John Brzenk, Janis Amolins and Coach Ray - Kitchen Armwrestling Conversations

[@abcdefghijkl5408]

I love the almost encyclopedic memory of people, matches, and years that janis has.....crazy.

[@dude157]

This video was very informative. We learned to keep John in the sport we should supply him with lucrative supermatches that also provide John a competitive challenge. They should also be sufficiently spaced apart to give himself time to adequately recover and prepare for the next.

[@DexterHaven]

Yes, John should be 'grandfathered' in to any events he likes too.

"We want to thank John Brzenk who took us in while we were staying in Arizona." Perhaps it would be reasonable to give Renee some credit too :) I love her cameo at the end ;)

Good morning boys hope all is well and I agree there should be 2 super heavy weight classes maybe like 250lbs or 260lbs to like 300lbs or 310lbs then a class for all the monsters 👹 that are bigger then that also I can’t wait to watch arm wrestling grow over the next 5 years

[@jessehensley1812]

I'm actually surprised John didn't mention Travis as being one of the best , grant it Travis was obviously best left handed but was pretty damn good right handed also which is why I think he is one the best all time

[@DexterHaven]

KZbin has done as much for armwrestling as it's done for chess, which is huge now with the game replay & analysis channels. That video of John beating Lukes for the overall title in 1988 was a rare site, not to be matched today. Lupkes was twice his size in shoulders, arms, back.

John Brzenk Should only do a best of five against Devon since John is older and has some shoulder issues. John should also have strict reffing where Devon can’t bully the ref and no 30 second strap rule. John did it under Devon‘s terms the first time now John should have a say in the second time and besides if John request a match and let everyone know he wants this match with his fair rules this time Devon refuses he look like a coward. It’s only fair and again six rounds is too much at John’s age with his shoulder problems

forget pulling Devon. just boycott him. he is too nasty to play along with others

[@agnidas5816]

5:40 - that's the chemical effect of steroids on your psyche actually - makes you super confident. They help you in endless ways ... We gotta get neurochemistry involved in how these men and women train : it will affect their table IQ, start speed, reaction time, speed at which you change angles and how well you use rest of your body to help and how good you are at biofeedback and understanding how to train and stretch better.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

Devon relies on a bonelock

[@mr.rabbit8303]

@@StrongerThanBigfoot nope he is not! Devon hasn’t a significant bone lock like Michael Todd. I think Devon worked really hard in his pronation and he is using it to stop his opponents in his open toproll.

[@sergeysmelnik]

It's both. Devon has had surgery and he cant fully straighten his arm like MT or Dennis so he does have a bone lock. However hes very strong right before he reaches it. You can look at his matches vs matt mask. Vs stronger opponents he is bone locking like vs chaffee. If hes not careful though a strong enough opponent could break his arm like Levan possibly if he doesnt stand up.

[@Fossilized-cryptid]

ONLY PRUDNIK HAS A CHANCE TO BEAT JOHN AT 110 KG IMO
