The 3 Main Dimensions of Armwrestling Tightness
Спорт
As a beginner to arm wrestling, we are often told to "keep tight" when arm wrestling for reasons such as safety and leverage.
For some, this is as intuitive as breathing. But for others, it is not so straightforward. There are multiple aspects to keeping tight on the table, but today we’ll focus on the 3 main ways.
Watch on as I dissect what arm wrestlers are actually talking about when they talking about the setup on the table.

Eat hearty my good man! It’s an amazing sport with a wealth of topics to chat about!
I set up differently depending on who my opponents are. For instance if i face a toproller that is much taller than me, I'll go for a low top roll where i focuse mainly on cupping and backpressure to open my openents bicep and if I've opened him ill go with side pressure to finish before he can adjust. If it's a short toproller i generally try to get as much height as i can so i can take the hand with toproll so my main focus is pronation and riser to quickly open the hand. Guys who hook quickly ive noticed ill just go aswell in a hook because i loose the toproll with their speed in intiating the hook, so i surprise them with an hook aswell. I generally toproll if its somebody ive never faced as i don't know what he will use, then after ill learn his patterns to decide on a counter. Everyone has different sizes, strengths and leverages. So the best way to armwrestle is to find your opponents weaknesses in my opinion.

Great answer! Being dynamic and having the ability to adapt to different opponents is one of the core skills to develop as a puller. Great explanation and thanks for sharing your experience, Leon 💪
Devon's tightness only matters when he's facing those weaker than he is, Levan ripped his ass out of that position easily.

I know right? And we haven’t even talked about arm wrestling yet!
I think another interesting dimension of tightness could be "synergistic tightness", the ability to engage all of the "tightness areas" simultaneously. A common problem with beginners is that they tend to only be able to contract one or two at a time, which leads to a feeling being "disconnected" and not tight. Just a thought.

I agree with most of this. Even when pressing, I feel much more power if my elbow is tucked tighter for more lat engagement. Another note is that it is also safer to lose with your elbow tight as the lats have a secondary function of external rotation. E.g. if your elbow is far from your body when you are getting externally rotated, more of the pressure is likely to go through the elbow and humerus. However, when the elbow is close, your lat will take on more of that external rotation pressure as your opponent drives sideways. Thanks for the video!

Awesome, great to hear that you've also been implementing such techniques into your game!
So if you’re setting up as a toproller, you want your elbow to be as far to the back of the pad without giving up any leverage?

As a general tip, yes! Balance of engaging dragging backpressure, but still maintaining posting height.

@EastsideArmWrestling I actually like to start with my elbow towards the front as a toproller; it gives me more height, and since I have a strong lat drag, it enables me to start by driving backwards really hard. I'm still somewhat new though so I'm trying it all out.

Nothing to be afraid of. My advice is to pull with an experienced puller. Pulling with another beginner is less safe as both won’t be as experienced enough to know how to be safe.

Keeping your arm as close to your body as possible isn’t good advice in my opinion, what you SHOULD do is find the angle that YOU feel strongest at, while simultaneously getting the leverage that you want. Everyone is built different, some people may be way stronger with a more open arm position, and others with a closed arm position. It’s not a one size fits all setup.
