[@darchandarchan7036]

nvmffs as the years go by, skin softens, so many old not obese people have veins showing very clearly. And just how can you blame John in juicing while defending Denis? Denis is roided to the point his face distorted in age of 30’s, while John looks so much better at his almost 60. And actually Denis started training in about 2006 when he participated in several tournaments and beat Andrey on lefts. By the time he faced John in 2008 & 9 he was second only to John, so armfight was needed. And also, if you mean he wasn’t experienced in 2009, how he’ve become so experienced in 2010 when he beat John? Without surgery John might have beaten Denis several times more but i agree that at some point Denis would overpower him. But it wouldn’t have been like in 2010, it would have been fair and square

That slow steady power of brzenk is just insane

[@havarstokkan3455]

the goosebomps i get everytime i see brzenk. iv never idolised anyone this hard before, and i dont even armwrestle. what a hero

[@Ganiscol]

The way John just holds this onslaught of Denis and then proceeds to put the hammer down in his favor is just mesmerizing.

[@jwkoreaguy]

beginning music mashup was amazing, great job

[@JonHop1]

Denis completely loses his hand every single time.. Notice how high up John got on his hand.. Denis never stood a chance.. This was when Denis was still a noob and either was too star struck by John to speak or, or was just too inexperienced. Remember, John was Denis' idol and role model. This is why when Denis finally beat John he jumped around like a little boy he was so giddy.. Denis is such a wholesome guy and him and John are my 2 favorite Arm Wrestlers of all time.. Just great people and they deserve all of their success. I hope both stay healthy.

[@Moodymongul]

I've always liked some of the camaraderie that you see in the arm wrestling world. The respect John and Denis give one another, over the time they have competed, truly reflects the character of both men. A lesson (I feel) we could all learn from.

[@dennism.5145]

I think Cyplenkov in his prime before his ruptured vessel accident was the human that was able to produce the most force in arm wrestling ever. His strength was just out of this world. Devon agreed with that after they had their matches and also he holds the record for the heaviest curl which just shows his incredible strength. Not sure he will ever get to his old form again though / if he is even trying.

[@Pablito5614]

Yea the cost of heavy steroid use is inevitable. I understand if they're on some TRT, especially as they age but Denis was on Hulk juice that shit was not sustainable.

[@smartFunable]

Yeah, Denis just took too much of steroids to get that strength, and, unfortunately, paid with his health for that.

[@BadWeatherfreak]

Brzenk is holy..but the best part of this is when Denis finally gets a win and almost kills himself hopping off stage like a 6 yr old on Xmas morning😁 I love both these warriors

[@vault_dude]

I will explain to many here why in the end Denis was very happy to win. The fact is that John has been his idol since childhood and he really wanted to fight with him and of course show himself that he can. I took all this from his interview in the Russian-language segment, because I myself am following Denis.

[@Mohammadali_9999]

Their match is beautiful, both of them pull, they don't wait under table to make the other tired.

[@lepe]

I think what we can learn from Brzenk is that true armwrestling strength comes from a combination of strong cupping, a powerful upper back, and the right technique to engage them.

When a mechanic of mind is of immense value in combat sport. I credit John's intellect in using his machine as a reason for his legendary success. I believe John Brzenk is the GOAT because he has elite strength & power lead by an elite intellect. He turns his torso into a cast iron Hook attached to his hips. Brilliant motor control and calm conscious awareness. Yogi status! Strength Icon! GOAT status! 💪

@@Dima-ve7dl успех Брзенка не в природной мощи, а в оптимальном сочетании анатомии руки, силы, техники и ума. Он побеждает не силой, а умением вывести рычаг противника в слабое положение, когда у противника работает не бицепс, а тонкие мышцы плеча и предплечья. А свой рычаг он держит так, что максимально работают бицепс и мышцы предплечья. Это так, самый поверхностный анализ.
