With These Three Pieces Of Armwrestling Equipment In Your Closet, You Can Elevate Your Armwrestling Game To The Next Level
If you have stumbled upon the Grip Gladiators armwrestling blog for tools and training tips to become a champion of the table, you have come to the right place. Today, I am going to provide you with three, simple, cost-effective tools to help you up your arm blasting training game.
Here is what every armwrestler needs:
- Dumbbells/Weights
- Towels
- Ropes/Belts
Why Dumbbells And Weights Need To be In Your Armwrestling Toolkit
To strengthen your armwrestling pronation, you will need gravity to work against you as you pull against your competition. The thing I like about dumbbells and weights for armwrestling? They don’t have to be the most expensive part of your training if you don’t know what you are doing.
Don’t buy online. However, do buy those rusty, old iron weights from someone’s garage or a third-party marketplace. Don’t invest in a ludicrous amount of fee weights and elaborate exercise sets — if you need more weight, attach some cinderblocks. I am not kidding.
Save your wallet and your armwrestling training routine, buy cheap, train hard, and just ensure to wash your hands after a session!
Those Olds Towels Are Back In Business
Ragged, old towels are perfect for building your own set of DIY fat grips to engage your forearms for armwrestling training. Wrap towels tightly around a dumbbell’s center grip and expand the width. This will activate your forearms and brachioradialis more when you hold the weight, which will give you the grip of a professional rock climber.
The icing on the cake? Old towels you use to wrap around dumbbells cost a grand total of $0.
You Need Ropes And Belts But Not For Clothes
Martial arts belts you have lying around from your karate days and ropes you might have from tying things to your car are perfect for armwrestling training. These simple, cost-effective tools allow you to add some distance between your arm and the weights. That distance your arm has to travel can simulate a match, and by proxy, emulates an even heavier pulling motion. Just ensure you have these tied securely to your weights and you keep your toes out of the way if these ropes/belts break!
Simple Tools For Armwrestling
Any of the greatest armwrestlers can vouch for the simplicity and fun of armwrestling training. It can be as hard as you want to make it. Also, tools and equipment for armwrestling training are cheap. It is supposed to be that way. Armwrestling is inherently a DIY and find-out-as-you-go kind of sport. Enjoy, be safe, and please keep those arms on the pads of the table!
