How to remedy a weak brachioradialis

Had a good tip from a veteran armwrestler named Tomas F�ltsj� about how to improve backpressure.

Doing over hand curls with a barbell. Since I only have a webcam and don't have space to bring my barbell in front of the webcam, I took a dumbell to demonstrate what I mean by overhand curls. Using a dumbell might work ok. The disadvantage using a dumbell is that your elbows tend to go outwards, which is not the case with a barbell.

Here you curl the weights with a overhand grip

Starting isn't a problem anymore

Caught a cold one week before "bargarens minne" competition that the club i belong to arranged. Attended right after the recovery. That felt tough in the morning. When standing at the table and pulling, it felt allright anyways. I dont feel that the problem with my slow starts is a problem anymore. Managed to develop a good hand control to feel if the opponent manages to jerk away faster than me. The idea I use is that if the opponent does a big fast movement, i can counter it easily with a smal fast movement. You just have to make sure to back it up with good force. No medals gained, I gained something much more important : self esteem about starts, and insight about how to develop better armwrestling.
I took a right arm picture in the morning before the competition, it will need more workout for better performance o the table hehe.
