just simple leverage and strategy probably. once you maeuever the wrist/hand in a certain direction you lose a certain amount of strength. either that or he just pushed first and you lost leverage. i wouldnt be too concerned.

Some dude told me that we use a different strenght in arm wrestlings , it is not the symmetrical strenght of the barbells... Also he told me that speed and muscular reaction is very important

lol, arm wrestling is very interesting , its all about one muscle in your forarm which is nearly impossible to work out. So it doesn't matter how big you are its all abotu that one muscle.

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!

Here's what you need:
12" x 1" dow rod
3 feet of thinner rope or parachute cord.
Drill
"D" clip
Olympic size weights
Here's what you do:
Drill a hole in the middle of the dow rod. Feed an end of the rope through the rod and tie it off. Attach the "D" clap to the other end of the rope. Feed the "D" clamp end through the weight and clamp it to itself. You now have a handle with a rope hanging from the middle and a weight at the bottom.
Now hold it as though you are going to do a biceps curl. In stead simply roll your wrists causing the rope to begin wrapping around the dow rod handle. Do this for three to four sets.
This will strengthen all 5 groups of muscles that cause wrist flexion (bending the wrist toward the biceps).
