.
7. 7 Lead your opponent into a corner (when applying pressure, pull your opponent's hand towards you) to open his arm. When the opponent's hand is down, he will have to work hard to return it to the desired position.
8. 8 Use one of the following techniques as appropriate for your situation.
   • The grappling hook is a useful technique if you and your opponent are equal in strength in the forearm, bicep, or both.
     
     
     • Twist your wrist inward. This will force your opponent to strain his arm, but you will also have to strain your biceps a lot.
     • Maintain wrist contact throughout the bout so that all tension is concentrated in the wrists and not in the hands.
     • Place your whole body (especially your shoulder) on your forearm and keep your body and forearm close to each other. Pull your opponent towards you and push down.
   • The top roll - this technique is more focused on the use of leverage than on the use of brutal force. You press on your opponent's arm, thereby forcing it to open and making it harder for your opponent to use the muscles.
     
     
     • Place your elbows close together. As a result, the higher the brushes are, the more advantage you have. Grab as high as possible.
     • As soon as you hear the command "Start!" pull your hand towards you, thereby moving the opponent's hand away from his body. This will help you capture the higher. In this technique, you have to lean back.
     • With downward pressure on your opponent's hand, do an overhead spin. The opponent's palm should turn towards the ceiling.
9. 9 To deliver the finishing blow, turn your body and shoulder in the direction you want. This way, you can use your shoulder strength and body weight to win.

Tips

• Strength training will help you as it strengthens your arms.
• Visualize the fight in your head a minute before it starts.
• As soon as you hear the word "March!" use all your strength in a short dash to shock your opponent and win a couple of seconds, rather than tire yourself out over a long match.
• Don't show your fear to your opponent and don't say you can lose. Otherwise, they will choose a daring demeanor, which will only increase your chances of failure.
• Don't pull the cat by the tail! Finish a duel like a war - less time, less corpses.
• Intimidation. Look your opponent directly in the eyes and smile.
• Always think before a match that you will win, this psychologically will give you an advantage.
• Act quickly using the steps above to gain an advantage. In addition, you can focus on holding upright and fatiguing your opponent. When you think your opponent is tired, quickly press your hand to the surface.
• Play fair. If you lose, don't worry, next time you will definitely succeed.
• Watch your opponent's hand.
