Thought just randomly crossed my mind. If Dave comes is prepared and properly in shape then the answer is obvious but right now? I think Dave still wins but I wouldn't be willing to bet any money on it. What do you think? Who has the strongest sidepressure in america?

Everyone is so mad at Devon but the ones that are mad are the European fans! Because Devon has beaten all your Europeans champs(besides levan, and we all know he’ll beat genadi)! Devon said one by one the Europeans will fall and they have! He yet again dominated Oleg, when a lot of people had the match 50/50 (which that was delusional to believe). He then went and cracked your left handed hammer holders wrist after winning a supermatch and cutting 20 kilos in one month! Without Devon armwrestling would still be in garages and bars. Like it or not if you want armwrestling to keep growing as a mainstream sport you need different personalities so people can be attached to and invested in, so they have story lines and things of that nature to follow and to keep paying, buying, and going to these events! By Devon having so many haters, he will always have people buy his events in hopes he loses (but in there eyes they hope to see him being humbled). It’s a marketing strategy in combat sports.

So Devon advises to do the opposite of what you want to do in the match. Should i kickback and pronate

WAL AC: Devon Larratt vs Travis Bagent (Left Hand)
Devon vs Travis WAL 2014, both guys are already masters of setup shenanigans and all that shit.

Devon's tries to do the same thing he does now: lower his rise getting higher with the thumb into Travises fingers trying to get an higher webbing and then rise 1 second before the go to have an insane grip, but Travis does a similar trick: he stays away from Devon's fingers by being extremely vertical with his hand and then he closes his fingers immediately after Devon to push down his riser. This is how you set up vs Devon for a posting toproll

Ermes watch and learn.

I'm honestly so disappointed, Chance Shaw fought much more, Oleg didn't even try to give his all, when he felt Devon was stronger, he just stopped fighting. what a coward. Against Dadykian he fought but against Devon he was just straight up submissive

I don't know if armwrestling will ever become a mainstream sport, probably not. But I'm sure that if one day it does, the step forward will be made thanks to other people. Obviously it would be nice, but I think it will remain a dream.

Most people (you have to think about everyone, not just your own tastes) don't like to see (even less pay to see) a 50 year old man who shouts and insults his opponents and who holds everyone by the balls (referees and organizers). I know I'm exaggerating, but that's the concept. Some people like this and it has to be accepted, but I think that for the common person it is disgusting. And it is even more disgusting that no one does or has done anything. I am very sure that referees and organizers can do something, I am sure.

And Engin has some flaws, as we all have. Because he wants to control everything or everything he can. This East vs West cannot really grow. It certainly cannot take a step forward. As it is, it can only grow but remain within the niche. And wanting to control everything makes him do many wrong things. The absolute lack of rules I really believe is intentional to have him have the final decision, from time to time it has been used by Engin in fact.

3 weeks ago my coworker and i decided to armwrestle in the breakroom at work. We arm wrestled with our left arms and we were locked and pushing hard trying to win. All of a sudden my arm swung to the left and made a huge gunshot sound. I was in horrific pain & couldn't move my arm. I was rushed to the emergency room & the doctor was in complete shock, my humerus snapped just above my elbow & my elbow took damage too. I had to get surgery a week later, I had to wait around in a sling with a broken arm for a week. It was horrific pain. It's been 2 weeks since the surgery and im still traumatized. I have a metal plate and screws in my arm now all because of armwrestling. I feel like I want to cry writing this because It was innocent... I just wanted to have fun. I didn't even know this was possible. I start physical therapy on Tuesday & i don't know how I'm going to do it. My arm feels so tight and I can't straighten it all the way or bend the elbow all the way. I feel hopeless & traumatized. I keep reliving the break... i will never forget that gunshot sound of my arm breaking. It wasn't a cracking sound at all just pure boom. The doctor said I'm extremely lucky because my nerves weren't affected, apparently when he did the surgery he said my nerves were laid right next to the bone still intact. I could move my fingers, wrist & feel everything normally except it's numb around the surgery site.

