He says he has a hard time beating his feather in arm wrestling despite him working out. Anecdotally blue collar people have much strong wrist flexion (cupping) than us white collar people, but pronation and technique can help negate that. My experience shows that power cleans can help with arm wrestling but not many people do those.
