Love how humble the pro guy was after being beaten. Kudos

[@island-jules]

Look closely at 13:48 how he resets his grip, to where his opponent is now palm up and he is palm down. Beautiful and seamless execution of that technique! Great performance Magnus! You being a professional rock climber gives you a huge upper hand, had you executed the techniques your friend was teaching you, then you would have won far more matches.

[@TheLifeLaVita]

is that a thing though, can you explain to me the rules? It looks so cheesy, like a cheat code. Is releasing the grip on the other hand even allowed

That is really reassuring from a climber’s perspective. I am not a climber, but got a gift card to go climbing. One of the other guys there had lied about his experience and almost killed me. Scared me away from trying climbing ever again.

[@BoomsRiddico4868]

I love it! I'm a small guy but I know all the techniques and could beat most at arm wrestling until I was holding this big guy and had him down but he wouldn't accept I'd beat him so he kicked the table under us and it broke my arm in an impact blow across my humerus!

This is funny, because the strongest person I have ever met was a Norwegian guy delivering furniture. The Furniture guys are Insane. I once saw two really big guys pull up to get this enormous couch, he carried it out to them over one shoulder, and they had a hard-time getting it in the truck together. Edit: Seeing a lot of people commenting on the Furniture guy cheating and so-on. This is no joke, Furniture guys are strong, as they lift crazy shaped stuff, it builds their grip-strength as well, as they have to hold on to angles and so-on that is not Normal, much like a climber I would Imagine. People in general that work really hard manual-labor are really strong, Construction workers, Metal Workers and so on. But the furniture guys are insane, as they lift different shapes and variations every damn day, and work muscle groups No-one would even have thought of training.

[@ryangiddens8774]

I think one of the best situations that the whisperer has done. I've watched him do it a couple of times is force people to make him hold his hand and they never let go and then he rips around and grabs theirs and it's over and finishes them

We as kids did this, but the rules were never to bend the wrists, and to never use the weight of our bodies, - it was pure arms wrestling! You can see clearly Whispers move at 13:50.1 He bends his wrist and loses the other guys grip on him, while having all his body weight thrown in! Good video!!

[@Hazball]

Yeah honestly when I think arm wrestling, I think of those childhood rules that limit it to pure arm strength. But as a sport, I see now it makes sense to have that wrist/grip/bodyweight strategy involved in arm wrestling

Luckily I think there were too many people around for a sane person to try anything, and Magnus is really strong too. Wouldn't be a good idea to pick a fight. I do agree he was shady, I think he was kind of pissed off despite how "friendly" he was acting. Seemed like quite an attention seeker for sure too.
