Thank you for these insights, Devin! These seem similar to a couple of exercises I do and I'd like your feedback, buddy. I have a Monster Crush from Country Crush (parallel grip handle with 3" diameter spinning handles) and do false grip pull ups (with the thumb on top essentially cupping the handle into the wrist actively) on it. I did a set of 20 yesterday and am working toward a one arm false grip pull up on the monster crush, with no help from the free hand. I can do a one arm pull up on a normal bar easily enough but I'm finding this quite challenging. I'm also messing around with shovel leveraging, where I hold a shovel in one hand farther down the handle as I get stronger over time and essentially hold the shovel straight out by the one hand. Holding the shovel with the head on the pinky side of your palm, and doing concentric reps lowering and raising the shovel by supinating, seems to be similar to your exercise fundamentally.
hey devon please make a video on how to improve the endurance in arm wrestling.. my problem most of the time is even though I have the lead and can't make a pin. as the time goes I get real tired. it feels like all my ppwer is used up amd I feel out and that guy can simply blow on my hand to do a pin. literally.. so please make a video on that. and I think a lot of people have this problem.
One question: I go for outside arm wrestling, but I want to incorporate the hook in my game. Is it possible to go for a outside hook style instead of inside hook style?
Hey devon i have ridicoulusly small wrists and i usually hurt my wrists when i arm wrestle. I am now doing alot of wrist and forearm exercises in the gym -is there anything you could recommend to build a stronger wrist?
What I never quite understood, is that supination makes your opponent 'see their palm'. I assume that means it makes their palm face towards them. But when cupping/hooking, doesn't supination make you face your own palm too? I have a heard time understanding when it's a good thing and when it's a bad thing.
@Devon I googled "arm wrestling bone line" and just got a bunch of links to videos of dueds getting their arms broken :-/ cool but gross lol. if this is a standard industry term it doesnt seem to be well defined. I also hear you use it in a lot of other instruction videos...any chance you can weigh in with a definition of what the "bone line" is and why its good/bad to "be on it"? Thanks in advance!
smeeb bimderbupo By 'bone line' he just means having your arm inside your body, having your hand inside your shoulders. But he was talking about taking your opponent's arm out of that area.
Humam Slayer Its more about pulling your arm, and not so much your elbow, though your elbow will move with it, but it can only go so far to the pad, and flexibility stops it further.
David Lopez kind of, but definitely not required. Spinning thing is for you to learn to control your wrist and basically stop yourself from rolling out of your hand.
My elder brother( taller and much stronger than me) used to pin in just 3 or 4 secs. I learned from your videos, exercised accordingly( specially for hook cuz my muscle for top roll is really very weak). and now I am able to hold him long. I believe, soon I will be able to beat him.
Putting stress on them and time. Good nutrition, probably milk or any calcium. And even breaks can make bones stronger. I forget the scientific term. Wolff's Law en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff%27s_law
I want the nickname little Larret so bad. I'm only about 5'11"ish. I know it's reserved for Milo but I can dream. Anyway crush Michael, take the big baby's hammer away. After all, "it's Devon Larratt's fault".
