I'm definantly watching every match I can on armtv. Unfortonantly I'm more of a hands on learner but still trying to pull what I can by watching. My friends just worried if I start doing what he is then I'll start beating him again"shrugs" so to a point I understand but thanks everyone that's sent me advice and anyone else that's got some my ears are allways open of eyes in this case.

You know any pros in westcentral miss? The only person I personally know that knows more than me doesn't want me to know what he does. So that's why I was asking for help on here. If there is anyone that is around centralwest miss let me know, I would love to be able to actually train with someone who knows what they're doing. After watching all those videos on myarmtv of miller, klemba, Luke and all the other really good arm wrestler I definantly understand I'm not even close to that level(crazy power)!

First, I want to thank everyone that contributes their experiences and incite to us new comers. I feel like I should share some history to give some context on my question. I had been the typical highschool AW that beat nearly everyone in the school other than a few giants and at a local tournament I had placed 1st or 2nd nearly every year that I could make it since I was 11(25 now). So last year I heard about the Arkansas state championship and decided that it would be a good chance to see if I was any good or just no one around me was. I asked a friend to go with me. He is left handed and destroys me left but historically I have beat him right but he was very tuff at this point right. I placed first in R novice 165(one other competetor) and second R novice 176(5 or six guys). I was happy about that and decided I would go ahead and try to train, up to that point I had never worked out for arm wrestling. My friend figured out something up there and got some tips on how to workout from don underwood, and now I can't hardly budge him. I've read all over this forum trying to find an explanation on how to lock your arm in tight but didn't see it. For me it seems my arm won't lock until it's at about a 65 or 70 degree angle when my arm is against my side, but his locks around 45degrees. I've got some ideas on ways to train but not really knowing if what I'm thinking really works I'm finding it hard to commit to them and my friend won't tell me anything about what he's doing now. So, can anyone tell me how I can develop a stronger tighter lock and anyother tips or training methods? I really love arm wrestling and I imagine if you read this whole post you do too. I appologize for it's length and appreciate any help you can give, thanks.
