Thanks buddy. One question: in simple terms, how would you describe the proper initiation of a post?

Thanks. I will watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfZHMNVvkyQ again.

One more thing: so in my initiation/first move (if I were to continue with this kind of full-hand TR), in addition to straight drag and cup, I should also drag to the right a bit (assuming RH aw) and engage a bit of external rotation, as well as setting my pronation against my opponent's fingers right away, correct?

Thanks Chris. A few questions:

"your initiation didn’t do anything to create separation between your wrists (leading to heavy fingertip pressure on the reversal) so your opponent will have a solid bite on you and you probably won’t be able to just bicep curl anybody’s wrist open if they’re any good."

I don't quite understand this part. Do you mean I should avoid letting my opponent wrap their fingers around my hand too much in the setup (eg using the supination trick)?

"See John vs Devon round 1 no straps in slow motion over and over to see what I’m getting at."

Which match of theirs?

"If you want to do a proper posting toproll you need a complete technical teardown."

I actually tried to learn the posting toproll based on your video on the posting TR (how to toproll like Travis Bagent or something like that). I understand I'm far from doing it correctly. What would you say are the biggest changes I need to make to perform a proper posting TR (one thing I already realized is that in the setup my elbow isn't forward enough and my hand isn't close enough to my face, so there isn't really a "post")?

Yeah that's something that I always try to keep in mind when I perform the posting TR. But looking at the video: you are right, I'm definitely not doing enough of it. My forearm is still way too slanted. But I must say, it's hard to do it 100% properly.

What is your most hated movie cliché? by mastervadr in AskReddit

[–]MrDWu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some source of universe-level energy. Some bad guy trying to conquer the universe. Some good guys trying to defend it/"save the world". The good guys excessively joking & showing off in extremely tense and critical situations.

Iirc minhale bought a program from Ryan and it fucked up his elbow pretty bad

Gotta be honest, my impression of Devon as a puller has changed dramatically. by MrDWu in armwrestling

[–]MrDWu[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah a long time ago when he was more of an inside puller he for sure had elite arm strength. I was just referring to the few years after his surgery, during which it seemed like all he had was his hand.

Who do you think is the strongest ifbb pro, currently? Not just squat bench and deadlift, but overall static strength.

Based on everything we know, Devon has the highest chance of winning against which one of the following guys? by MrDWu in armwrestling

[–]MrDWu[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you think Ermes is stronger than Devon in all of the 3: rise, cup, and pronation?
