It's 5 muscles, in the anterior forearm:
Flexor Carpi Radialis
Palmaris Longus
Flexor Carpi Ulnais
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis
Flesor Digitorum Profundus

In addition, the muscles of the rotator cuff, chest, and biceps come into play. There is no skeletal muscle that is impossible to strengthen or work out.

1: they are all in one area , that why i said 1 muscle or 1 muscle group.

2: i said nearly impossible.

3: I know all the names of the muscles and bones and everything else about the body , but i like to keep it simple for thoses people who dont know. But thanks for sharing your knowlege.

I agree some, but if you put mike tyson and steve Erkel in an arm wrestling match, Mike would win because he is stronger and bigger... I believe that size of the muscles can actually play a pretty vital role..

Go to youtube and look up magnus samuelson former world strongest man he will teach you how to arm wrestle its more forarm strength then biceps as well


This was my impression as well. There is an art to it. It is not something a lot of people really train for...just those who have a knack for it.

Have you ever seen the movie Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone? Good stuff!

Awesome stuff!!!!

However, the guy can be twice your size, but as long as you have trained the proper muscles, as ps1 has pointed out, then you would have an advantage of specialized training.

Well, if that is the case, then you could say the same about all of your training when it comes to a fight.

Yes you could , but my advantage would be much higher than say a man who is twice the size of you.
