The best exercises

The program of trainings for occupations is aimed by an armwrestling at the development of muscles of hands, shoulders, breasts and backs. In the absence of an opportunity to be engaged on specialized exercise machines, the set of exercises can be carried out also in house conditions. Trainings for development of muscles under occupations are divided an armwrestling into basic (all muscles of an organism are preparing) and isolated (separate muscles or groups develop). Let's consider the most known exercises.

Draft in the horizontal block

Exercise develops the broadest muscles of a back, bicepses, wings and also in the form of auxiliary all participates a humeral and back belt. Technology of performance:

1. To establish weight (10 kg for men, 5 kg for women).
2. Legs rest against an emphasis and are bent up to 90 °.
3. Holding an equal back, hands delay on themselves draft the established weight.
4. When the case was located perpendicular to a floor, it is necessary to begin exercise repetitions.
5. Having straightened shovels and shoulders, the handle is pulled to a stomach and detain in such situation for a second.
6. Controlling immovability of the case, weight is released.

Exercise is done in 2–3 approaches of 10-15 times.

It will be for certain interesting to you to learn how to pump up a biceps.

Draft of the top block one hand with an emphasis

Such occupation develops as a muscle of a back and a humeral belt, and helps to pump up hands.

Technology of performance:

1. To take a dumbbell so that the hand with it was directed towards a hip, at the same time legs have to be together.
2. The torso is located parallel to a bench.
3. Lowering a shoulder a little, to straighten a hand.
4. During a breath it is necessary to conduct a shell up, straining all muscles.
5. In the top point of rise it is necessary to make a pause for a second and to exhale.
6. To repeat all actions by other hand.

Occupation is calculated on 2–3 approaches up to 10 vypolneniye.

Raising of a hammer or unilateral dumbbell

This occupation can be spent at home with a usual sledge hammer — for it the lever with a serious weight on the opposite end is necessary. It is possible to get also a unilateral dumbbell. In this exercise muscles of hands, shoulders, backs and the press develop.

Technology of performance in this case at all is simple — it is necessary to lift a shell bending of a wrist, but not all hand, at first forward, and then back. It is not necessary to exhaust hands with recurrence of performance, it is enough to reach feeling of muscular fatigue.

Extension of a brush with burdening

Power exercise which can do harm to the unprepared person. Houses it is carried out by means of a bar or a dumbbell.

Technology of performance:

1. In a sitting position, hands lie on a support (bench), and brushes are outside a support palms up.
2. The assistant gives a shell (dumbbell, two dumbbells or a bar).
3. Powerful movements the shell rises only by means of brushes, at the expense of a bend of wrists up.

About four approaches of presses are made till 15-20.

Pulling up on a crossbeam with a towel

Technique of trainings of hands by means of two towels is rather original — they are transferred through a crossbeam or a horizontal bar on width of shoulders, and the athlete is brought up on them, having taken by the hanging-down edges. In this exercise it is important that palms were directed to each other. In this technique the broadest muscles of a back, bicepses, tricepses and brushes are well pumped over.

Exercise rather variable — only change of length, the improvised towel horizontal bar which is hanging down with, it is possible to change load of different groups of muscles.

Raising of a trunk with a disk behind the head

Exercise directionally on development of a back, press, bicepses and brushes. This type of occupations is designed for experienced athletes as excessive loadings can lead to traumatizing.

Frequent mistakes of beginners

In any business the correct approach is important, and preparation to a competition in an armwrestling is not an exception.

Whether you know? The world champion in an armwrestling among physically disabled people, Armenian Sarkis Stepanyan, without legs and one hand managed to defeat the rival who has two hands. The rival had an opportunity to hold the handle on a table, but lost to Sarkis.

There are councils by means of which the beginning athletes will be able to avoid the main mistakes:

• it is necessary to train taking into account anthropometry as the correct tilt angle, the draft length, withdrawal of a dumbbell from a torso — are especially individual;
• loadings have to be dosed, otherwise the discomfort or injuries is possible;
• it is not necessary to force the program of preparation — too quickly to gain muscle bulk it will not turn out, and the diseases accompanying loadings are quite possible;
• pumping of some separate muscles is fraught with ugly appearance;
• too great or insufficient efforts at trainings will not bring any benefit — there has to be an accurate plan of occupations made by the professional;
• after the training the recovery period is necessary — study of large muscles assumes three days of rest, after work on small muscles it is necessary to have a rest two days;
• it is impossible to pass or at all to stop trainings — the motivation is the most important factor of occupations;
• it is necessary to set the purpose, to plan the term of its performance and to seek to make it — the mission has to be executed, otherwise everything became in vain.

Armwrestling, as well as any other type of power opposition, besides a competitive component which is visible to the audience, comprises years of persistent trainings. It is difficult to come to the arena at all and to lay someone's hand. Both the strength of mind, and fortress of muscles, and application of the correct tactics is for this purpose necessary.
