The 21 Power Levels of Armwrestling Explained - Where do you Rank?

[@dribbles2795]

Wow, that just shows how gifted Ermes is for the sport. He didn't even train and just from picking up a bit of technique from sparring with his father as a teenager but was able to the #1 guy in Austria.

[@DisasterRasta]

Didn't even train 😂😂😂 bro no one gets to that level without training.

[@harshitnirwan4651]

Ermes is Italian not Austrian 😊

[@dribbles2795]

@@harshitnirwan4651 Sorry i meant to say he was able to beat the #1 guy in Austria* because in video talks about how he as a skinny 18 year old was able to beat the #1 guy in Austria.

[@dribbles2795]

@@DisasterRasta His Dad is also a good arm wrestler so when Ermes was a teenager he would spar with him and learn techniques but his only training was table time and he didn't do it very much and it was more of just an activity he did with his dad. He was basically a stick figure at 18 and just destroyed the #1 guy in Austria.

[@gerardoddr]

Ermes still has a lot to go. Devon is on the dawn of his AW carreer. For much that I love Devon, this is the truth. After EvW12 this video has aged well.

[@MelbourneMaster]

Its a fun conversation because Devon will never get close to challenging Levan like Ermes did. Devon is just such a bad matchup for Ermes. Ermes lost in every single setup, Devon is too good at cheating. If Devon gifted Ermes the better setup he would pin Devon Im sure. Ermes has the stronger cup, stronger pronation, stronger backpressure, stronger bicep. Devon beats him bc he has stronger rise and longer leverage and bigger hand.

[@BigBossRank2AustriaChef]

the reason why young ermes was so good is because he was a blue collar worker, armwrestler and had good genetics. he was beating krasimir when he still looked like a kid

[@ryanbluebowen]

[@Freshprankstv1]

True. Hard to say how strong revaz is tho. Dave was still fked from Vitaly match for months and he has all kinds of injuries. He’s on the downward slope almost 50

[@trojanboii]

Hahaha honestly I love this scale, it’s so damn appropriate 😂. I think athletes, based off their weight category. Should be split into two sub categories of Athletecism and Skill. These two categories have 4 levels: novice, amateur, pro and elite Athletecism is comprised of: -strength -endurance -stamina -flexibility -mobility -agility -speed Skill: -experience -training time (muscle memory) -understanding of the sport So you can essentially have guys with pro level Athletecism yet novice level skill. Keep in mind for a competitive strength sport like arm wrestling, the amount of skill you can display is bottlenecked/limited by the strength variable you have. You may be super skilled but if the other guy is too strong it won’t matter how skilled you are. So there are definitely levels to this.

[@lovacc_1967]

feels like this is a response you'd get from chatgpt

[@alondjeckto]

In Armwrestling less flexibility and mobility you have, is better lmao

[@ecec4642]

That was so well done and entertaining, and I totally see where you're coming from. I'm surprised how much I agreed with. Though I might say that Levan is level 22 or 23 at this point, not counting his current wrist injury.

[@GloryYT]

I love these kind of videos, keep em coming man

[@PatrickStar19872]

Some people have a natural propensity at firing certain muscles compared to other people. That coupled with BIGGER joints and hands, differentiates a normal person from an abnormal. If you anatomically looked at Levan's physique, you'd see he shares similarities with Worlds Strongest Men competitors. He has massive joints/hands and has better muscle fibre enhancement.

[@OriginalMindTrick]

I believe there are theoretically possible levels way above even Levan. Just imagine a natural giant like Andre the Giant with giant bone structure and hands, perhaps even make him a bit bigger and robust to max out that stat. Then give him that defect Oleg Zhok got from birth with the condition Jeff Dabe has. Then make him take all the best PEDs for 10 years with optimal armwrestling training and optimal diet. What you would get is something straight out of a comic book. Weirdly shaped hands the size of a man's torso with forearms the size of the biggest bodybuilder's leg. He would be so many power leves above anything we ever seem. Even taking a guy very similar to Andre the Giant would be interesting to see for the sport.
