starting occasional log of some lifts. figured itd be helpful to track consistent progress. i dont like paper

last time i did the larratt pronation lift was march 55lbs one rep max with pain. i think my riser lift was 45lbs with pain. i havent done this lift since march in favor of non armwrestling exercises but am starting to work it back in. only pronation. i dont like the larratt riser lift.

this time i did pronation both arms at 60 and 65lbs, no pain, end of workout. left arm lost parallel angle and almost lost pronation while maintaining wrist at 65lbs, failed lift. right arm was fine overall and had multiple reps. speculating one rep max could be around 67.5lbs. felt stress in neck and right pec after lift. neck stress unusual. i think i was looming over the weight too much because of the recording.

good form is arm static parallel to ground, elbow not anchored on leg for support. pronation and riser arent compromised while fighting downward pressure from strap over knuckles. successful lift only needs to be a centimeter off the ground

the more the wrist is kicked back during the lift the harder itll be. cupped inward is easier. whether you want to have a cupped / kicked wrist or not for practical training depends on personal armwrestling style. still figuring that out for myself.
