I personally feel like it would be useful to list the major muscles involved in arm wrestling in particular, which muscle groups should be targeted if one wants to train for arm wrestling. -- Bk0 ( Talk) 17:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
Farid Usmanov is not Russian but from Uzbekistan!
Unfortunately, I cannot name the muscles involved but what they are used for!
Tendon strength is also of great importance(this cannot be overly stressed!!)! Hand, Wrist and Biceps —Preceding

Does anyone else feel that it is ridiculous for Wikipedia to have to cite its references for arm wrestling? I mean, I know it has to be professional and accurate, but is arm wrestling really necessary to cite?
Armwrestling is very much a real sport, but as someone involved in it for years I have to say I have never heard of Joe Caggiano and have no idea why the person that created this page would write that Caggiano trained most modern champions.

Seems like the line "All this popularity throughout the world is just a means to an end of making it an olympic sport." doesn't really reflect Wikipedia's Nuetral POV. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.2.200.166 ( talk) 20:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC).
I guess it's important to add a section about the origins of this sport -- T0rek 06:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
What is the strap? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.117.12.213 ( talk) 12:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
The Strap is used when the two armwrestlers fail to keep hold of the others hand after the 'GO'. The referee will command both opponents to stand in their position, palms together, fingers straight and thumbs up and then use 'The Strap' to bind both hands together to avoid them slipping apart during the contest.
It has been known for some armwrestlers to deliberately 'slip' when facing an opponent with better/stronger hand control to help even the playing field or even gain an advantage by having the strap applied —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason200669 ( talk • contribs) 11:28, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
"arm wrestlers must straighten their wrists without a time lapse of one minute during competition".....er what??? The words are English but the sentence is utterly meaningless.

It goes back at least to 2005. (you can see it in the middle of the article https://armwrestlersonly.blogspot.com/2013/08/devon-larratt.html) 213.149.62.46 ( talk) 14:12, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

Exactly how deep do you want to go in terms of popular culture. Voltron has an episode where a intergalactic arm wrestling competition happens. Haikyuu has a strong plotline in the relationship between iwaziumi and kyoutani (Iwa-chan and Mad dog-chan) wherein iwaziumi beats kyoutani in multiple arm wrestling matches to gain his respect.
The point in here is that if we are judging by homer entered an arm wrestling competition than just about every long running show will likely have a place in the popular culture section.
Either make the popular culture section just movies/ tv shows/books etc about arm wrestling or make it oh look arm wrestling was mentioned let's add insert thing here. RyouBakura13 ( talk) 23:16, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

I don't feel qualified at all to edit the page, but I think it's necessary to include a section in the page about upcoming/past/notable events like the KOTT and WAL. It is quite difficult to follow the scene and so far I have found the most prestigious tournament at the current time is the KOTT. Any input and formatting/editting these events into the page would be very nice and helpful for future. 37.231.125.111 ( talk) 18:49, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
The "World Wrist Wrestling Championships" held annually in Petaluma (and mentioned in the Peanuts comic strip) had slightly different rules from the standard; among other things, there were no pin pads or pegs - the competitors held each other's free hands with arms resting on the table, and the match ended when someone's hand touched their opponent's arm on the table.
