side pressure

how do you train your side pressure

I use a piece of equipment but i have no idea what it's called. doh
It's pretty effective, i'm able to hold a handle in each hand with my elbows
in a my sides and work both arms at the same time.
I'll try and put a picture of it on, maybe someone can tell me what it's called.

I pull against a training partner holding me with both hands and trying to stop me getting to the pad, with little or no back pressure applied.

Ive gave up on it after pulling Craig at the weekend !




To tell the truth im using my Bullworker. and i can tell you its working very well.

Sound like a Knife and Fork mark , weve had um down here for a while now... Ha Ha

Hahahaha Funny man.
We rarely have the chance to practice with those fancy gadgets up here.
Even supermarkets are a rarity, it's easier to just go and catch our own food.
That's what fingers are for.

that's some serious piece of equipment Pawel !

A great looking piece of kit but come on, a severe waste of money.
This may be great for loads of guys to train on, in an environment were there's loads
of potential but otherwise.............

I agree Mark, if you are fortunate enough to be part of a large club, with lots of funding then this could be a great bit of kit for training on away from table time. Otherwise i reckon you could get the same results from bands, pulley's or statics.

ye iv used these types of things b4 and they r crap,if ur in a club u wanna actually armwrestle hard different arms not be messing around on a fancy machine,u think john brzenk would go near 1 of these in his training

Well said boys.
After all we're trying to encourage people into the sport.
If they come in expecting to train on this kind of kit and obviously don't
they're bound to feel a little disheartened.
The reality is as both of you say, 'the worlds best have gotten by just
fine on most basic of equipment".

ye its true mark,i think people are always looking for that magic exercise away from the table but there isnt one,nothing even comes close to armwrestling,specially for that joint pressure you need

I agree m8, even with a decent bit of power my arms were no where near as
able to pull for the length of time that they can now without a LOT of table time.

Anyone else think the first exercise looks more like it's working his triceps

well i have both side pressure machines , there working for me , its like any thing would work for some people not for overs , i can say personal over the last 5 weeks of using them my side pressure better so im going to keep at it.

Dont you get any problems with your shoulder Terry ? all that side hitting must play havoc on you shoulder joint ?

never some time my left arm elbow gets sore but thats it

I found it, you can see the thing i use for side pressure leaning against
the wall behind me in my 72kg wrist curl footage.
If anyone knows what it's called let me know.
