Any exercises someone can recommend for someone to train side pressure without a table?

I see a lot of people use tables to train side pressure and it would be great if I could get a setup going but I am broke. Any exercises that could be done in a regular gym?

Supplements for endurance

I find that most supplements that increase muscle endurance just give you a bigger/longer pump and in arm wrestling getting a pump is horrible. I get pumped super easily from arm wrestling, and it makes me not be able to pull as much as I would like to. Creatine and amino acids for example give you a bigger pump. What supplements have you found to actually increase your endurance when it comes to arm wrestling, that doesn’t get you super pumped? And should I not take creatine if it makes me get pumped easier but it also gives me a higher strength output so it’s weird. I think it’s assumed that if a supplement increases blood flow to your muscles then that means it increases your endurance, but increased blood flow also gets you more pumped.

Schoolboy

Considering that he has had a few notable wins, where would you roughly rank him in the SHW worldwide? (e.g. top 1000, 500, 100, 50 etc.)

I find it weird that petrenko was so dominant against dadikyan and ongarbaev.

And was so bad against John and Devon.

Anzor vs Tokarev

The win streak >!of Sergey is over. It looked good for him after the first round but Anzor had better endurance in flop press than Tokarev's open toproll. !<Would like to see either of them vs Schoolboy or Yurchenko in the Supermatch. RN we only now top 1 guy in Russia rh and have no idea who is after him.

top roll vs hook which one require more technique

Is it true to claim that one style is more technical than the other ? I think the top roll requires more technique, or maybe I'm just better at hook than top roll

hook and ulnar deviator

Is there a variant of hook that doesnt require commitment of ulnar deviator ? Or most of the time I dont need it and in just some cases that require usage of ulnar deviator ?

Koolaide Opinion: Jerry Wins a Round If He's Fast Enough

Disclaimer: I present scenario 1 first because it's the most fun. Scenario 2 seems more likely.

Scenario 1: Jerry is so much faster that he can reach his peak force and get an unbeatable position before Levan can engage any cup or backpressure.

In this scenario it's possible for Jerry to pin Levan immediately. Levan would be forced into a garbage position before he could even start pulling Jerry out of position making him unable to apply his strength effectively. If this scenario happens I would say 90% chance the round goes to Jerry.

Scenario 2: Jerry is only slightly faster than Levan. Levan has the technical advantage in this case and it will be much tougher for Jerry to get a stop. Him getting a stop in this case will largely depend on where this peak of his lands him since we haven't seen him in this shape before. If we end up in this scenario a lot, Jerry may be better off starting early and going outside, trying to get Levan to hold on and then coming with a press on the restart.

Scenario 3: Jerry is not faster than Levan. This gives Levan a massive technical advantage and it would be impossible for Jerry to get a pin this round unless he flat out overpowers Levan quite significantly which is unlikely since Levan is on the same nuclear fuel as Jerry is on right now. This is the worst scenario and would put Jerry's chances very low if it represents most of the starts.

Please don't hold your pants up with the strap.

This trend of using arm wrestling strap as a belt needs to go. It's unhygienic, it makes for a terrible belt, and you end up looking like a hobo that uses his swiss army knife for everything.

Maybe it's just me but my pubic hair overhangs the belt, the thing is gradually infused with the sweat from that area, and it's super hard to drop the habit of drying my dick off with it after washing my hands in the bathroom.

Then there is the issue of using it as a proper belt. How do you stop it from slipping when it's not super tight. Do you use a special knot or something

The whole thing is ridiculous.

Brian hate bandwagon is unfounded

I noticed recently that a hate bandwagon has been rising against brian due to his recent training video with devon. I think there are two reason this is unfounded

  1. He dominated his first super heavy weight practice match and looked far better than now

  2. If you have watched brian for a while you would know that he was putting up a show for this video. It genuinely looks like brian is strategically making himself look worse close to the match for either mind game reasons or he wants to bet on himself and get better odds by making himself look bad.

Stiffness and Stretch

Hi, I'm a 18 year old university student. Long story short I broke my left humerus and underwent surgery with plates 2 weeks ago. I had this long incision from my upper arm down. After getting out of the hospital, my doctor told me to wear the arm sling 24/7 (even asleep) which went well and I didn't have any discomfort wearing it. But yesterday I just got my sutures removed and when my doctor told me to try straighten my arm, I couldn't do it, I felt an intense pain and stretch between my forearm and my upper arm (the muscle in the elbow joint I guess). My doctor pushed my elbow up and straightened it but it hurt like hell, he said that I would need to do some PT at home to straighten it slowly, but I'm scared, is this muscle stiffness from wearing the sling for too long?, I'm worried that the skin at the incision that is closing in makes me feel the stretch and limits my movements; or this is just a normal thing which is not related to the skin closing in and everybody have to experience it. I'm mentally depressed and troubled because I love working out and going to the gym, now my left arm is significantly smaller than my right arm and it's scary to think how I have start over again. So anyone has any advice or PT exercises for me to work on straightening my arm? This is my first post btw