Please pray for me to recover & if anyone else has had this happen to them and has any advice or words of encouragement for me please comment . I need it. Before this accident I was working out super hard & finally gaining confidence & looking good. I just wanna get back to my job & working out. I hate being stuck at home.

Yoshi shocked everyone

Mike and Genadi was a 3-2 dogfight

2 4-3 world title matches

Dimitrina lost her wrist for the first time in nearly a decade

Oniani dominated Oleg zhokh in a weight class

Irakli demolished tautiev

Alizhan and Ivan stopped for 20 seconds

We saw the first ever “freak vs freak” match with Omer vs Artur

Devon showed his dominance against a very strong champion

And with all that people sit here and complain about Devon, be a little more grateful people. This event was the best ever and people just whine whine whine

I was thinking that if Devon hadn't behaved so badly and had just put on a show like in his match with Prudnik or his other matches, where it was just fun, he would be seen as a loudmouth, sure, but also almost as the GOAT—a balanced person with a strong personality, keeping his charisma and remaining likable, which I don’t think he is anymore. It's really a shame because he wasn’t that far off, and his behavior has really overshadowed his athletic performance, which I find absolutely phenomenal but hard to remember and appreciate. Do you think he Can still change ? Because even armwrestler around him seems to be pissed by him now..

DEVONS BEHAVIOR DOES NOT GROW THE SPORT

IT IS NOT DEVONS RESPONSIBILITY TO GROW THE SPORT

WE ARE NOT UFC

THE SPORT OF ARMWRESTLING IS DOING JUST FINE

OUR AMBASSADOR SHOULD NOT BE A BULLY

NOT ALL PUBLICITY IS GOOD PUBLICITY

repeat

Who would win in a hook battle, left arm obviously

Trying high wrap with the multi spinner and align the strap to my index finger. However, when cupping in, the strap keeps going into my index and feels uncomfortable. Is this normal or any tips?

Just wanted to say what we all already know. But seriously it was frickin amazing. Glad to see Yoshi having so much fun back on the table. And Todd Hutchings was awesome as well.

What are your guys thoughts on this matchup, i have been looking at Genadis record and he is potentially the stickiest opponent who has gave everyone an all-out war and close matches, do you think he would give vitally a good war as well considering they are both in good shape or do you think vitally will run through genadi.

Levan: Jerry is the most dangerous opponent I have ever faced.

Jerry: It's kill or be killed on the table. It's uncomfortable to push myself like this, but I have to, because that's what Levan is doing and what made him #1.

Levan: All my other matches I trained the same thing because they do the same thing. For Jerry I changed everything because historically I have only struggled against the press, not any other move. This is my first time training differently for an opponent.

Jerry: I get it that Ermes led with backpressure first but the press component I see that's my move, and Levan is more susceptible to being moved by a flop press.

Jerry: I don't think anyone has a press like mine and I believe my press will be far superior to any press he has faced.

Jerry: I want to give Levan the best opponent he has ever faced and the best version I've ever been.

Jerry: I have the Corvette Zr1, Mercedes GT63s and Lamborghini Urus so you gotta put one up that's equal.

Adam: The location of the match will be announced in a few days.

Levan: Last week I bought a Mercedes AMG.

Jerry: Oh wow. His big ass needs the G Wagon.

Levan: Mercedes gla.

Jerry: gla? What do they do, lube you up and push you in?

(Everyone laughs hysterically)

Jerry: I want a video of you getting in and getting out.

Levan: I also have a Corvette but it's sitting there.

Levan: We drove the McLaren 720S.

(Levan shows his biceps and then does a pressing motion and everyone giggles)

Levan: Most likely I will go in a hook because a toproll vs Jerry is not smart.

Jerry: Rest Levan, rest, no more training, you need to rest.

(Everyone giggles)
