I’ve been arm wrestling for about 3 months and have really become obsessed with it and after I’m improving thanks to you sharing your knowledge and experience.

i have had a problem with my tendon in my right arm, and i arm wrestle with some people but I'm so weak and i felt the main pain when i train my triceps but i watched a video of yours and it turns out to be a pronator muscle in forearms (I don't remember the name LOL) but your very helpful and this helped and relieved me so much and after this i took a full week of, light weights only. so now i take two weeks of light weight and 6 weeks of normal heavy weights. and thanks again you're a great you-tuber and a coach wish u best of luck

U need to be patient in odrer to become stronger. I injured my hook (golfer's elbow) and i rest ot for 1 year. Now its stronger and more durable and doesnt feel pain after hook training

I came to training 3 days after my first comp. It was brutal... Been a bit over a week now and it's much better.

Very informative Coach

Great video!!

Great videos bro!!

Coach Ray , thank you for this video I am experiencing this ATM 🙏 your a life saver

My injuries are not from arm wrestling. But your information is excellent and relevant. I appreciate you!

Very informative coach

The pain is huge in my left arm, mainly from doing Hammer curls, pronater injury from what you've said. But it's been 8 weeks now, so I'm gonna revert to light weight for ten days, dam I wish I'd found your channel earlier.

Just found your channel its amazing liked and subscribed

I'm gonna compete in 2 months and this helps me a lot! thank you

Thank you for this video. I am a new puller and keep inflaming my tendons so bad I cannot do anything and had no idea how long to rest or what to do about it

I'm a calisthenics athlete and this vdo helped me a lot thanks u bro.

Great visdom and videos

Good job nice topic thanks

Arm wrestling seems to put extraordinary pressure on the tendons in short bursts. For golfer elbow from paddle boarding, I try to frequently work out my tendons at 1/5 th heavy training weights. I do 1 rep of 10 to 20 curls thirty times a day. This levels up the baseline. I mix it up with full training three days a week but still do the other 30 reps.

I take 10 days... I found that 2 weeks is to long ( almost lazy feeling) and 7 days is not quite long enough, but I have only been pulling for 6 months. So I am still experimenting 😁

I also take 7 days of before bigger competitions, complete rest without training, works fine for me. Before smaller competitions i only take 2/3 days tops, but in the last training i take care that i dont completely destroy my tendons :)

I cannot find the recommended supplements in the description. I would be very interested in what you can take to support healing.

I know a lot of arm wrestlers just have tendinitis, which is the temporary acute pain that is discussed in this video. But a lot of arm wrestlers and a lot of commenters here have tendinopathy, which is chronic pain from damaged tendons. Tendinopathy may be more common than tendinitis. Treatment for tendinopathy is very different. Bottom line is that tendinopathy never heals. But, recovery is achieved by doing careful specific training to build new tendon around the permanently damaged parts. Over time, your tendon can be stronger than it was before the injury. But the worst thing for tendinopathy is rest. You need to be on a program that carefully builds the tendons using isometric and eccentric exercises. Then, as the tendon strengthens, heavier loads and explosive movements can be added to rebuild tendon elasticity. All the people here who are talking about how a year of rest did nothing to fix tendon pain…you’ve got tendinopathy and rest is the exact wrong thing to do to recover because you are just allowing a damaged tendon to weaken through lack of use.

Hello coach ray how are you doing? probably awesome right now east vs west 3 wow that's amazing congratulations. I am new to arm wrestling 1year now with rigorous training every day even thru where I work also I have dedicated myself to becoming a monster I have gained 50 pounds in the year naturally and want to be the best I invented arm wrestling work outs with new contraptions my arm is always sore and I only train my right arm only. Do you have tips on the pain in tendon below thumb?

Hello Coach Ray, Thanks for sharing the workout plan. I have 2 questions - 1. What does "intensity 80% - 2 reps left" means. Is it that we can leave 2 reps. 2. Every week its till day 3. Are these consecutive days or with one day gap. If consecutive then for rest 4 days, is it rest ?

I like the Devon Larratt style of training, using a table, pulley system and a Multispinner and Karate belt. Can I do this everyday as long as I feel fairly fresh and don't have much pain in my tendons? Is there a certain volume and intensity that I should not exceed, if I exercise everyday, to avoid tendon injury?

What exercises or movement's can one do during the rest period..been sitting with an injury for over a year

Love your content so much. I'm quite new to armwrestling. Is it ok to do your 6 weeks program and do some moderate powerlifting in the same time? Or it would be to much and I won't recover? Thank you

Hey coach ray i really hope you will see this i was wondering about your opinion because i injured myself armwrestling 2 years ago i got a shoulder surgery about 2 years ago where they shortened my bone of the top on the shoulder, so i was recovering and later on went to physiotherapie. I eventually stopped going cause i was bored of it cause i was lifting really light weight on high reps and i started armwrestling with my arm. everything was fine at first but after some time i armwrestled a lot and im new to the sport i armwrestled several days in a row and on the last match i i was hooking in a defensive way with all my strength (without my pronator turned and not turned away from my hand) and suddenly i felt a slight pain in my shoulder and stopped so i got tendonitis on my biceps tendon ive been having it for 2years now and dont know how to fix it i tried resting but when i started armwrestling again it the light pain came back ever since my arm feels way weaker than before. How do you think i can fix it?

