Devon Larratt Armwrestling Seminar - Part 1 - Pin Route

First part in the fantastic Devon Larratt armwrestling seminar that we shot during his time in Melbourne in March 2014. In this first episode Devon talks about side pressure, pin route, cupping, and touches on his 2004 match against John Brzenk and the lessons he took away from that loss.

[@mackenziedonahue6165]

love the video. only thing i didn't like: camera spent too much time on the faces of the seminar attendees and not enough on Devon.

1:32 lol, the guy with the green shirt is like: "since when is this rocket science?!"

He knows he not forever in this business... So he shares his experience and technical as he knows... Respect him... ☺

[@PimpBeetle138]

Gotta love Devon Larratt.

Love Devon. Love John B. But Devon is just so fun to watch!

Wow! This is very similar to kettlebell competitive lifting. Thanks for positing!

[@xouleposxoulepos4506]

not a bad seminar...hes good

[@imptentiqs7865]

*Okay...*

[@enkibumbu]

Fascinating to see such a smart and analytical guy choose this kind of sport. I mean, it's commonly thought of as a barroom sport. I wonder what's his origin story. He seems to have the brains to be a college professor.

[@ruirui7794]

Taking to account the sad examples of human beings that pass as "college teachers" this guy is way more cunning and intelligent. Devon Larrat is the GOAT of his sport.

[@room2376]

Had I watched this years ago I might not have hurt my shoulder bar room arm wrestling

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

he was in the special forces

[@stephenstuckey]

Hes a canadian armed forces/military guy. Hes always been big and strong. The endurance prob comes from the brutal and hellish training he had to go through. Str8.

[@spankystone3428]

Devon makes me proud to be canadian..I wanna arm wrestle him one day for shits n giggles..the guy has broken more arms than rhonda rousey...seriously..o town baby hahaha

[@kylehardy8562]

+Kevin Townsend it was joke that's why he said for the shits and giggles.. U making out like he fucking called him wack

[@organikness]

you sound salty af bro. go eat some rainbows and chill the f88K out

[@francistalbot6584]

spanky stone: Devon does not brake arms. He just wins over and over again. The best.

[@iby914]

Kevin Townsend - Look here. Another generic moron on the internet who has no awareness of humour.

[@UnseenSpirit]

Hopefully arm wrestling gets huge on the Internet and Devon can earn big money like 200k a year

[@trollgag5221]

Thank you camera man. I learned a lot from the listening faces of audience than Devon himself. Next time, please focus more on the beautiful Australian landscapes, the funnel web spiders, the eastern small-eyed snakes and the Irukandji jelly fishes. It would be more insightful.

[@vows2sweden]

"ok" seems to be a very useful word.

Your right

To be the best you need to have technique, be Devon Larratt and have technique.

[@obi7952]

Amazing he is soo much bigger then this

[@rockyescape8989]

he got me at 2:55 i cant make my two elbows touch no way. i didnt even know that was a factor lol

[@josephcarroll6356]

He's like a mix between a Baldwin brother and Diego from blow.

[@swagnoazoro3507]

They positioned the cameras on the audience in such weird angles.

I would not give,away my secrets till I was retired

It’s baffling how different he looks 9 years ago.

holyyyy why is the camera angle facing the people's face more than his teaching loll

[@PinkMageBuu]

Oh my, dear friend, ignorance is truly bliss.

[@geetambaishya4476]

Hoi neki

[@wheresmygun]

Dude is a lean 250+ and you think he's natural LOL

[@wrxrob2589]

Not after 40, guarantee you everyone is on at least testosterone, I’m not sure about others like tren and deca cause you don’t want your muscles growing stronger than your tendons, you’ll have injury issues.

[@wheresmygun]

Hemington there's no way a natural guy could dominate a field of juiced athletes. Steroids cause extra glycogen retention which balloons out the muscles but this is temporary and dose dependent. Bruce Lee admittedly used steroids, look at his ropey striated muscles. Devon also trained heavy singles for years which increase muscle tonus and grow connective tissue (check out a weighlifter's quads and back muscles). If you want to believe high level strength athletes are natural, I suggest you hide your head as deep in the sand as it can go because that belief is 100% naive and uninformed. I have nothing against steroid use, the hypocritical state of affairs has to do with politics (keeping steroids away from low information average people by telling them it's immoral and poisonous instead of effective but dangerous and expensive), use is quite widespread in athletics and even gym goers and crossfit yuppies.

[@cholognesi]

me gustaria entender las explicaciones de devon, pero para mi estan en iraqui!!! solo entiendo algunas mimicas

[@WhopperWednesday]

He really is the alpha male. He's a big dude and one that knows he's strong imagine getting into a fight with him I bet no punches would be thrown all he'll do is grab your clothes like you got jolted forward in a fender bender you'll just feel this flushing feeling come over your body before you could even understand what's going on he'll twist you up like he's wringing out water from a towel

[@alphakbody]

Dev looks hi af in this god damn son

[@jacobcherian4384]

I would love too see Devon Larratt arm wrestle basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain in his prime or athletic peak in the 1960`s !

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

Devon would win

[@jacobcherian4384]

I don`t think so ! Wilt chamberlain`s arms are bigger, longer and stronger than Devon`s arms and he is 8 inches taller and has a lot more endurance ,power and stamina than Devon Larrat !

[@fostersstubbyasmr9557]

+Jacob Cherian have you seen him vs the mountain? Devon has great technique, I'm not saying his stronger, but he would win.

[@thepsyhoo]

They not even bigger, let alone stronger. He wouldn`t last a second (literally) against Devon.

[@jacobcherian4384]

Wilt would beat the mountain in a second in an arm wrestling match and could pick up Devon larrat with one arm. He has moved 300lb. basketball players like cups of coffee. But I think also and agree Devon would beat Wilt based on great arm wrestling technique !

Lol why did they cut to a guy eating.

[@joeblow9123]

Micheal Phelps was built for swimming Devon was built for arm wrestling never hurts being gifted from the start! I would be willing to bet Devon can probably throw a 100mph fastball not saying he could put over home plate but the genetics are there!

[@Brutalocalypse]

Why focus on the audience? You've got the world's best and you turn to the people watching.
