Rising, Posting and Knuckle Exercises for Armwrestling
Rising (lifting your wrist toward the thumb side) and posting (holding your wrist and knuckles high against pressure) are what let a toproller get on top of an opponent's hand and stay there.
Why it matters
If your wrist drops, your opponent gets on top and your leverage is gone. A strong riser and posted knuckles keep your hand high and make every other part of the toproll easier.
Key exercises
- Rising with a loaded stick or handle
- Posting holds against a cable or band
- Knuckle and finger work with small handles