5 weeks rest before Tournament. I discovered it on accident being unable to train for 5 weeks, but my arm was made of steel after that rest duration.

Hey brother I’m only 3-4 months in and I had a really hard pulling sessions about 8 days ago and I started feeling good I thought yesterday I was good and did a hard pull up and bicep day and just set me back… Is this normal.??

Are collagen peptides a good supplement for armwrestling?

I’m new to the sport my arm is always in bad pain after I try a match. Is there something I can put on the back of my arm for the pain ? I feel like it will never go away for me to even learn the sport it feels like my arm has been ran over lol

I take at least 7 days off before a tournament. So far so good

I don't think I pulled a tendon but when my wrist bends in the direction of my knuckles, or in pronation, there's a lot of pain and sometimes very slight crunching. Can anybody suggest what I can do to heal faster? I lose muscle pretty fast when I stop training, so I'm hesitant to drop the workouts. But I also don't want to make the injury worse. I have been using slightly lighter weight with some wrist support and pushing through the pain.

I have a 7mm tear in the left elbow in the common extensor tendon two years and not changed size though it has gone from 3mm to 2mm thickness. I had a 6mm tear in length and 3mm thickness in the right elbow same tendon but now its 11mm and 0.5mm thicknesses. And that's been a year a d a half that side since tested previously. I have not been training in the gym, just living my life normally and I surf and swim and only do push-ups and body weight lunges now. Its been two years and almost no healing. If you have any suggestions that dont cost a fortune that be a big help. Note: surgeon says i am not a candidate for surgery and should heal but its not really healing the way it seems from the last ultrasound. Any help greatly appreciated

I have right arm tendon pain . For 3 4 months . I fully recovered but my maturity is not 100 so i got pain agian after 2 weeks . Of arm wrestling. Now i think i need to take a 6 month brake from arm wrestling wrestling. But i have 1 question. Can i train for arm wrestling. But not go to the table for 6 months . Is there's any problem in recovery .

I train pretty heavy and was able to to back session tues, and armwrestling specific weight training Friday. But then after my first real arm wrestling practice with some strong pullers. My left arm had a decent pain in the bicep bust more so in fore arm. To the point where it hurt to bend my arm for 2 days so my question is when is it safe to go back on the table and should this type of pain go away next session?.

Hi sir! How often i have to train for armwrestling?

Is that healing naturally or surgery

i heard a large pop near in my elbow during arm wrestling i'm 66kg and my opponent was 100kg after pulling i can move my arm around after the next day i cant fully extend my arm but ican lift something but i cant fully extend my arm... I hope you can help me and give some tips about recovery love from philippines.

Random idea. What if I just trained sidepressure every other week? Like a power week then cruise week => repeat. Power week is agressive as all hell and on cruise you take things a little lighter.

Yes yes yes !

I usually take 7 days off before competition but sometimes still feel pain in my tendoms during the tournament even though I had some serious rest. I have the same, after tournament or heavy sparing I go back to the gym after 2-3 days and don't feel any pain during regular gym exercises but when I grab with someone on the table the pain is huge

10 days is the best for me

Whenever i do press in arm wrestling it pain like in your inner elbow.. bro tell me what to do , its already a year and the pain is still there

Bro should I workout the whole week or should there be a rest day

I only take 3 days off before tronamnet 🤔🤔.

The time increases as you age.

inflammatory phase can last 3 weeks

I used to arm wrestle a lot and now my elbow has not stopped hurting for three straight months. Any suggestions?

Does high rep high volume low weights type of training help to condition tendons?

I am an armwristiler from india around 6 years ago I broke my Tendon while a completion I was used to only hook style ,Now I'm trying to practice arm again but I only can play Toproal style, when I try hook position still pain on my tendon,.. 5 years rest no recovery.?

So you are telling us that we have to train only one time per week :(

I am curious to know how frequent are tendon ruptures in armwrestling.Does anyone have experience with this?

I had my training on table with my team and i felt pain and aching on my shoulder and joints. Is it adviceble to do very light training the following day with the idea to pump blood and oxygen to that affected area? Or it's better to get a total rest till the pains fade away? By the way i had been training everyday nonstop for almost 2 months and these pains and aching are the worst now. How should i proceed and my competition is in 3weeks time.

Would a Labral Tear in a shoulder be able to heal without having an op?! T.I.A

I popped my elbow while arm wrestling.. its been 6 months now.. it pains while lifting weights.. what can I do ?please make a video for elbow pop healing

Up to 6-months to heal??? Try 2-years!

How we know for sure either our training is affect our muscle or tendons ???

most tendon damage will last a life time

Six months?!?!.....fuck that. I want a second opinion...

Hi Iam not a arm wrestler but 3 weeks ago I done an arm wrestle for a bet, not my upper fore arm is on pain I'm guessing I've damaged tendon. Do you recommend I take time of the gym?
