Is it just me or has all our regular channels and armwrestling as a whole come along way forward in the last year. I love it, want to keep the momentum going. Watching both Janis and Ryan win at Wal was pretty cool
This is a great technique to beat bigger people. Though like Janis said it requires strength from the bicep, lats, hand, and wrist to block their hook. Making them hold onto you is a great way to top roll into their fingers. The lat drag (backpressure) is only as good as the bicep/brachioradialis that keeps the elbow angle tight and keep up pressure into the opponents fingers. Great video thanks guys!
if you lean forward with your shoulder the angle becomes easier for lat drag without bicep as much because its going through the bone instead of against it (if that makes sense) similar with kings-move, 'side pressure' is coming through bicep when your whole arm is pronated and you are camping under the table, instead of 'actual side-pressure' stood up ... because of the angle.
How to be better if u have short fingers and short arm? My hand and finger are so easy to get opened when my opponent is top rolling me.Also if my opponent is getting his hand as high as possible, I cant even hold his hand and makes my eblow lifted up the pad as my arm is too short. I really wanna know what can I do😭
Thanks a lot. This is the first time I find out about high hook. After learning about the weakness of high hook, amazingly, I can defeat my high hook opponent with ease. I tried it right away and it works.
Great video! Would have been even better if Janis broke down his recent match vs Holland since it was good example of hook vs top-roll fight. What worked for him, what didn't, how was he able to come back from 2 bad starts etc. It's one thing to present theory like this but another to give real life examples.
Janis is strong inside himself. He was able to stop Holland and, although he couldn't beat him in the hook, he was able to hold effectively until he could transition to a press. So I suppose the takeaway is have a strong defensive hook, a strong press, and be able to efficiently transition between them - even if your initial movement is with the intent of toprolling. Of course if you don't want to have to get so great at the defensive hook and also the press but do want to rely on your pronation for this, there's always the extreme toproll aka the king's move 😁
I am training for my first tournament in two months, thanks couch Ray for this. I'm really into top rolling so apparently dragging back it's a good way to attack the hook.
блин, я подсел на ваши видео, оказывается всё что нужно знать об арме у вас уже есть;) вы уже сняли на это видео и всё объянили;))) Вы делаете огромное дело в популяризации нашего спорта! Спасибо большое 😊 Damn, I'm hooked on your videos, it turns out you already have everything you need to know about armwrestling;) you have already filmed this video and explained everything;))) You are doing a great job in popularizing our sport! Thank you very much 😊
Great video but it’s worth mentioning that the grip before the start and how loose or strict referees are ,on grip and shoulder position and allowing you to “load”, plays a big role imo.. Many fights are won before they even start and equal fights are lost right there....
It's interesting that Janis didn't talk about chopping and low hand top roll against low hand hookers. If I am against a guy I know is going to low hook every time I will get a low grip on their hand. My bottom fingers will be on the opponents wrist. This will allow you to engage the lat more. You push hard down on their wrist with your hand and raise your wrist which blocks their hook. Then you just rotate and it sets your top roll. The chopping movement is key for me to stop the hook.
I am inside puller but when some1 supinate me i got very hard time. Because my hook i based on cupping and i dont have enough pronation to defend against is supination.
I really enjoyed this episode. I would like to see a mini series introducing arm wrestling to non armwrestlers, starting with the history of the sport then showing/explaining the different styles/methods used when competing and why certain methods of arm wrestling work better than others depending on which method your opponent decides to use against you during a match. Thanks for the fascinating information. I love the channel for the technical aspect and the In depth explanations. Cheers from North America.
A tec question for Amolins. When there is pressure and an opponent holds hard on my hand(no streps) ist it better than to use pronation from the hand joints to the forearm generating pressure on the little finger of the opponent? So, shortly, if I have no power in the wrist is it better to use the forearm bone as a leverage or it could be dangerous. Sorry for my bad english
best video.. hello brother i usually use hook long time back but after trying out toproll, now i tend to use mixed hook and toproll wich is more like a upper hook and pull like topsroll.. what do you think about this, will it really be good in long run and to be honest i have a dominian hook... hope you will reply😇
I would be interested in how you prepare your muscles for such a heavy load during a match, even if I train regularly, after the match I have so much pain in the biceps and elbow area that it takes me two months before I can function again. Thanks
I love how you guys break down different techniques and the many ways that they can be performed. I'm a top roller, so I'm loving this haha thanks Janis and Ray💪💪 ..still gotta work on my hook though..you should do a hook break down too👍
I am good at pull ups rather than push ups and My hand is short. My current technic is hook with shoulder press, it works. But my doubt is, do Pull up strength help me to be a good toproller, rather than a hooker. Is it fair to go to toproll?
I find it much harder to do such techniques in the strap, since the wrist is tied to the forearm, is there any way to deal with that? Maybe a loose strap? getting the strap lower on your forearm? Hope to see that in a future video, cuz this one was super informative, thanks!
I cant top-roll my friend right off the bat (he weighs 16st and i'm 12st) but if i hook with supination I can beat him. I cant curl my wrist when its posted for some reason, only when wrist is pointing down and through pinky finger ???
If you contra supinate and reverse pronate you will do well, but you may get a bone lock that may not undo. However , you will get a job as a part of a circus freak show.
Im curious if i could be successful arm wrestler .. i had a bicep tear and never got the surgery. My arm feels weaker and a little awkward now but arm wrestling isn't all biceps correct? Do you think its ok ?

