Vitaly isnt that far ahead lol. And ermes beat him 6 months ago. Why do people fantasize about Vitaly? Lol ​@@Yonkmaster

[@ChocolateJesii]

Hey Pradeep, speaking of armwrestlers doing cardio, you should check out Mitchell Hooper's video about running every day for 30 days. He decided to run jist 1km per day in the middle of training and with 3 big contests happing during that time frame. If a 330lb strongman can do a short run without adversely affecting his strength, then maybe SHW armwrestlers should take note.

[@tecmissle9256]

I dont think pradeep has ever ran 500meters ...

[@yippee-ki-yay9925]

At some point, carrying 375-410 lbs is going to take its toll on Levan as he gets older. He is going to need to drop 100 lbs at some point to avoid serious health complications.

[@sirgalalot88]

People say things like this, which may be true btw, but offer no such advice to Brian Shaw who is older and heavier.

[@justinrutledge6090]

​@sirgalalot88 Brian is naturally that big levan took a bunch of steroids to achieve that size big difference. Levan used to be 190 lbs in his 20's Brian shaw was probably 190 at 13 years old lol

[@sirgalalot88]

@ rubbish. Cause of course there are no other factors at play. But sure, whatever. You obviously don’t understand anabolics and genetics.

[@yippee-ki-yay9925]

@sirgalalot88 I agree. All these guys 300+ are taking a risk of getting diabetes and having heart problems. They can achieve strength gains, but it's at the expense of health. I like Levan, but I'm just being realistic. You can only fly so close to the sun...

[@X42-w6b]

​@@justinrutledge6090 Go watch, Brian's transformation Nobody is naturally that big 😂

[@shomori9642]

Levan just doesnt care anymore, thats the impression im getting. He does all these reality shows, movies, tv podcasts, having a wife and potentially upcoming kids, you dont see him train and overall he doenst seem "hungry" or living for armwrestling like devon and all the other guys. Therefore i think he'll be beaten sooner than we think

[@jacksonlittle5993]

Because once you are at the very top there is nothing for you to chase anymore so you become bored and want to move on to other things. There is nowhere upward for Levan to go in AW so there's not much reason for him to be hungry. This happens to People of all types of skillsets when they've essentially mastered what they are doing, they look for something new to master.

[@user-wl2md5kz7k]

I don’t believe that, I think he trains extremely hard and that’s why he stays on top of the game. I would like to see him pull more often though.

[@HuyLe-wo3mb]

I think the fact that he’s already peaked and can’t really get any stronger is kinda demotivating too

[@tdemkowski379]

He only has to care 2x per year

[@tdemkowski379]

[@filmscorelife4225]

Its not up to Levan for someone to be deemed worthy. Dude should defend his title every EVW and KOTT because he is THAT dominant.

[@nickk9593]

He can't defend it every e v w and kott. He needs to prepare and then rest.

[@miketurner1908]

That's crazy but I do believe the champion should pull 2 or 3 times a year. But no other sport I can think of off the top of my head is like this

[@steve9668]

He would've been in the ground years ago if he never took a break from the steroids. He looks like a fat guy half the time and the other half he looks like a mini hulk.

[@ConnoisseurOfExistence]

@@miketurner1908 In boxing and ufc, the champions fight max 2 times a year, often less.

[@miketurner1908]

@@ConnoisseurOfExistence yeah that was my point, often less. No sport I can think of off the top of my head makes it mandatory to defend the title more than once a year.

[@zacpanther6364]

He might be stronger than Devon, but he doesn’t come across as a true champion to me. He doesn’t defend his title enough. He’s only defended against Ermes and Devon. Devon has arm wrestled probably more than half a dozen already.

[@vasilisvasiliadis3256]

Prime Levan could lose only against prime Denis, Devon is a machine of armwrestling and a great promoter of the sport, but nowhere near Levan ... zero wins against Levan and Levan didn't try that hard

[@mindrover777]

What title?

[@victory1788]

​@vasilisvasiliadis3256 I don't think prime Denis would have any chance against Levan

[@vasilisvasiliadis3256]

@victory1788 There was a time when Denis was called a hydraulic press machine. He used to win without even trying, I honestly believe it would be a 50 - 50 match but we will never know

[@victory1788]

@vasilisvasiliadis3256 In left hand I agree, he had a very good chance of winning. But in right arm I think Levan is overall stronger (except for back pressure), and has superior technique. Yes, he lacks the endurance though.

[@tjizzle8155]

Iraklis bicep looks like a damn exlarge softball😂

[@Mike-Olds-1]

I think the number one reason Levan doesn’t have more matches is because of a lack of qualified opponents

[@phothewin6019]

He should just pull regardless so he has more than 2 matches a year. If we keep waiting for “qUaLiFiEd” opponents, he’ll be stuck with 1 or 2 matches a year (and it might be the same lineup of Devon, Ermes, and Vitaly just rotating lmao).

[@9xqspx6]

There are at least 10 people he could pull. I'm not saying they have a big chance of beating Levan, but they would be matches people would want to watch. And then who knows, maybe some of them could give Levan a challenge.

[@dubs8049]

Hes getting bored of the competition. He should take care of his health once he's done

[@X42-w6b]

​@@phothewin6019 It's boring, he doesn't need to pull guys like Tsvetkov, Dzeranov or Morozov who lost to guys Levan beat. Nobody wants that one sided matches

[@nickk9593]

The other reason is Levan takes at least 3 months for preparation and rests for at least 1 month after competition, so he can pull 3 matches at most a year which is fine.

