Coaching Tips

  • Keep the elbow anchored on the table throughout
  • Movement is toward the thumb (radial) side

Common Mistakes

  • Using a table surface at a different height than a real armwrestling table, changing the leverage away from a realistic position
  • Letting the elbow lift off the table during the lift instead of keeping it fixed the way a real match requires
