"When I first paid attention to this sports discipline I realized that armwrestling differs significantly from any other sport in trainings. Since 2000 (after the inculcation of armwrestling in Poland) I'm looking for different types of exercises and training methods helpful in achieving the expected success" - said Igor Mazurenko. ()
In recent years, specialized exercises using various training devices, both of those specialized, related to armwrestling, as well as those common which may be found in any gym gained the advantage in the strength training. For example, the competitor, which is Grzegorz Nowak, from Gdynia (Poland), we can show you the "way to success" through specific armwrestling exercises. Grzegorz is a perfect example of how to use gym machines to achieve success. Of course, this must be accompanied by a great desire and determination to achieve a goal.
Specialized armwrestling exercises well matched to the characteristics and capabilities of this competitor made Greg achieve significant success in the " VII Professionals' World Cup - Nemiroff World Cup 2009" (ranked third on the right hand in the super-heavy class) and "XX European Armwrestling Championships - Russia, Moscow 2010" (second in the up to 110kg left hand senior class)
What are specialized exercises?
These are exercises specific to the given sports discipline. In the case of armwrestling exercises are mostly approximate to the conditions of the fight at the table. Depending on the needs and possibilities each player must choose specific exercises according to the following three basic categories:
Predominant in these three trainings are undoubtedly specialized strength exercises.
This strength determines how the player will fight and how to beat your rival. Below we will show you special exercises to increase strength in the angles between the forearm and upper arm, and during so called pushing aside. Your attention should be paid to the fact that during the strength preparation period presented below Grzegorz Nowak along with performing strength exercises significantly increases the endurance. Reducing the load while trainings with the simultaneous increasing of the holding time we for sure increase the strength endurance of the muscles we are training. So at the same time we accustom our ligaments to the increased effort.
During preparations for the "Professionals’ World Cup - Nemiroff World Cup 2009" Grzegorz Nowak put a great emphasis on the wrist exercises. We were able to get to know how extremely strong his wrist is while watching a firm presentation at www.armpower.net, where Grzegorz showed internauts his maximum capabilities (he lifted 150 kg on the wrist). Paying great attention to the wrist, Grzegorz neglected a little bit strength results in so-called lifting on biceps in underhold or hammer in his training cycle. At the " Professionals’ World Cup -Nemiroff World Cup 2009" clear superiority of the Ukrainian competitor -Andrey Pushkar - over Grzegorz in these angles was visible. Since then, increasing the strength in that place was Grzegorz Nowak’s primary goal.
We invite you to try some strength exercises that Grzegorz performs during the preparatory period here
