@hhhk20 i see your point bro, but without actually knowing devon personally can you really make a definitive judgement of his parenting? furthermore, even if you did know him personally it's difficult to accurately judge his family's household dynamics and how he and his family work through their issues. so, maybe you're right, but maybe you're wrong but i don't believe you have sufficient evidence/insight to truly draw a conclusion on how devon treats/feels about his children and it's a little weird that you seem so passionate about it in the first place.

[@welshtoro3256]

Thanks Neil, That was a fantastic discussion and I think Rob, Mike and Devon all made excellent points. We have weight divisions for a reason, as was pointed out. The exception, of course, is Super Heavy when the sky's the limit. Weight is no use, as Mike pointed out, if its simply blubber. There's a sweet spot for every athlete. You can get bigger but lose endurance or dynamism. We also have to admit that some athletes are doing things to their bodies, in order to get bigger, that is detrimental to their health.

Kev Dawg, Devon showed us that he has a King’s Move, too. If the refs are unbiased and call the elbow fouls AND insist that the forearm/triceps are NOT the elbow (which they are not), Todd has almost ZERO chance of beating Devon. The problem is that too many refs ignore the elbow fouls and they let the elbow leave the pad and consider the forearm to be okay.

Been arm wrestling in japan for the last 2 years and I gotta say it’s hard telling just how strong people are here until you grip up with them. At my size I have to pull as tactical as possible because there’s middle and heavyweights who are just plain stronger than me and the only thing I can do is try to stop the match and look for weak points. Size definitely helps mechanically but as far as muscle mass goes I no longer use it as a way of judging how strong they are. Big difference between show muscle and go muscle.

[@johnjackson12]

Size matters to a point. If you can gain 20lbs you may gain 20% stronger. The next 20lbs may only give a 5% increase in strength due to the limitations of your frame. Also gaining weight also could be detrimental to endurance and mobility around the table. Then that 5% strength may not be worth it overall

Why is jokester Todd even a part of this panel, his method of table hiding has nothing to do with arm wrestling

[@squishydafishy]

The more creative "under the table" jokes are funny but he is not the only one to use it, its legal, get over it 😁

[@roccobierman4985]

For a guy from Massachussets RVJ is quiet as hell here.

[@aratakk7953]

there's no table cause if there was michael todd would hide under it

[@damienmason3807]

Great video. 100% agree with Devon on nearly every topic. Its the frame and Devon has the perfect frame for arm wrestling. You could see that when he was 220lbs. Super lean low body fat with plenty of room to grow with a 6'5 frame. Someone like Bresnan is soft and only going to get softer as he gets bigger. Middle weight guys should be athletic genetically its easy to be that way. On the point of technique the heavyweight and open divisions require high technique as a must because only a small % of the population are that size. A sloppy technical heavyweight puller is going to get found out in 5 minutes.

12:00 devon's arm 😍

[@Darion350]

Imagine how big it would be if he worked on his triceps. His biceps is absolutely humongous..

[@AccuracySpeaks]

I heard Todd was going on tour with the Dave Matthews Band in a few years for the 30th-anniversary tour of one of their greatest albums!

[@Fox8ball.]

In a year or two RVJ will be replaced by Ryan Bowen

[@osielone1]

I have yet to taste defeat in armwrestle and these champions just give me more determination to keep training. I believe size does not matter

[@TheSid2355]

When RVJ claims to have beaten some heavyweights. Where is the footage. Dreams dont count. And winning a round our of 5 rounds also does not count.

[@DropkickNation]

Do some research, buddy.

[@liusam2305]

When your parents claim you are their son, where is the footage of you being born? Dreams don't count. Gotta go with a DNA test, am I right?

[@TheSid2355]

@@liusam2305 Haha, actually I have my birth video lol. I get what you are saying.

[@liusam2305]

@@TheSid2355 So are you sure who your father is? You never know until you do the DNA test.

[@luigimanzelli3786]

Yeah i mean, like Devon said you have to be gifted with a frame that can healthily support a significant weight increment, there's no general rule and like Michael said there's a "right" weight for every athlete, but only the athlete himself can determine where that is.

[@bruceleroy8063]

Talent pool size does matter. At the elite level, everyone has a genetic gift whether you can see it or not. If there are 2 people in your weight class, you have a better chance of being the best than if there are 4 people. It's not just about hard work at this level, it's about what your genetics can do with that work.

[@TimmyTurner421]

Yes you gotta have something going for you to make it to that level

[@thearmwrestlingmemechannel1434]

Timmy Turner pssst... don’t tell anyone but I heard Ryan Bowen’s thing is ‘vectors’. Don’t tell anyone.

[@Mesterlock]

I loved it, hope to see more videos like this in the future.

[@animatedant]

Why dont u guys just release the full interview. This same interview was uploaded 3 weeks ago and one almost 5 weeks ago. I know u need content, but...come on lol

[@thearmwrestlingmemechannel1434]

Animated Ant Ye they sit down and record an hours worth of content and hen break it up and release it week by week that way to extend their content and garner more views off of different videos = kaching! More money baby. WAL is nothing but a cashcow circus. There is 0 integrity and prestige.

[@tcmx712]

I'm guessing it's also because it's out of season for them so they have to keep people interested until it picks up again

[@brentlionakaboldchamp]

I think size really does matter. Especially with the really big guys, because arent just big...but are super strong and muscular, irregardless of whether its on or off the table. Like Levan....has a monstrous bench, huge bicep curl, super strong shoulders, probably the strongest side pressure out there. Like a brick wall. Thats why i think strength, more than anything, is probably the most important...at least once you reach that too level. It seems like the strongest guys usually wins...at the very top level, though. It doesnt seem to matter so much with the heavyweight and lightweight guys, because they are all pretty strong for their size and technically great, but they can move more, are usually faster....so they are likely to be more technical, and leverage matters a little bit more. But....a really interesting topic.

[@Despond]

"Engaging topic" "OK LETS WRAP IT UP". Always way too short, you can see they had a lot more to say.

[@Ravishrex1]

I agree but I'm amazed that this even happened

[@cdngamereh]

Agreed 100% 💯

[@lovetownsend]

10:20 Very true point Devon says here. Applies to MMA, look at featherweight and super heavies, regular guys don't relate or respect those champions as much cause 1. they can't relate and 2. the competitions slimmers, most guys 180-230 athletically.
