The Rise and Fall of Dave Chaffee

[@TimmyTurner421]

Dave took on all the European super heavyweights .. Cyplenkov, Trubin, Levan, Laletin, Kurdecha, Genadi, Ermes, Morozov, Revaz ... never avoided anyone. Beast! 💪💪

[@Jmo-1977]

Freaking Legend! No shame in Dave's game. 💯

[@mikoriikonen7651]

Pushkar too!

[@humanbean3]

Dave is the pillar of armwrestling. No bullshit. No trash talk. No excuses. Pulls anyone at anytime (not just people he thinks he can beat during a roid peak like a lot of them do) Just an all around good guy like most introverts. Anyone that talks any amount of disrespect towards Dave immediately outs themselves as an idiot. Let's go Dave Chaffee!

[@NaturalHypertrophy]

After the latest Larratt vs Chaffee match, I'm keen to learn more about Dave! Perfect timing Mr. Arm Historian

[@limo-swine6537]

Seeing NH here! Not much surprised because of your incorporation of arm wrestling movements to train wrists meant you must be in the arm wrestling scene

[@humanbean3]

glad to see a devon fan branch out of only devon!

[@kennyproctor7691]

Dave is still a force to be reckoned with by any standard. Devon is just a different type of athlete, as he clearly dedicates nearly 100% of his effort into the sport, where athlete's such as Dave have a full time job. Nevertheless, a great video my friend, shalom.

[@armhistorian]

Thanks for joining the conversation. I agree that Dave is for sure still top tier.

[@armhistorian]

I love me some Dave Chaffee and I think it shows in this episode. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed researching and making it. Make sure to share the episode and let me know who you want to see next!

[@armhistorian]

​@nukeis-rah-hellhaha. Double doh. It even says so right in my script.

[@armhistorian]

@nukeis-rah-hell I use my script as captions, so it makes sense it would say stout, as that's what I wrote 😂

[@armhistorian]

@nukeis-rah-hell No worries. I misunderstood myself while talking in my own video.

[@simonincognito6286]

Dave has a clean brute force which is very special. These days, it does make a difference between professional AWs who can commit full-time and those doing it after their main work, and also how many PEDs a competitor takes etc. The AW field is changing.

[@armhistorian]

I agree with you. An evolution is happening.

[@ghostpepper69]

one of my favorite arm wrestlers of all time!!!

[@armhistorian]

Right there with you!

[@venomshot2815]

The devon watch was crazy, interesting to see where dave will head in the future

[@nickd.7267]

He just needs to get these injuries fixed and train hard again assumably, and he'll be back to giving massive battles with the best in the world.

[@sm6086]

If only it was that simple lol.

[@limo-swine6537]

Another awesome video Mr. Arm. Dave Chaffee will always be remembered as being a standard unit of strength in arm wrestling.

[@mrman2512]

I had no idea that the tattoo was GTA V! I didn't know that Dave was a gamer

[@armhistorian]

Yea! Apparently he enjoyes a whole slew of games. From Super Mario Bros 3 to GTA.

[@mcfarvo]

Dave, perhaps to his own detriment, took on all comers at the table! Despite his injuries and frequently taking matches against superior opponents, Dave demonstrated his power and strength! 💪

[@armhistorian]

Indeed. If Dave decides to return, I'd love for him to take a little longer breaks between matches.

[@mikelegros2467]

I think he should fight MMT. Both have been on a slide lately and Dave would probably not be the favorite in that matchup but I'm not ready to see him retire. Maybe vs Matt Mask.

[@Troy_bouncefit]

Good matches!

[@jamesdjl4359]

I am here my friend. The sneak peak yesterday during livestream has prepared me. Hope all is well Mr. Arm.

[@justaguyfromreddit]

The eait was worth for this one! Stellar video mate!

[@dqreps]

Great vid bro, very well done!! As always 💪

[@Troy_bouncefit]

True champion of USA. We all love Easy money. Thank you I'm historian for another quality upload! 🎉

[@armhistorian]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MuscleBandit]

Such a shame that Dave has accrued enough losses to warrant a rise and fall video. I really hope that whatever is happening with Dave behind closed doors gets remedied, he still has years left in him yet and the West is now relying on Devon and Jerry to stop the European open heavy weight pullers from totally destroying us. Gotta love Dave. At least we get an AH video from it, that's a decent consolation for sure! Cheers, MB 💪

[@armhistorian]

I get what you're saying, Muscle! I don't think Dave's career would be done if he decides to stay in the sport. He still possesses enormous strength and I feel like he's only just recently getting really precise with his movements on the table. I hope if he decides to keep armwrestling, he takes a little more of a break between matches and works on his mental fortitude.

