Which Muscle is Most Important for Arm Wrestling: Biceps or Forearms? 

Y’all are the most genuine when it comes to arm wrestling talk, laid back and real. Keep them coming bro!

The WHOLE body as a unit 🖐🏽💪🏾😬

incredible how you guys read the comments and always give back an answer to all the interesting phrase and questions. So, that's one for you: in which case should i train with isometrics exercise? are they always good, bad or useful for a specific situation?

Straight to the point. Excellent video

Great videos guys

Last week i dont remember where i heard the answer to this question amd was something like this: What is more important the gun or the bullets? They always come together or you will do nothing 💪🏻

I think the wrist flexors are the most important muscle group in armwrestling for most of people. Especially the ones who also help to lock the ellbow join. Brzenk once stated that they did an experiment. They tired out bizeps before training, which effected their training a little negativ. Another time they tired out the forarm flexors and the effect was suposed to be much more negativ than when they tired out the bizeps... I think you can't have strong enough forarm flexors. More strengh there is always better in armwrestling...

I believe a small muscle in the upper chest that is not the main muscle that you see make up most of the size of the "Pecs" on a bodybuilder or powerlifter at the benchpress is one of the keys that powers your ability to crank your opponent over. Provided your other muscles such as biceps or those that control the angle of your wrist on your arm aren't "weakest links". Something that torques the main bone in your upper arm to rotate against the force of your opponent. I suppose that some ligaments or tendons in the elbow have to transmit the torque to the forearm.

Love your content guys!

Thank you this helped so much!

Very Informative coach

Great perspective.

Hey Coach Ray, can you show us a video on how to increase VeCtOrS by 44%? I want to go to zloty. Thanks.

Ray , your site has by far the most impressive positive to negative likes ratio !! Its 270 - 0 by the time i post this. Besides joking that shows the level of respect people have to both of you and the level of your content... Awesome job , really ..

Great video guys.

They literally gave the answer in the starting 2 mins. Great video guys ❤️

In an informal armwrestle sometimes the persons jockey to get an asymmetrical grip where the "meanest" one can squeeze the hand of the other painfully but I think in a refereed match the referee is supposed to see that the grip is fair before allowing the match to start. Also sometimes the contestants try to win very quickly at the beginning before the other reacts. Probably that works best for the bigger guy against the smaller guy with the monkey look rope muscled arm that seems to keep pulling hard longer without tiring. Usually people who are friends don't try to get a crush knuckle grip on each other or try to trick/jerk suddenly right at the start. I think a referee can restart a match or declare a foul for certain things like trying to knock the opponent's elbow off of the table area where it is supposed to be.

You can definitely not lose your hand, just because your side pressure is stronger then your wrist flexion, You don’t have to go 100% with your arm if you wrist can’t hold it. you can open your angle which allows you to save your wrist letting you maintain your wrist on their side of the table hoping to crack their wrist before you get pinned.. think I’ll call it open angle top roll

It literally make me more clear that i have to work on my biceps... Thank you guys🔥🔥🔥🔥

I just found about this video and I was instantly happy because the bald guy(I am not dis respecting , I just haven't watched any other videos from this channel) has kind of Russian-Ukrainian english accent ! Imma use the tips too :) Thanks , helped a lot

We fans want to see real fight between you guys.😂💪 By the way excelent content as always!

Nice info guys

You can actually win if someone has a weak heart!! (I'm sorry that was a bit cruel)

Good video guys. Now how should we train our hand, fingers and wrist?

Very good question im interested now

I'd say the most important muscle is the one which is your weakest at the moment. I always concentrate on training my weakness.

I personally think both are equally important, many times have I’ve been able to take my opponents hand and not finish them. And many times I’ve had my hand taken but survived with only my bicep strength. The hand secures you having full access to all your strength, but if the opponent bicep strength surpasses both your own hand and arm strength then your done.

Coach what basic exercises you recommend for finger and wrist extensors? Apart from reverse curls...

