yeah it sucks that since ive gotten bigger seems all my buddies (we like to party)are always making me arm wrestle . i usually win 5 out of 6 matches so there always making me do this and if you argue that your afraid to hurt yourself and not be able to lift for a week they just mock you and say jokes like guys do .
i for example watched a new guy to our crowd (whos actually kinda big& is much taller than the rest of us)beat a couple of guys arm wrestling the other night when we had a party . well , of course they made me wrestle him and i won . the shitty part is this , he is left handed and we are all right . i beat him fairly easily with the right and then he had his ego hurt so wanted redemption with his left . i have been expieriencing slight joint discomfort in my left elbow and wearing a tight spandex arm brace a lot for it when training , etc . well i knew better but in fact like a dummy i said ok sounds cool and we wrestled lefty , MISTAKE !
we went at it hard for a few seconds and i suddenly felt like if i didnt give up i might really hurt my arm so i just gave . now ever since it has been killing me . it feels good enough to train CAREFULLY but it still sucks . bottom line is ill not wrestle left for a long , long time . hell im sitting it out next manly chest outing/beating session at one of our parties .
who here has this sort of a problem ? and what do you recommmend to strenthen these tendons specifically for arm wrestling ?

well if i extend my left arm striaght out like a jab or bench press , then rotate my wrist so the thumb side points down , it hurt in the lower elbow on the inner part + a little near the biceps elbow insertion . im drinking coffee gearing up to train it today . ill go moderate on my wieghts/sets etc. of course , but its feeling much better after mainly focussing on my legs instead past 2 weeks to let it heal up . i do feel a slightest bit of discomfort . ill lay off the pullups and heavy rows + plus heavy curls one more weeks and only do moderate stuff . i need a reason to keep focussing on my legs and deadlifting again anyways . ill let you guys know how it feels after todays workout . EASTO : yeah i need to stop arm wrestling .
