Arm Wrestling Stamina Requirements

Video Transcript

"Hi, this is Johnny Rambo of New York City and today on behalf of expert village I'm going to teach you how to arm wrestle. Another form of technique is the art of stamina: maintaining your stamina. Some of the worlds greatest arm wrestlers are so powerful and so intimidating that they can actually stop you with lighting speed. They can play possum and then blow you away with lighting power. But there are other arm wrestlers who will take their time and wait out their opponent. Say Rich has got me and I'm out of gas, and I'm holding on and holding on. I've just got to keep my wrist bent and remember that my strength is still in reserve. So Rich can lay out all he wants and he thinks he's in for the killing blow when I suddenly squeeze my grip, tighten, bend my wrist even more and come back and that's how we can conserve our energy. It's like a marathon. Because we are not professionals, we can't afford to just blow it out because we could underestimate our opponent. We simply want to ride out and feel out our opponent and this way we know what we're up against. Let him burn himself out. All we need to do is win the match. Let him do all the movement, all the physical movement that he wants, but in the end when he gets tired if we know just to hang in there and then come in in the last round and poof, we end up winning that little bout."
