İs it normal to lose her in this strength test?

[Anonymous]

My wife is a sportive woman but in the end shorter and weaker (lbs) than me. Altough this condtionals I cannot beat her in arm wrestle and play fight. I am not weak I was usually when I was at Collage and High School (againsts male friends)

A little ironically while arm wrestling is a shoe of strength type of thing it uses a shocking amount of skill and technique. It is fair to say that a noticably weaker person can consistently win in arm wrestling if they do it well.

Play fighting, or any type of wrestling, also employs a good amount of skill. While physical strength will always have a major impact I myself as a teen won near 100% (can not remember a single loss) of any grappling, submission or other similar competition. Which were weekly or bi-weekly occurences with plenty of people stronger than me. Meanwhile in the clubs I'd lose to people every practice session at least a few times.

Core reason was that first, the gap in strength was never major. And I Really want to drive that home. Technique is a tool to bridge gaps in strength, it is not better than being strong. If one much stronger person with little technique faces a much weaker person with technique the stronger one wins almost every time. Technique is king only when strength is comparable.
The second reason was simply that I was more willing to hang them up in a chokehold than they were to do so to me. So, similar strength. Consistently better technique. Directed intent.

Aaaaand lets face it here, a part of you probably likes to have her wrestle you down. What guy hasn't lost a few times for reasons other than physical performance?

I admired she is stronger... Not a problem I glad her but some times she calls me in a strength test (fingerlock for example) ypu are weak for me when little laugh some times I think Am I not eneough for her

I imagine she enjoys it or you wouldn't be together.

But you can just ask her if she wants you to start working out. If she jokes it away don't worry and if she gets very into the idea, just start hitting the gym.

Problem is that I go already and I had been sport teams years of study. Have a atlethic body (for exm six pack) she were too but I am not work a job which I use my body too much now I own my company on the other hand she serve as an officer in army 8 years

Well lets assume this is true. You're strong and fit. She's strong and fit. She wins playfighting and you're both happy and together.

There are no issues there. Like sure, maybe you'll develop some dom/sub mechanics based on it but who's to say that isn't something you'd like?

[Effably]

Also just as a quick FYI: Never use a six pack as a sign of physical fitness. It has very little to do with how strong your body is. The fact you used it tells me you haven't had a gym routine in your life yet. Which is fine! But you know.

I gave it exam for ı go to gym.. Not about strenght... For an exam about strength I was a quarder in İU bulls (its our Collage American fotball team)

If you train in arm wrestling seriously enough (I mean to study it, not just do a lot of arm wrestling) and apply more smarts than strength, you can really gain some leverage over people who are much stronger and bigger. I've beaten men over 200+lbs at only 150lbs just because I knew how to get my shoulder and elbow in a certain position.

Maybe your woman is like that at least on the arm wrestling front. Play fighting is trickier even with my best guy friends because if you really care about them, you don't wanna hurt them.

[Asker]

Thank U, I see its normal

It's difficult to assess strength and I don't see the point of doing it so much unless we're in battle. There is absolute strength like who can deadlift the most vs relative strength to their bodyweight like who can do the most strict pull-ups. There is explosive strength of a sprinter vs endurance strength of a marathon runner.

Maybe you just take pride in whatever strengths you have, work to overcome glaring weaknesses, and be glad that you have a woman who can take care of herself if she's in danger.

[Asker]

I proud and glad her already.

But some times When she won Call me you are easy for me

Size, once again, has nothing to do with winning or losing a fight.

One can be smaller in size but know how to use the opponent's weakness to win a match or fight. You have much smaller men and women that were able to win fights against much taller people because they took advantage of the opponent's weaknesses.

Arm wrestling is no different. All you need to do is to wait till the opponent shows a weakness and then make the right move. Since none of you are professional arm wrestlers, you would not master the technique that those professionals use and that could give the advantage to your spouse.

Right she knows how to knock out an oppenent from her trainings her job.. I have learned arm wrestling has tecniques too However I dont find anything about fingerlock challange

[TroyDT2]

Arm wrestling is more about leverage. I'm really strong, but I also have long arms. If I am arm wrestling someone with shorter arms and he does not use a level, I have a huge disadvantage due to the angle my arm will be at.

Nonits not normal. you're weak

[Asker]

I think she is stronger
