Arm wrestling is almost entirely technique. Most people don't arm wrestle anyone, and their technique will suck, but it seems like you arm wrestle most of the people you meet, which means you probably have developed some kind of useful technique even if you haven't explicitly studied it.
I'm 210#/6', My 5 rep maxes are(I don't do 1RMs): bench 275, DL 495, squat 455. You do seem strong, but I am pretty sure that is due to your genetics and whatever exercise you get, and not due to the red meat diet you have.
- rpmisms 3y agoYes, but my technique is terrible, relying almost entirely on wrist strength. I routinely lose to a relative who I am stronger than, but has stronger forearms than me. I started lifting as a vegan (properly supplemented) and switched to primarily meat when I stalled my progress. My 1RMs were 270 DL, 180 bench then. Same weight and height. I only saw progress when I started eating meat, although the dairy probably helped too. Also seriously helped my recovery times. I think the increased digestibility of dairy and meat proteins allowed my body to heal enough to actually build strength, and I'm now lifting at a much higher class for my weight and build.
