I have some questions on arm wrestling, how do you win at arm wrestling? And is it about power or technique?

Yes.

Seriously, it's about both.

It's about knowing when to hold and let the other person tire themselves out, and when to push and gain ground.

Disclaimer: I haven't arm wrestled anyone "for real" since I was a kid: guys my age don't arm wrestle other guys, and when we arm wrestle girls we lose on purpose.

Seventeen year-old guys don't arm wrestle? I find that hard to believe.

It's about distracting the opponent so they don't notice your other arm going for the chili powder. cool

But from what I've heard, it's more about standing one's ground to tire the opponent out, and then pushing the attack when they are tired.

In that sense it's like warfare.
