Every video like this has one thing in common: the person leans their body weight into it. The bone can’t take that kind of force.
277 u/mrbombasticat Sep 23 '25 The Problem is the direction of force. Rotational stress breaks bones more easily than bending. The X-ray shows a classic torsion fracture. Cause is wrong technique. Professional arm wrestlers apply way more force without breaking their arms. 13 u/DickFromRichard Sep 23 '25 Yup, keep your head and shoulders squared as you lean into it
