Has been solid progression. I've added around 10 lbs to almost all of the movements.

I'd assume (Im no expert at forearm training), you'd want to focus on riser and supination for the 'top of the forearm'... but I could totally be wrong
Makes sense. Most of the forearm stuff I've been doing so far has been pronation and cupping. Lots of wrist curls. I'll start adding more riser and supination stuff.

Id think reverse wrist rolls would help too.

Also....

KOTT 14 this weekend.

The more I watch MMT the more I can't stand him. I really want Vitali to crush him.

Same.

Dude just seems super delusional... and his 'record' lifts generally are bullshit... his pronation will fail... or his riser will break... and he still counts it.

Decent event. A few surprises. Couple injuries, hopefully Georgi and Rustam can heal up quick.

Matt had absolutely nothing for Nugo. That twitchy midget packs some serious power.
Genadi got fucking steamrolled.
Glad to see MMT lose. Apparently he never commits a foul and never gets pinned. Ever. He knows better than the refs that have their face right there looking at it.

Vitali double arm champ by the end of the year?

I dont think Vitali has anything for Levan. I'm more interested in seeing Devon vs Vitali in August (since Devon's already booked for June).

Devon has a left hand match vs Kurdecha in June so if he wins then it wouldn't surprise me to see them do Devon vs Vitali in august for the left hand title and then Vitali vs Ermes/Levan for the right hand title at the end of the year.

Update from my side... finally found a group that has practices around here...

First practice will be Wednesday evening. We'll see how I feel Thursday after getting destroyed by people 50+ lbs smaller than me. Apparently Artem Taranenko trains with this group now and then.

First arm wrestling practice in the books… then went to the gym like a dumbfuck.

lats and side delt workout was a fucking GRIND.

it’s crazy how much technique matters… super humbling being far stronger than someone and not being able to stop them from a pin.

was an awesome time, but I’m sure I’m going to be feeling this tomorrow. About 2 hours of pulling.

Lucky! I can't find anywhere to arm wrestle near me. No facebook groups. I signed up for Armbet and it found 3 people in a 25 mile radius, none active in the last 6 months.

Yeah... according to the guys there, Facebook seems to be the best place for finding arm wrestling practices.

I really just lucked into it. I noticed one of the murals at my gym was tagged 'toprollking' which happens to be Artem. So I just messaged him on IG and asked if anyone trained around here. He then directed me to this group.
