Coaching Tips

  • Set resistance at arm wrestling table height
  • Use body weight to assist the press

Common Mistakes

  • Only training one grip variation and assuming it covers both — pronated and supinated side pressure train genuinely different attacking positions
  • Trying to generate pressure from the arm alone instead of body weight and leg drive