Maybe Ryan Blue Bowen can make a review of that match! His match reviews are pretty good.

So I suppose the takeaway is have a strong defensive hook, a strong press, and be able to efficiently transition between them - even if your initial movement is with the intent of toprolling.

This will be very helpful against my uncle who like to shoulder press
Super helpful, thanks guys
Very good explanation
Quality video guys, thank you.

So what would be the best option focusing on your preferred technique or learning counter in every technique?
Love these guys!
Excellent and informative video!
👍🏻🙏🏻
Hi coach, beginner here.
Isn't the first hook you demonstrated (at around 2:40), the high hook, isn't it kind of like a toproll?
Thanks!
It's really helpful, thanks for both 👍💪
👍🏻💪🏻😊
Thank you
These technique videos are great
You are welcome!

Janis truly is a Jedi!!!
Love it! More like this please. Also, please do press video. It needs more love imo

The science of armwrestling at its best!
😎
Super well explain ! love it guys your great has always
:) Thanks
Janis is awesome, love coach ray too!
We appreciate that :)
The key of blocking inside attackers like hook and press is your back pressure and pronation
Or just hook or press against them
Thank you guys!
Thanks for explanation

Thank You!
Janis knows few things about armwrestling..hahah Legend! 💪maybe best video about technique out there

Thanks brother. We will think of something!
so to summarize, a posting toproll is a better counter to a high hook, and a low-hand top roll is a better counter to a supinating hook
A tec question for Amolins.

Baigie veči! Super 🦾😎💪😎
Paldies 🔥🔥🔥
some people talk abount kickback of the wrist when stopping a hooker for going inside, can you explain how that helps?
best video.. hello brother i usually use hook long time back but after trying out toproll, now i tend to use mixed hook and toproll wich is more like a upper hook and pull like topsroll.. what do you think about this, will it really be good in long run and to be honest i have a dominian hook... hope you will reply😇
Janis might be the GOAT at this move
Great video

I am good at pull ups rather than push ups and My hand is short. My current technic is hook with shoulder press, it works. But my doubt is, do Pull up strength help me to be a good toproller, rather than a hooker. Is it fair to go to toproll?
intelligence + physics + power = V.O.A. well done gentleman...zank you!!!!!!
👍🏻❤️💪🏻😂
I find it much harder to do such techniques in the strap, since the wrist is tied to the forearm, is there any way to deal with that? Maybe a loose strap? getting the strap lower on your forearm?
Hope to see that in a future video, cuz this one was super informative, thanks!

Uauu, very nice and simple explanation guys :-)

I cant top-roll my friend right off the bat (he weighs 16st and i'm 12st) but if i hook with supination I can beat him. I cant curl my wrist when its posted for some reason, only when wrist is pointing down and through pinky finger ???
If you contra supinate and reverse pronate you will do well, but you may get a bone lock that may not undo. However , you will get a job as a part of a circus freak show.
Im curious if i could be successful arm wrestler .. i had a bicep tear and never got the surgery. My arm feels weaker and a little awkward now but arm wrestling isn't all biceps correct? Do you think its ok ?
If there is no pain and you strengthened it then its ok
