This guy opens his mouth and gold pours out. Thank you Bob for all that you do brother. Give his videos a thumbs up so we can give a little back to the man.
This channel has been so valuable for me. I’m still getting into the sport and these videos have really boosted my understanding of all the movements and pressures on the table beyond what I could have figured out myself on the table. Thank you Bob
Man Bob Brown is such a gem for armwrestling. Coming from a big fan that's just now looking for his first match this dude is a great teacher, very thorough. I hope your channel takes off Mr. Bob Brown sir!
I've watched a lot of videos about Top Roll trying to figure out how to apply it better and you made understand it better than anyone else. I know now that I didn't use any back pressure and tried to go over my opponent's hand just by rising and pronating but that wasnt enough.
Thank you! Very encouraging. Back pressure is my strength. Need to engage it every time is all. I feel like I need to work on my bicep tho, to keep my hand close to me when I drag.
Very helpful!! Was looking for the answer to my training partner's insane cupping strength. Atleast i have small hope now to train back pressure and pronation as much as I can
I think the biggest example of this was Arsen Liliev, his back pressure was so insane, his hand was nothing special, but his back pressure open people up like crazy. I remember arsen liliev vs todd hutchings, he took todd back pressure away, todd couldn't side pressure & hook correctly because he was at an angle disavantage.
Hey bob can you touch on the topic about safety on the table, like how to prevent arm breaks and dangerous positions to be in and how to strengthen the to prevent breaks from happening. Im sure there are a lot of beginners including myself that will find your opinion on this matter invaluable. Thanks bob hope you keep these videos coming you're helping out a lot of new and old arm wrestlers out there. ❤💪
rising and posting are excellent counters to someone immediately trying to cup you. If you have the high ground, it helps lock your pronation and they can't cup it
I need to know whether it is good to lean pressure on pad while doing a posting up-pressure, or is it better doing just by maintaining the elbow angle with out pressure on pad. How to train better for it? Can we post from a hook?
Generally you never want to put pressure on the pad. Ideal scenario is to just hover on the pad and not use your muscles for a redundant pressure such downwards to the pad. Especially when you are posting as you want as much height as possible, that is the goal of posting knuckles up, being above your opponent. Just a centimeter makes a world of difference in height, and you can easily push a couple of cm down into the pad, making you be 2cm lower down instead.
My cousin/training partner also downpressures into the pad. It's a bad idea and it's wasted effort. Sometimes you need impart down presure but it usually about putting pressure into your opponents arm in some way or opening up their angle, and never about putting pressure into the pad.
I do it versus people who are way stronger than me it creates pseudo back pressure think of it like a door jam placing your foot against a shut door it’s extremely effective 👍 i found that i start with my elbow in the back when i do this though and i use my long forearm to meet my opponent in the middle of the table
HI bob.. I love watching your videos.. you are great orator and the way you explain things is incredible.. I am singer having armwrestling as a hobby.. I started a year back as right hand wrestler, even won a gold at a local tournament in my age and weight category.. during a practice session, I went full on with my left arm, without warm up and no sleep and broke my humerus bone, had a massive surgery with plate installed, I have kind of recovered, its been 6 months now..I am not sure if I will arm wrestle professionally but my passion doesnt diminish.. and I keep doing my armwrestling workout diligently even though my family doesnt want me to arm wrestle any more...but my research continues and my love for the sport ever increasing.. thanks for reading my story till now.. the thing I wanna know now is w.r.t. pronation and wrist curl.. which muscle can handle more weight if treated in isolation, cupping or pronating.. if just the two muscles were to be compared, which is bigger and capable of handling more weight.. hope I have been able to convey exactly what I am looking for.. and your help would be highly appreciated.. thanking you in advance.. regards, Kshitij
In isolated movements, Cupping is generally stronger than pronation. However, pronation is always utilized with back pressure which together usually beats cupping.
@@bobbrownfun exactly what I wanted to know sir.. thank you for your help and time..really means a lot.. wish you peaceful and a healthy life sir.. Regards :))
Hi Bob some wonderful stuff coming from you. Really enjoyed it. I've got one question about pulling in hook while maintaining one's pronation? I keep on loosing my pronation when I pull in hook (that's where I pull most if the times)
So you are a drag hooker and maintaining your pronator is very important. You must train that pronator. Your OWN drag puts pressure on your OWN pronator.
@@LoveYouAllaho Check out the 201 Armwrestling channel for their hook training videos. There Daniel shows how to actively engage pronation while hooking and how to train it. Might help you.
Back pressure is the most important piece in arm wrestling, however the hand and wrist can be a deciding factor when the back pressure is reasonable similar. Devons hand and wrist is top 2 or 3 in the world, and dwarfed Ermes wrist, winning him the match, Levan cant break back Devons pronation. Devons weak link is back pressure, but his back pressure was closer to ermes, than ermes hand to his hand.
Bob, is it better then to set up toproll with a locked pronator? I mean instead of starting with a neutral position, start with a negative position with respect to pronation because this is where the pronator will be the strongest. But, this would probably require training the backpressure in a different way, more like a reverse curl. I think there is a video of Dave Patton explaining that where he trains the reverse curl with an EZ bar on a custom bench like a spider curl. Your thoughts?
This guy opens his mouth and gold pours out. Thank you Bob for all that you do brother. Give his videos a thumbs up so we can give a little back to the man.
I agree with this video to a "t" Thanks Bob for being a genius.

