Useful Armwestling Techniques
THE TOPROLL
Quickly get high on your opponents hand and fingers so you can take his power away by opening his grip and making it hard for him to regain hand position.
THE HOOK
Curl your wrist-in hard and get as close to your body and shoulder as you can and with one unison motion curl your opponent into the pad.
THE PRESS
To get on top of your opponents hand and using your whole upper body weight and shoulder in close to power-blast your way through your opponent in one fast motion.
Arm Wrestling Table Styles
Stand-Up Style - is the most popular and preferred style of arm wrestling worldwide because the three mentioned techniques above could be incorporated and it's easier to referee. The website's How to win provides concise information related to 'Stand-UP' style arm wrestling and also mentions about Tendon Strength and the various Arm Curling weight training exercises.
Sit-Down Style - sometimes called 'Old School' arm wrestling events are also held where brute strength is the main factor and technique only plays a small part in pinning your opponent. This old-fashioned Sit-Down style arm wrestling is not as popular as Stand-Up and refereeing entails watching if contestants lift off the seat causing fouls. But certainly in sit-down, the winner has the strongest arm.