[@iamatlantis1]

2:05 look how young and strapping Levan is here

[@jax9574]

Makes sense, there's nothing much to do for him, after he finishes Jerry, there's only MMT left realistically, which people may find interesting because of the unorthodox style of MMT and there's Ermes who does deserve a rematch, but once Levan beats them there's nobody left, and don't give me Vitaly's name, that guy ain't doing shit to Levan with his style of pulling deep down everyone knows that, Morozov? Lol don't make me laugh

[@phothewin6019]

Careful, the Vitaly fanboys are going to attack you and tell you about Vitaly’s new “Full-Time Crimson Release Special Mode” anime power-up that will dethrone Levan one day 🤣🤣🤣

[@erod6468]

Mmt is not arm wrestling. That's just some guy hanging from a man's arm under the table. Fully opened like a vag*na.

[@berthobo3912]

Denis ?😂😂😂😂😂

[@Askaa88]

One contradicting thing I noticed is: Levan said that he wasn't that serious when he pulled Ermes in 2023? And at the same time saying that he only pulls 1-2 times a year because he wants to be as prepared as possible for a supermatch?

[@Armbender1085]

He wants less chance of losing and doesn’t want to drop dead from all the gear he is blasting year round

[@RogerPaul-planetx-nibiru]

Mystery my foot, fact is the more levan arm fights the more of a chance he has of losing and we all knows it. Let levan and others get off the steroids and then see how strong they really are. The arm wrestling federation should make a no drug rule.

[@YitroBenAvraham]

If they drug tested, they would kill their own sport. They just choose to be open and transparent about it. Everyone understands what they are signing up for. The East just makes mutants out of men. Denis, Levan and Ermes are completely unrecognizable now with their distorted faces.

[@tjizzle8155]

Jerry will win one..atleast...levan is a little slower on the start...as long as jerry can get in position dirst is his only chance imo....lets go jerry

[@Jean-Michel.Daigle]

Levan likes to be mysterious and it works! He is strong as hell , already a legend but i don't think he's gonna retire soon. I think i remember him saying he plans on 9 - 10 more years. If he can learn technique as much as devon, he could be unbeatable. In my opinion he just needs to master kings move, leverage in belt grips and shoulder press

[@jacksonlittle5993]

Levan has reached the pinnacle of AW and he has nothing to chase anymore, he IS the chase. You see people of all talents and skillsets eventually become bored when they've seemingly mastered what they are doing and or reached the top. Why would Levan be hungry when there's no chase for him? You can only maintain your position so long before you simply just get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. It's natural that he would want to move onto other things that he may then attempt to master those as well. Levan is the Micheal Jordon of AW and guess what MJ did? he got bored and went and played baseball. (John is more of MJ in the sense of his fame and legacy but I only compare Levan to him in his current state of dominance not necessarily in the length of legacy)

[@steve9668]

It's hard to chase something that's rarely ever around. The sport wouldn't be much different if we saw no Levan matches as opposed to his one every 2 years BS.

Levan is clever...he doesn't want his arm-wrestling career best streak to be broken by best arm wrestlers who will enter this sport soon ...ig !

[@TradeInfinitum]

Levan needs lots of steriod cycle to maintain his current shape for his youtube channel and armwrestling matches. Since levan now has a wife she probably sees how much steroids hes injecting and want him to stop. i think levan has made a good money off armwrestling/youtube but he probably needs a retirement plan.

[@GOLDPIECEMMA]

So at what point will you guys give Levan his credit? Does he have to keep arm wrestling until he’s older and weaker? Does he need to lose, other wise you accuse him of quitting?

[@NEWZ_EDITZ]

Bro wtf 🤣🤣 Levan isn't injecting juice in front of her wife . His retirement has nothing to do with it .

Levan be like : Hated by millions but defeated by none 🗿

[@soakedbearrd]

Respect for getting out while on top, but I’ll be Frank and say he should never be mentioned in the same breath as John, or Devon. Being on top for 7-8 years while having around 8 super matches isn’t going to do it. We can say he’s the strongest arm wrestler to ever do it, but never the best. The best is reserved for those that take risks and prove themselves on a consistent basis. Incoming all his fans….. When it comes to the East, I think Laletin is the future, ermes will burn out from ped use (his frame cannot handle the muscle mass for the long run) and young guys like morozov are already having issues because of it.

[@mrfrupo]

Why would he retire? He hasn't even arm wrestled yet.

[@andjustice4all89]

Honestly, if MMT destroys Ermes easily, he can be a definite challenge for Levan

[@PurpleNightmare52]

Levan will literally not live to see 50 (perhaps 45) if he stays that weight and continues blasting gear the way he does. When Larry Wheels says publicly that you use an insane amount of drugs, you know you’re in dangerous territory.

Why retire only only pulls once every 2 years

[@mark-f4e6k]

Levan isn't invincible. Ermes and Devon both showed this. Without a press Levan likely would have lost round 1 against Devon. He nearly lost a round against Ermes. If anyone can beat Levan, it's Jerry. Trust me. Jerry has the perfect weapon against him.

The low hand top roll is a terrible decision for Levan. Just gives him more footing. He needs to gain a height advantage and continue re-gripping so Levan can’t get good cupping. I could definitely see Vitaly getting a pin if he needs up his hand and wrist and stays away from the low hand top roll. That just works on weaker and shorter opponents.

[@jankowalski1501]

Adding all gear intake together, during a year it is very likely he takes the least amount of gear out of all of them - he has only 1-2 matches a year. ANd you do not take gear all the time, just a prep cycle.

[@steve9668]

With the amount of times I've seen him compete I've just assumed he retired already. I mean last match they had to bust out the oxygen for him. I don't think he wants to do it until they have bust out a stretcher because his enlarged heart fails.
