How it's done
Start with your arms fully extended and your body straight, with little to no body swing through the lift. For super-strict form, lean against a wall. Some leeway is fine: armwrestling on the table doesn't demand laser-perfect form, so a minimal deviation from "perfect" is acceptable.
Lift at your own risk. Max attempts can cause injury: warm up, use safe equipment, and stop if anything hurts. This isn't medical advice. See the Terms.
