This Is One Of The Greatest Armwrestling Techniques Of All Time
The toproll is arguably one of the strongest armwrestling movements to train and is one of the best techniques to employ while you are armwrestling in a competition. It is more difficult to use against experienced arm wrestlers, but if you can initiate this complex movement as soon as the match starts, you will have already gotten yourself in a winning position!
What Is The TopRoll: The Outside Pull
It is a complex, compound armwrestling movement where you apply back pressure, sinking slightly backward, while simultaneously pulling up and over your opponent’s hand in a pronated movement.
Imagine performing an extremely heavy hammer curl with your arm on a bench or a table – that is the general movement of the toproll.
This folding of your opponent’s wrist backward extends their arm and reduces the amount of leverage they have during the match. If you can toproll your opponent quickly, you will make it extremely difficult for your armwrestling competition to make a comeback at the table.
How Do You Train The TopRoll?
This is pretty simple! You can do extremely heavy hammer curls and focus on holding the movement, pausing the movement, and most importantly, quickly bringing the hammer curl up towards your body. You will be surprised at how many arm muscles are utilized in this arm wrestling movement!
Perhaps, the most effective method is to create a weight-lifting machine/contraption where the pulley cable is parallel to the flat table and the weight is connected on the other end.
Then, just like a tug-of-war game, you practice quickly pulling the weight across the table with your elbow firmly planted. You can also simulate this by curling or pulling from a cable machine.
