Breakdown Prime John Brzenk's Measurements / Enigma In Armwrestling

[@armwrestlingelysium]

Correction: His forearms were 41 cm. Prime Era is not just a year but a period. Just because John experience bad 2004 that doesnt mean he wasnt in his prime period.

[@OoogaBoog]

John was not in his prime 2004. All video evidence proves this. He was gearing down from 1999 since he had very little competition and he was experiencing aging for the first time. Even with his insane 2006-2008 ( prior to his injury and his match against devon again) he still proclaims he was at his best in the late 80s.

[@MWK1995]

You emphasized a really good point here. A lot of people measure their forearm so wrongly not just beyond 90 degrees but they press the tape with their bicep giving them extra 3-5 cm. They say they're 45 cm but actually they're 40 cm

[@MWK1995]

You have to remember this is a 90 kilo John who doesn't look bloated from training (Maybe a cold arm and hand as well). A 105+ KG John who has bloated arms and hands will have much thicker measurements. Notice how thick that index finger is! Really shows you that he really trains that meaty muscle between the index and thumb, that's why when John grips you and pinches your hand you will feel helpless and powerless hhhhh

[@sirRustyiron]

one of the key tools that John has that is just a genetic gift is his gnarly thumb that is even large than some of the actual super heavyweights. This thumb allows him to have that monstrous hand control.

[@OoogaBoog]

2004 john wasn't even prime....he barely trained the previous years to this, and only trained for the documentary. He trained hard after......2006-2007

[@QuietToproll]

Late 2005 is when he started experimenting with juice and got ridiculously strong. Late 2005 and 2006 was probably his strongest era.

[@genji4456]

how do u know??? he literally was gaining weight that time more than when he was in 90s 80s ,and in 2004 he was very strong ,and considering numbers 1 until alexy beat him ,so what is your evidence that he wasn’t training that time in 2004???

[@OoogaBoog]

@@genji4456 Did you even watch the documentary? /facepalm. He's even stated that he was pretty much set to retire that year until the film group talked him into doing the documentary. So yea he trained that year, but the previous 2 he wasn't going all out. He did that in 2005-2008 until his injury.

The most impressive things about jhon's genetic are in my opinion, the thumb and also all the internal constitutions of his arms, becouse i think that jhon's external caracteristics are very balance...but nothing of this external things in my opinion show the magic behind the goat. Sorry form my bad english :)

I'm 6ft, and pretty much the same size as John, and all of John's hand and wrsit size are bigger than mine by 1 or 2 inches. But when it comes to palm size John has wider palm than me by 3inches.

[@armwrestlingelysium]

İnches or cm? Because couple of inches different isnt few if you ask me. In the video those measurements done by metric system not inches.

MY measurements are almost same with john no surprise iam naturally good at armwrestling than most ppl

[@aadarsh_1303x]

minus forearm ,muscle iam talking about bone structure

[@MWK1995]

My forearm size depends on my shape it's somewhere between 37-41 cm. My upper arm has always been the same size since I was in Highschool 13 years ago weighing 30 kg less lol, upper arm was always and still 43-44 cm Hhhhh doesn't matter if I am in shape or not fat or skinny that 43 size never changes even though my bicep is a lot stronger than before. Forearm used to be 31 cm before arm wresting lol. My hands got a LOT thicker after arm wrestling too

[@armwrestlingelysium]

You have pretty good stats if you ask me. For me respactable range of forearm size starts from 39-40 cm and wrist should be starts from 19 to 20 cm. (Of course depends of individuals height weight etc) Also 43-44 biceps is more than enough again for individuals who are not more than 105 kg. Of course its personal preferance I ve never liked small forearm but big biceps proportion.

[@MWK1995]

@@armwrestlingelysium Yeah I looked ridiculous when I was younger huge upper arm and tiny forearms and wrists. Luckily for me, arm wrestling fixed that for me. Yeah I'm happy with my measurements. I don't mind if my forearm gets bigger in the future like a legit 43 cm 90 degrees no bullsh*t. I don't care if my upper arm doesn't grow, VERY likely my upper arm will remain the same it's been the same size for YEARS now. I feel like I've reached my potential when it comes to "Size" but I can still get a lot stronger

those palm width and thickness isnt normal

1:15 So John told me I had a good hand for arm-wrestling because my palm is long. Interesting. See my channel if you want to see my attempts to make use of this hand 😊

[@armwrestlingelysium]

Your brush length is pretty long Leah yes. Its a great anatomical advantage for an armwrestler. How did John s hands are felt when you grippin up with him?

[@LeahRobb]

@@armwrestlingelysium I never thought about it before he said it. Which video have you seen where you saw my 'brush' length 😁 Gripping up with John felt comfortable because even though I was gripping him like you do in arm-wrestling, no power was applied. I wish I'd tried shaking his hand because I think that would have been more telling. Ongarbayev's hand felt notably big when I shook it.