How about for the lock which is better? John Breznk said your forearm and triceps lock your elbow joint far better than your bicep..what do you think?

Nice video

The Hand control is the very importante thing and a Strong pronation.

I've learned that staying tight in loosing or winning, you're still in the match

Coach Ray when is your supermatch with Frode?

sometimes i feel like janis is looking at the other dude thinking stfu lol. Maybe its just his natural facial expression idk lol

I'll comment before i play this video(as video caption). I prefer to choose isometric exercise..

Must be biceps ultimatly. No one loses until bicep is opened up. Taking the wrist acts as multiplier making attacking bicep easier, but still must then defeat bicep!

Could you please make a video about traps and one about ,as Ryan calls it, "wizardry"?

Janis is the champ I really appreciate these videos thank you very much guys

Where is this filmed? I'd love to have a workout at this gym one day.

Basically what we are saying is just train. Everything. Always.

Coach Ray Vs. Ryan Bowen will be interesting!!!😋

forearm for sure ,, just look at oleg!! ,, this guy has no back no chest no biceps no whatever and he can move incredible weight and beat much bigger opponents

There are two mindsets to training anything. Some people want to be pretty good at everything with no obvious weak link. Then there are guys who want to specialize at one thing and be the best at that. There are plenty of successful examples of each. Maybe ask yourself..."Self, does my girlfriend prefer big forearms or big biceps?" Choose that one. LOL

I think brachialis and forearm flexors

question: What muscle is used when pulling only in full side presure?

WTF!? I just got a notification for this vid and it's been out for almost a week. As a matter a fact, I got 7 notifications for older vids in the last week, just now. Man, RU-vid sucks donkey dick! 😡 I'm going to Jiu Jitsu class in an hour. Someone's gonna pay!!! 😡 Anyway, good vid! #youtubesucks

Снимите пожалуйста видео с Тарасайтисом, его тренировку,как пришел в спорт и др. ;)

The title is literally one question. Why is this over 10 minutes long.

I think high testosterone affect high strength is important for muscle grow and strength Am I right ?

Who is coach Ray’s hardest matchup at bottom 8?

How do u train for strong fingers

is it possible to be like devon?

I can do bicep curl ez bar 50kg/110 pounds for 7-8 reps when i am full energy 1 set, if not 4 reps when i dont feel so good, and i still lose sometimes easy vs ppl who dont workout and skinny why. I think i got weak forearms, wrist.

Most important muscle = hand control 😞 can someone just say the actual muscle (ie forearm muscle) I feel like hand is quite vague, is it wrist curls or grip?

What exercises should I do for more toproll strength?( preferably with a resistance band)

Well i dont know why but i think are shoulders instead

Brachialis and Pronator Teres 😃

Think most important is tricepts because we push others arm in arm wrestling and for pushing most active muscle will be tricepts

indeed...hart

Which exercises are the best for getting stronger in hook?

I think forearm

Brain muscle, focus because everything fails if one doesn't have one.

Oh

All is important" but the strongest is the forearms

Side pressure doesn't activate biceps,

has to be forearms since oleg has proved this

A strong bicep lets you use other muscles, like dragging without the angle opening. Wrist seems to be more for the advanced pullers who are already strong everywhere else.

Big biceps to scare your opponent before the match.

Does couch Ray or Janis have girl friends or are they in a relationship?

Easy look at Oleg Zhokh. That's the most important muscles.

Stop letting your hands fall on the table.. your micro hears everything!

Но насколько все таки важны векторы?!?!

Лайк)!

Grip strength forearms biceps genetics will get older

Bullshit i am left handet and i have bigger bicep on right arm and bigger forearn on left arm and i am stronger with left hand

In my opinion forearm. My bicep is not that strong,but i won a lot of guys by taking their wrist(amateur matches). I feel if you lose your wrist,your entire arm will fall.

Shots fired not a choice lol

Блин ребят, дайте русские субтитры

Don't need to watch the video at all. Forearm is the answer.

Train your veakness

Is that Russian accent? Just curious