[@Jmo-1977]

Don't forget MMT he's on one hell of a comeback 😂😂😂

[@armhistorian]

@@Jmo-1977 He was the very first person I covered on the this channel.

[@ijustgother]

Why is Ermes never considered West? It doesn't make sense.

[@jmbcars]

​@ijustgother because Italy is over 5000 miles east of the US and only about 300 miles west of Turkey and Ukraine etc

[@tosmove]

Great episode, perfect timing as well. 💪

[@ibanezrgt220a9]

Great channel 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@armhistorian]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@e-ton2145]

I think Dave wasn’t physically prepared for Revaz, and wasn’t mentally prepared for Devon due to the mind games (the little he says should be taken at face value). I expect he will be back on form to demolish Tsonev.

[@armhistorian]

Yea, I believe he'll defeat Tsonev rather easily. I do hope he stays with the sport for many years to come.

[@wikki11]

Yet another great Video! Good job

[@armhistorian]

I appreciate that

[@saitama741]

as always best quality 👍

[@mnz97]

Can you make a video about Dimitry Trubin? It's been pretty quiet lately when it comes to him...

[@mnz97]

@nukeis-rah-hell He was ridden by constant injuries before he stopped competing. Also he was on a downhill losing quiet a few of his matches, even at the nomad games in Kazakhstan he couldn't finish first...

[@AntiquaRelic]

Dave is probably the second greatest arm wrestler in america only behind john brzenk

[@IgorKalember]

10/10 Quality work

[@justaguyfromreddit]

Had to come back to this masterpiece

[@theschmoe9140]

💪🏻 great content

[@armhistorian]

I'm happy you're enjoying it.

[@renjiaow3742]

I hope he takes the time to recover and come back stronger than ever, he has a lot of potential to show still.

[@htaehxela]

I watch these videos for the baby pictures of the arm wrestlers

[@armhistorian]

As good a reason as any! Maybe I'll make a collage of all of them one day.

[@matt_555]

Nice one!

[@armhistorian]

Thanks for the visit

[@tallpaulhutchensjr.]

Big Dave 🇺🇸💪 certainly some American muscle and has been one tough competitor, champion, and legend 💪🏆🤘I hope he gets neck straightened out and makes a huge a comeback or drop down to the heavyweights.. another amazing video from the myth the man the legend Arm Historian 🤘🤘

[@armhistorian]

I love me some Dave too. He's such a consummate professional.

[@xXJeReMiAhXx99]

[@Alekoramishviliofficial]

he will rise again

[@MetalJuggler]

Goood damn didnt see babychaf coming lol.. Binged alot of your videos now, top tier content! Keep it coming.

[@armhistorian]

Nobody ever expects the Baby Chaffee. I'm glad you enjoy my content, thanks for letting me know!

[@karakondzula1388]

One of the greatest guys in armwrestling. Gentle giant, i hope he returns with a bang.

[@NikitaBabanovArmwrestling]

[@АлександрЕнюков-я6ж]

Great video man! And great sportsman!

[@armhistorian]

Thanks! I agree. Dave is a class act.

[@AleksandarIvanov69]

Good guy Dave!

[@GrannySoupLadle]

I love that his favorite game is GTA 😂

[@armhistorian]

Right? He's also into retro nintendo games apparently, talking fondly of mario bros and castlevania.

[@pacocarrion7869]

Dave Chaffee protagonize one the best fight in armwrestling versus Denis

[@CutandShoot5x5]

Dave is ridiculously STRONG! How can you criticize anything?! It just seems if that MASSIVE HIT is caught, he struggles with the finish.

[@armhistorian]

He is indeed!

[@TwistedTransistor88]

if chaffee started earlier and had technique,..damn he could've been a Goat.

[@РубенМкртчян-в5х]

Dave technique is difficult He can progress a lot

[@salvocampoli]

Guys I have to say that i'm in love with Dave's wife :) Big complimentx to Dave, for real :😅😅😅

[@armhistorian]

She's definitely an attractive woman.

[@salvocampoli]

@@armhistorian wtf yes. Good for him 😀

[@Medieval_Dead]

It’s unfortunate but it does indeed seem that the fall of Dave Chaffee has arrived.

[@crunchycrackers7364]

Yea, although he did say he will promise us he will be back. We will see what happens in the next year or 2

[@armhistorian]

I'm sure he can get back up if he wanted to.
