John Brzenk Master of Arm Wrestling Techniques

[@MrBiscuit75]

Everything in this video about John is spot on. There is one thing I never hear mentioned when talking about John's greatness and forgive me if it's mentioned in the earlier video you made and referenced in this one. That is that anytime I watch John pull he rarely if ever has fouls called against him. His arm wrestling game is so good and true that he never has to rely on lifting his elbow off the mat, false starting, trying to find a cheating grip or crawling under the table to perform the queens move to stay alive or gain and advantage. John's advantage like you said is his hard work, table I.Q. and flawless technique.

[@wayistman]

Yeah bud I never thought about that! So true 👍

[@avipandit581]

Exactly ...he armwrestles like a MAN...

[@joec1179]

Yea great point, I've never heard anyone complain about him either, fair grip and go💪

[@karuonline3294]

​​@@joec1179 exactly..more than can be said about...most other arm wrestlers...( especially those like Devon )

[@chipferguson5129]

Absolutely spot on observation. John is and always be the GOAT. 40 years and still very very relevant. Thank you Mr Brzenk for your class and genuine humbleness. Atrue sportsman and great champion.

[@MathewJC25]

Absolutely amazing breakdown and mini documentary. There truly is no one like John Brzenk and to be honest, I don’t think there ever will be anyone close to JB in arm wrestling. He dominated his sport more than Jordan, Lebron, Brady, any sports figure you can think of, he was better at his sport than they were at theirs. Truly John Brzenk is the Greatest of all time.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

🥊👊🏼👌🏼

[@wayistman]

Hey man, couldn't have said it better. I would like to add that he was also a really nice guy and had real respect for others, some machine! I really pray he comes to know the Jesus of the Bible.

[@chipferguson5129]

Amen...thank you for this statement. Nobody in even a little close to John.

Great video, I like these mini documentaries

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Glad you like them!

Voice of Armwrestling make more pls

[@MisterMisteryMouse]

His versatility is what really sets him apart of other legends of the sport like Devon, Travis, Ron or Denis. Not just being literally unstoppable for almost three decades, but the way he was able to find a different key to every one of his opponents. He is in his own league. Truly THE GOAT.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Great comment!

[@Dmgolfer22]

Yes but not so much Devon. Devon is probably the most versatile arm wrestler of all time. But, his elbows blew out while he was on top. Another thing that’s impressive is that Devon has been champ and equally versatile with his left as well. With that being said, John is still GOAT with decades of consistently being on top.

[@lordpopo4450]

Dont disrespect devon like that, the man can do it all on the table

[@johnbraucher1499]

Devon and John are on the same level if versatility. Maybe even more now than John. John will say that himself.

[@Ultimate.Tennis]

@@johnbraucher1499 Devon is versatile but he was never good in tournaments. He's never won WAF for example. John was amazing at both tournaments and super matches.

[@tropik5724]

There will never be another guy like John a true Legend.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Thank You

[@mikemccormick8115]

His techniques exploiting whatever weakness or vulnerability of his opponent, and having no weakness himself is one way he was the unquestionable GOAT. Also his training and emphasis on practice with so many vs weight training. This is how he beat stronger men. So yes, he was the smartest at his sport. Fierce mental competitor also. Endurance too.

[@minhhale]

If possible you should include some interview bits from John himself! Hearing him speak would add a lot more credibility to the video.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

maybe for future videos

[@chesterik]

I love the way you basically explained what armwrestling is all about and related it all to John. There is nothing more to say. Good job! 😉

[@Dmgolfer22]

Something that I think is interesting after watching old ARMTV videos is that John and his brother Bill pulled very similar with angles, body positions, movements, etc. It’s just John was a little better and a little stronger. They look like each other pulling.

[@DashDrones]

Love how the thumbnail shows Todd's elbow never even touched the pad.. 😂

[@haagenneldeberg6787]

I can see the problem when it's in a defensive position, but the point of the elbow will never stay directly on the pad when you are pulling sideways.

Brzenk doesn’t get the respect he deserves on the world stage. He was more dominant in his sport, and for far longer, than Jordan, Federer, Ruth, Woods... I’m not sure there’s ever been a more complete domination of a sport by one competitor. Any ideas?

[@apetogetherstrong4243]

@@haagenneldeberg6787 so cheating a little bit to a level which is ignorable, bit by bit by bit until your elbow is clearly off the pad or atleast the lower bone of it making it hooked on the pad, tyring out your opponents who are renowned specifically for their stamina and pinning them in the end. Holding the hammer as if you are the most fair puller and then repeating it FOR MULTIPLE MATCHES for majority of carrer , doesn't deserve critisism 😑

Table IQ. That is a perfect way to describe Johns game.

[@crazypeeps7218]

If you haven't seen John in real life then you don't even understand of how gifted he is aswell. I was fortunate enough to see him in person and even grip up one time. He is so well balanced and looks pretty massive in person. Especially his arm and hands. His hand might be a huge reason why he is that good also. I dont think I ever gripped up with anybody that has a hand like John.

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Yes, Johns hand is special

[@redcat608]

Amazing video! Can you do more arm wrestling matches analysis?

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

I'll try!

[@nightbreed141]

Later on John came out in a video that he said that a doctor told him that he was born with over developed bicept tendon which makes his grip super strong and can easily arm wrestle people even bigger guys. Same for other famous arm wrestlers too who have been born with the same over developed bicep tendons. Its more of a gift !!!

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

Interesting

[@TNM001]

that may be a part of it, but he did table time for years, weekly, since his childhood. don't ever think you become the best in anyting just by being gifted. that may help you when you get in the last 1% bracket.
