Recently got home from a training session, the last one right before a contest called 'bagarens minne'.
It is the club I belong to that arranges this one. I have no idea if this one will have many contestants.
We did some ordinary resistance pulls, I try to get better feeling in the arms. It seems to work better and better for each training session now. The pains that used to occur during and after the training has more or less ceased. Still today I got a slight pain while trying to do a shoulder press. There was a quick side force to stop my attack and I didnt follow it up so it ended with me having a lot of straining there. Well well I see it as a way to learn to adapt for future use hehe.
The grip training I do is modified to suit the armwrestling better. This means I don't primarily focus on closing the CoC #3 consistently at the moment. I focus on increasing the endurance on the #1 and #2 CoC. Since I have experienced that this puts better chance to more stable results in the armwrestling tournaments. I will focus on peaking the grip when I have managed to increase the wrist strength a bit. The plan for this is to be able to force people into hook with wrist force and if that fails try a good torsion force. I exercise torsion movements to with dumbells that you can attach weights on on your own. Here i attach weights only on one end of the dumbell to isolate torsion movement better. Also I use the PowerBalls as excersice more often than usual. I try to simulate wrist movements that I want to do when armwrestling to get better feel when doing them. I use both he metal PowerBall and the standard one. I gravitate using the standard powerball more often to avoid overstraining since I do practice with grippers, dumbell and armwresting, The standard PowerBall doesnt strain my arms that much as the metal can do, meaning I can do more endurance training. As of now I try to get stronger thumbs, ring and pinky fingers. By holding the powerball in certain ways you can achieve more stress on specific fingers. I will post more about this later.
