Almost all arm breaks are from non armwrestlers that dont know what their doing. I've been armwrestling at a club of around 50 people for years and haven't seen 1 arm break. You shouldn't push sideways unless you want a spiral fracture in the humerus bone

Definitely agree, it's much better when you have some idea what he's already talking about. Fortunately a friend of mine was a pro arm wrestler and trained at the gym I used to work at (which was more like a large studio)so I got a lot of first hand knowledge from him. I also found out how strong these guys are and how quickly they could snap all your tendons and ligaments if you actually tried to arm wrestle them.

[@TheCommentSectionComedian]

It's nice to see so many videos covering arm wrestling recently. I have been a fan for years, and now that it's becoming more mainstream, it makes me genuinely happy. Your sense of humor in this video is spot-on; I can tell you've done your research by taking jabs at Bowen and Todd. Very well done! Devon is definitely rockin' the homeless Wolverine look, and your description of him as a fusion of him and Goku is pretty accurate. I have to subtract a few points for not mentioning 'the way of the giant pumpkin' but that's because I'm a huge fan of Devon. John may be the greatest of all time but Devon is still the best because of everything he does for the sport.
