There are several muscles used to actually rotate your arm about the shoulder joint. Here is a list of some of them: pectoralis major, subscapularis, coracobrachialis, biceps brachii, supraspinatus, deltoid, latissimus dorsi, teres major and minor, infraspinatus, long head of triceps.

This is not a complete list of the muscles involved, but what it should say is that this is not a straight forward and simple mechanical motion. The only good (time efficient) exercise is to mimic the arm Wrestling motion--with a cable machine perhaps.

The role of the wrist is also a contributing factor in arm wrestling, but that is much more simple. In this part, the forearm flexors is the muscle that's used.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
