Auden, it's great to see you following dad with the educational side of supporting the sport. Be a teacher, always, as well as a student. Teaching tasks you to focus on refining and learning from what you're proving you already know or not. One of the greatest gifts a person can give, is the gift of knowledge.
Many people saying wow he is like his dad and stuff and I agree, but he also has his unique character. He explains the things in a unique way. I like that he is already so far for his age. Respect 👍🏼
I don't armwrestle but got into your Dad's channel about 2 years ago for something different in my arm workouts that were getting a little stale. You are very knowledgeable for your age and explain it in a way that is easy to listen to and you have a knack for teaching even at a young age. Keep yourself grounded and you have a bright future.
Damn, imagine having an athlete parent at the top of their sport. You see so many children of ex nfl players in the league extending past their parents achievements. Thanks for the content Auden 👍, you got the frame, knowledge, and an excellent coach in your corner. Love to see how high you can soar!
Getting massive Auden. I’ve been trying to focus more on recovery exercises lately. I was doing most of these motions but I was being inaccurate in most of them. Perfect timing, thank you!
Thanks Auden, after my first exhausting but super exciting training at the table I had a lot of pain especially in my left elbow and after doing these exercises I already feel better. Super-useful, thank you a lot, good job!
Thank you so much man i been pulling non stop in hawkesbury and my arm was so dead i had to stop all together lowered my weight all the way down to 20lb and started doing this and i am feeling better then ever
I found that even with the lightest weight possible, doing a lot of reps (50-100) in recovery work really taxes my ligaments and joints in my tfcc and loosen it more, and also it aggravates my wrist flexor tendinopathy from the huge volume, so I always avoid it and does overcoming isometrics instead
THIS. Blood flow work has always aggravated my wrist tendon synovitis (my flexor carpi radialis tendon specifically) and one of the most important things I learnt early on was to absolutely avoid blood flow work for this tendon. Just infrequent heavy loading is enough for it to progress
@@gerardt3284 high five i guess lol, my tendinopathy is on the flexor carpi ulnaris, thankfully after a year of avoiding blood flow work it's finally getting better and my cup seems to have come back
@@abcde1a just be sure it's the "flexor carpi radialis" tendon... not the "flexor carpi ulnaris"... If it's the radialis tendon sheath that you have inflammation in, be VERY careful. This tendon glides under the trapezius bone in the wrist.. which is why the swelling in the sheath surrounding it is so devastating; it has no room and gets squashed inside the small bone space, stinging if you try to even stretch it or hold a 5kg dumbbell. Typical arm wrestler blood flow work will irritate this tendon/tendon sheath surrounding it, making it spiral downhill and could cause you to need cortisone injections, and if extreme, surgery... if your problem is anything like mine, and has progressed to a bad level, you have to stop ALL weight training and ALL table training with that hand. Complete rest for a month at least. The inflammation has to clear down, then slow loading from 1-3kg upwards... not kidding. This isn't like the flexor ulnaris which can handle tons of punishment and swell up as much as it wants. Also, be careful with any isolated supination type movements. The flexor carpi radialis is not a prime mover, but still heavily stabilizes during supination movements and can get very easily irritated again if you're not careful. Also approach table time very cautiously... you can't go into full force battles straight away. make sure all your table partners are gentle with you as you progress back to a healthy state. I would also do pumpkin training on the non-injured arm in the meantime. This is all the advice I can give based on my personal experience, hopefully your problem isn't as bad as mine was (I couldn't even arm wrestle a 7 year old child without stinging pain)
Great informational video, you have a good way of explaining your movements. Keep up the good work, Can’t wait to see you progress in arm wrestling. #futurechamp
the pain is most common when you havent been that long into arm wrestling, most of the time its tendon pain but it can start off with muscular pain but your muscles will adapt a lot faster than tendons and thats when your muscles become stronger than tendons which causes pain the type of intensity in the video recommended is similar to a physiotherapists intensity for ligament recovery, like a small warm up lift with rep volume
There're so many exercises and repranges etc. Could you make a video on how to determine which you should pick and how to make a weekly schedule out of them?
Good stuff! I like doing these with a light rubber band. It feels great doing the full motions for 50+ reps and get the blood moving. I think many people have the wrist kinda dislocated from too much pronation. They don't have enough strength in supination to keep the wrist stable when pronating. An indicator is sometimes having the wrist "bone" (kinda looks like a lollipop) sticking out. Doing supintion, opposite of riser (downwards) and kick backs with a rubber band helped me heal the wrist and make it stronger.
I think it's a genetic thing too. I got up to 45kg dynamic pronation full ROM holding the strap in my hand (not thumb) and my ulnar bone never stuck out more at all. I've naturally always had a tight ligament in that area (you can't even see the ulnar stick out at all); it's all in perfect alignment
Good to hear perspective of a young athlete. Devon has so many years of adaptation behind him that it is unclear, if his methods would work on someone with much less adaptation.
Hey auden when r u pulling at Manchester uk arm wars ? Rooring 4 ya buddy u got the best teacher ur dads a legend of the sport y favorite puller mr no limits
The pain in ArmWrestling only last for a couple of months and if you pull everyday with the pain present your arm will get use to it.....I've been pulling for a year now and the 1st months are a nightmare especially at night enduring the pain after pulling, but eventually the arm gets used to it and the pain will be gone like it disappears totally....I always pull everyday with three of my friends like it's a 3v1 match....
This only helps if you are not too badly hurt, Imo you should avoid getting ripped open while going as hard as you can at least for a few months of table time practice, really taking your time to get your arm used to arm wrestling stress. If you go too hard or too long immediately as you get into arm wrestling at a club or doing heavy armwresling workouts, you risk creating really deep inflammation that lasts for weeks and this whole blood flow deal doesn't help, at that point you have to let it rest to recover and that SUCKS. It's better to have shorter workouts and let yourself get pinned if you are overpowered. Don't let people get in your head if they say they don't feel you or that you should try harder at the table or to armwrestle them, if you don't feel like it or you think you've done enough for the day. Avoid damaging your arm in the first few months. After you condition your arm, which can take months or even a year or two, you can start going harder and longer and also get ripped open even when trying hard cuz at that point your arm is conditioned and will recover way faster and you won't suffer for weeks. This works for Auden because he's been armwrestlinh since he's a baby as per his dad's words, so he has already went through the conditioning phase essentially. I wish I knew this when I was starting because I went through multiple phases of weeks or even up to 2 months of residual deep elbow pain after going all out but later on after getting conditioned, going all out and getting ripped open and getting some pain but this time it going away in just a few days! Not weeks.
I normally do 3 sets of 40-100 reps depending how light I'm going. If you don't have lots of time though you can drop it to 1 set and just really get good motion every time
I still have a little finger-ligament pain where they attach near the elbow from a dozen pulls I had 10 ten days ago. I agreed to arm wrestle somebody in a serious match literally tomorrow. Perfect timing.
@@gerardt3284 take a few days without heavy training, sounds like overworked tendons. You'll want a full day with no pain whatsoever, ideally, before going heavy again. (only speaking from expierience)
