After being around arm wrestling for some years now I have learned that looks are very very deceiving. So, Can a woman beat a man in arm wrestling you ask? Yes, a woman can beat a man in arm wrestling with the right technique, strategy and experience. Most people think that all it takes in this game is well-built muscles. As much as strength is a key to winning in arm wrestling, it takes more. Therefore, if any woman would figure out how to take advantage of these variances against a man, they will have the upper hand. I have personally watched women who have dominated men in a few arm wrestling matches. Now, with that said there is different levels to this game. Here are some of the reasons why men can lose an arm wrestling contest on some occasions to women. The Mentality The brain is the most vital weapon you can use against your opponent in any battle. How, then can the brain be more useful in arm wrestling than the arms? Arm wrestling requires patience in anticipating the appropriate time strike. You may feel tired and ready to give up the battle, but courage helps deceive the opponent. A heart of a lion and true determination can will you along way. A smart woman will deceive the male opponent that she is strong enough, yet she is exhausted. She may start trash talking and getting in the opponents head. Laughing, staring in the mans eyes and creating other psychological battles can help setup a unfair advantage for anyone initiating these tactics. Remember it is not 100% physical in sports. You witness these types of psychological mental battles all the time in combat sports. When fighters like boxers or mixed martial artists are leading up to their fights there is plenty of trash talk, intimidation, stare downs and other distractions used to get in the opponents head and believe me it works. The worst mistake a man can make is to underestimate their component's capabilities. When a man gives a woman less credit than she deserves, this can play a role on proper preparation and taking the match serious. Arm Wrestling Technique A man is assumed to be more masculine than a woman is but masculinity is not going to be much of a factor if you do not have or understand the right technique to arm wrestling. Also, who to say that a woman cannot have some great physical attributes that they process over a male arm wrestler which can be beneficial such as. Physical Strength (Core Muscles Are Used in Arm Wrestling And If A Woman Has Been Training These Muscles In Preparation They Could Have More Key Core Strength In The Area Needed) Bigger Hands and Longer Fingers (Many Will Argue That This Is Not That Beneficial But I Believe It Is An Upper Hand Both Mentally And Physically With A Firm Grip) Proper Breathing (Arm Wrestling Just Like Other Sports Requires Endurance And Energy. So Breathing Properly Is A Key Technique That Can Help) Understanding Body Leverage (This Comes With Experience And If You Know How To Use Your Core And Full Body To Your Advantage It Does Not Matter The Size Of Your Opponent In Most Matches) I am sure if you are an arm wrestling fan then you have witnessed Schoolboy Take Down Larry Wheels. Watch this video below where you can clearly see an incredible size difference. Body Positioning Body positioning determines a lot in arm wrestling. The foot on the hand's side that you are using in the arm wrestling competition must be forward. Keep your hip to the table to ensure your arm is close to your body. It would be best if you considered standing to apply more force. If a woman applies all these principles and the man overlooks them, the win can start to favor the woman. It does not matter how strong we may be but what matters is how we position ourselves to apply the right force while holding the right stable defensive pressure. Good positioning will channel all your energy into usage against your opponent. https://youtu.be/RnZIHPsP1OA Experience Experience is the best teacher in all aspects of life. A woman with enough experience in this game is good enough to take an inexperienced man down. Therefore, it is wise not to underrate a woman whose hobby is arm wrestling simply because you as a man is more masculine or you believe you are stronger. Strength When we mention women against men, then men always take the credit of strength. Now, there is no doubt that our biological makeups definitely show a difference between men and women. It is not fair enough, as we have women that are more energetic than most men. And there are woman out there who are simply stronger than some men as well. Final Thoughts We have determined women who are ready to practice daily and cultivate strength can beat men in arm wrestling. Therefore, do not underestimate any woman when it comes to an arm wrestling competition. It is not just about gender. There are a lot of factors that determine the winner at the end of the day.
