[@normanwilmoth7404]

I can see why armwrestling would be fascinating to an overall strongman because they think automatically that they've been there and done all the possible lifts there is to do!?! Then all of a sudden you're being taught all these new complex angles of attack for the first time which involves strength in areas you didn't know. Then the realization kicks in that you're not as strong in your arm as you thought you were. That's when the armwrestling bug bites and it's poison starts to spread💯

[@freyaviii1616]

@@westcoastkawhia2470 Very very little chance. Will take 2-3 years of focussing mainly on armwrestling for him to have the knowledge and ability in his locker to go against Levan with even the slimmest of hope. Strength is obviously insane important, but when it's two really strong dudes.. the table knowledge is 90% of where the battle is won. Go to any armwrestling event and you see absolutely massive dudes practicing with people half their size (who shift less than half their weights in training) and they simply have no chance; the smaller dude with all the knowledge feels like moving a brick wall.

@@garysnow1475 Strong Armwrestling League... ? Grabs pen and paper*

[@gaz0463]

The big surprise when you 1st start arm wrestling is just how technical it is. It’s a cross between BJJ & Chess. It’s fascinating and you can see Brian really digging the technical part of it and all the different pressures he’s feeling through his hand and wrist. If he keeps with it he could be a really huge name in arm wrestling in the future.

[@Siberius-]

I feel chess is already incorporated into BJJ there. Armwrestling is cool because it's the only sport I know where the combat element is primarily who is stronger than the other person (and technique, but you need the strength to apply the technique and strength is the limiting factor in getting better, even if the technique improves a lot). The closest thing I can think of is like, Highland Games tug of war? lol. BJJ requires a lot of strength and it's very important, but I don't think it's the limiting factor as much as it is in armwrestling.

[@vttrpersonal7329]

This guy has some great knowledge. Damn good at explaining too! I'm sure he enjoys being able to train someone as strong as you. He has gotta know the potential.

[@garysnow1475]

Been following arm wrestling for about 2 years now but I didn't know there was this much to it he goes way more in depth than Devon or Michael.

[@pqiojsqdklnads3861]

no chance, he doesnt need devon, he needs a coach like denis cyplenkov; denis did absolutely great with larry, better than anyone else. and look what denis turned davit into: the strongest left arm and hes only 24!

[@nebulouscalamity6338]

Brian seems to love the new kind of pump armwrestling lifts induce. Imagine if these lifts catch on with bodybuilders just trying to sculpt their forearms.

[@DannyLitAF]

Aw man, i really like the sound of that title. Thats the title we have been waiting for fora while now. Top strenghth athlete going all in, so exciting to watch!

[@Joe___R]

It is never a bad thing to train specific muscles that are not regularly used much. The whole body is designed to work together and the stronger the auxiliary muscles are the more the main muscles can put towards doing the task you are asking of it. These exercises will likely make you stronger in the dumbbell press as well as any load & carry event. The stronger you hands are the easier it is to lift & move with anything. Your whole forearm is designed to move your hand & wrist. So the stronger every muscle of your forearm is the easier any lift reliant on hand strength will be.

[@sethbullard9911]

Sure hope Brian goes into arms wrestling it would be awesome to see him going at it!

Brian, whenever he’s bringing his hand into his body, he’s using his lat to drag it back to him, not rotating his shoulder in. I don’t think that was communicated well enough here.
