John breznk must have supwe strong bones Because ive seen numerous video where if he starts losing he appears to turn into "break arm" position and just power right though it Cobras wrist always scares me too but it must be strong

"For the millionth time, like Robert Miller said, STRESS to a bone strengthens it, SO veterans, pros, what have u, tend to be able to pull in many different, awkward positions without anything happening.." both micheal todd and rj Moliere have broke their arm within the past 5 years ''' UGH...REALLY? OK i am sorry, there R a FEW excepts..Ok feel better... BUT there could've been other reasons y their arms broke, and it just so happened while pulling..Could've happened falling down on it, or bumping into somthing..etc...

I agree with Milne on this. I think experienced armwrestlers break arms less often is more to do with experience in avoiding bad positions (quickly transitioning where needed). Less to do with stronger bones, but the stronger bones from training helps too.
Funny you are trying that "new move" John M, I was just thinking about how you pull more with muscle than a lot of guys.
Also, I don't think John Brzenk ever pulls in break arm position, or Devon Larratt for that matter. You can use moves that stress the joint and still be safe.
Arm humorous away from the ribs - less flexible. Turn away from hand (greater angle top view between arm and chest) - less flexible. With experience you can feel where things cannot move freely and will snap if force is applied.

Bill Sinks is one guy I always thought of pulled scary with driving his shoulder down between his hand and body trying to pin... he might have more flexible shoulders than most to allow this.

I figured i better chime in on this one . I have pulled from some crazy positions usally from the losing side of the table . typically i still won . But I never felt necessarily in a bad position . When I first started pulling I would try to hit as fast as I could and not pay alot of attention to my hand position,consiquently I ended up slipping alot in fact almost everytime .So I learned to pull in the straps very well and when someone hit me I would generally end up catching them in the straps where I would normally fighting back from a losing position. i think over time my arm became used to taking the abuse . I'm sure I will pay for this later in life . But I couldn't help it I loved the sport and wouldn't trade it for any thing !

Along the lines of what Christian said. I had a friend who used to train with me who was curious about my claims of bone density. He took x-rays of my right humerous and that of the largest man in our town ( a vewry large man wieghing over 400). My bones weighing 180# were 1/3 larger and twice as dense as his. Like Christian said there are exceptions to every rule, but generally with good nutrition your bones will become much stronger. But back to my main earlier point, what seems to be a bad arm position may not be. Bill dropping his wrist back in the straps for one of many examples takes a great deal of the rotational stress off of the humerous and allows the forearm to take it. When I am twisted all the way around and stand there while someone drives the way I am holding redirects the force if they drive to the side. I could go on and on but I think the point is there.
