Side Pressure Drills
Side pressure drills simulate the lateral pressing motion used at armwrestling-table height, training the brachialis, shoulder, and the ligaments around the elbow that take real lateral load during a match — not just a forward-pulling motion like most gym exercises.
Muscles Worked
Brachialis, lateral ligaments, shoulder
Equipment
Cable machineResistance band

Coaching Tips
- •Set resistance at arm wrestling table height
- •Use body weight to assist the press
Common Mistakes
- ✕Pressing straight down instead of at the table-height angle the technique actually uses
- ✕Trying to generate the pressure with the arm alone instead of driving it from body weight and leg drive, the way side pressure works at the table
