I just started doing cables for side pressure and arm strength - it seems to work great. I have this at home so I set up my table in front of the cable machine and pull like that. I use the low setting for middle and losing positions and the high cable for pressing/ finishing. Also it seems to work pulling a well padded bench up to the cable machine to replicate a armwrestling table. As for wrists, I have little experience, but Ron Highet used to use a dowel with a rope hanging a weight, or I heard of people doing wrist curls with plates instead of dumbells. Also a couple of guys at the club bought some wrist strengthing device from Sears(?) which has a handle and fits over the forearm.

I suggest you go watch the last couple of segments on ARM TV... one with Mike Selearis and one with Travis Bagent. They are excellent and give excellent advice.
Static holds for your wrist... and a practice in Portage.
