Tips for a Successful Toproll

• "Arm wrestling is just as much technique as strength. Use your bodyweight for a successful toproll." -Joseph Hammond
• "I pretty much force back their wrist so that I have more control over their arm." -Christian Greear
• "If I cannot do the toproll all in one move, then what I do is take it in stages. I give them my initial hit and hopefully have made some progress. Then I pause to clamp down with my lower two fingers and crawl out on their hand with my other two. Then I clamp with the top two and walk my bottom two up. Now I am out further on their hand and so I give them another surge. If that doesn't take them down, then I just repeat it over and over until I win." -John Michaels
• "I use my legs to generate backpressure rather than using my arm. I just lock my arm at the beginning of the match and then surge back with my legs to generate all the backpressure I need (and then some). It works like a charm." -Mark Sidemore