Thank you Bob
Damn Bob, I had at least 4 lightbulbs turn on in my head from this. Thank you so much.
Always appreciate your videos, Bob.
Vicarious experience.
Very precise and accurate information, thanks and kudos.
I appreciated the intro.
The content was analytical and informational as always.
Thank you sir
That definitely answers my question Bob. I figured out where my problem is coming now & have started working on it. Thank you
This has been the best technical advice channel I have seen, I wish I had this information in my first year
Man Bob Brown is such a gem for armwrestling. Coming from a big fan that's just now looking for his first match this dude is a great teacher, very thorough. I hope your channel takes off Mr. Bob Brown sir!
Wow, watching this video while crapping was the best time ever. Will adjust my training regiment immediately, after I finish of course.
Great way explaining what’s going on! The static pronation tip was great as well.
You are a great teacher. Thank-you.
These videos are my personal favorite method of learning something. I LOVE the way you explain
Great video Mr. Brown. I hope that you keep at it.
great points and knowledge. Thank you
Another amazing video . thanks bob!
Good evening my friend I just came across this video and thank you for sharing your knowledge and information in away anyone could learn
Awesome video Bob!

Amazing lesson Bob :) Appreciated
Thank you! Very encouraging. Back pressure is my strength. Need to engage it every time is all. I feel like I need to work on my bicep tho, to keep my hand close to me when I drag.
Bicep, pronation and back pressure the key
This is sooo good!
Great explanation!
Bob your awesome, we should call you ""yoda"" of the armwretling world

his hand was the smallest hand ever in super heavyweight.

Evening Bob hope you are well loving the videos keep em coming please
Good stuff Bob👍
This is gold, thank you
I really like this video. Good info
A good one Bob, as always thought 🤔🙂
Alright now, bob brown town.
rising and posting are excellent counters to someone immediately trying to cup you. If you have the high ground, it helps lock your pronation and they can't cup it
I like the way u wink after every 10 seconds
This guy is a black belt armwrestler!
Thank you, I am going change up my pronation training now!
Thank you sir
This dudes face keeps becoming a 🤪 emoji
Very cool, thank for that explain to u, u are awesome
I need to know whether it is good to lean pressure on pad while doing a posting up-pressure, or is it better doing just by maintaining the elbow angle with out pressure on pad. How to train better for it? Can we post from a hook?
That's actually a good question. I want to know that as well, haha.
Generally you never want to put pressure on the pad. Ideal scenario is to just hover on the pad and not use your muscles for a redundant pressure such downwards to the pad.

Don't lever off the pad, maintain elbow angle and drag
My cousin/training partner also downpressures into the pad.
It's a bad idea and it's wasted effort. Sometimes you need impart down presure but it usually about putting pressure into your opponents arm in some way or opening up their angle, and never about putting pressure into the pad.

Bob! I watched a couple of videos of Jason Vale and he was a beast in the straps! Crazy back pressure for sure!What happened to him?
Very interesting
Bob brown is officially a armwrestling professor xD
Hey Bob, question for you. How did Jason train his back pressure? Thanks
Back pressure is the most important piece in arm wrestling, however the hand and wrist can be a deciding factor when the back pressure is reasonable similar. Devons hand and wrist is top 2 or 3 in the world, and dwarfed Ermes wrist, winning him the match, Levan cant break back Devons pronation. Devons weak link is back pressure, but his back pressure was closer to ermes, than ermes hand to his hand.
What are the best workouts for backpressure in your opinion?
My guy looks like john brzenk lite
😊
I wish i could pay to have you train me
Ermes had stronger backpresure than devon but devon was able to take his wrist through stronger hand and wrist
Why?!
Bob, is it better then to set up toproll with a locked pronator? I mean instead of starting with a neutral position, start with a negative position with respect to pronation because this is where the pronator will be the strongest. But, this would probably require training the backpressure in a different way, more like a reverse curl. I think there is a video of Dave Patton explaining that where he trains the reverse curl with an EZ bar on a custom bench like a spider curl.
Your thoughts?
What do you think of drugs in the sport.a em from norway i think it will destroy the sport😁🇧🇻💪
It will destroy some kidneys , the sport will be fine
@@Alex-1750 maby i think off the young gays and Girls Who will begin armwresling and they think dey whod bekome just like ryen bowen and others 👍💪
At this point it’s part of the sport it your choice to accept it or not
dude what you on ?
you sound just like Kurt Russel lol
