Not sure if this Devon could win 2018 Cyplenkov, but would have been amazing. Anyway, for me Breznk and Larrat are Legends. Cyplenkov never will be one for me, asumimg he is a chemical reactor.

Speaking of exercises, I also like to do pinch grip exercises because they thicken the base of your thumb which is good for toprolling and making the guy harder to grip around your hand. It's also helpful when in a finger pull (or thumb pull or whatever, the moment when both are toprolling and about to slip). Also, never intentionally give up your wrist curl unless you have really strong tricep press or side pressure that can isolate the guy's bicep.

Also, does it hurt near the elbow tendon of the bicep? or close to the shoulder tendon? the muscle belly in the middle itself? Can you tell whether it's the outer bicep that hurts or the inner one?

Devon is definitely one of my favorite pullers of all time, and it goes without saying he was at his very best right here, in terms of strength and confidence. But John the 🐐 will always be #1. As for the match , every champion has a period of time when they're simply unbeatable. And this was "No limits " time. Even though he convincingly beat John here, what makes John the GOAT... is he went on to beat Larratt at a later date. What makes that so incredible is usually when a former champ loses his reign , they seldom regain any high status again. They get older, they have too many injuries and there's always a new young strong challenger waiting in the wings. But John Brzenk is NO ordinary Champ. Lol Even to this very day , at an age most wouldn't even consider competing , nevermind dominating, John is still a force. Especially in his weight group. Had the Top 8 happened as scheduled, it would not have surprised anyone if John won it all ...or finished top 3. And considering he would be pulling the best in the World, who are all about Half his age, that's why he is the Goat. Everybody already knows how "Prime" John Brzenk handled his business in ALL weight groups but what makes John the undisputed GOAT is his longevity in the sport. Unmatched by anyone. With that said, this video is all Devon and he was a beast when on top. Both hands. Great video...

Does it hurt even when you're doing nothing? Or just when you armwrestle or lift something with your bicep? I'm not a therapist but ya definitely rest and constant massage. Cuz pulling without getting fully recovered will let the injury persist (prevent from being fully healed) and might make it chronic like in the case of Brzenk.

You've got it backwards. longer arms are a disadvantage in armwrestling. Thats a scientific fact. Even john has said that before in a written interview. Shorter length arms are better leverage. Which makes devon even more of a monster considering he's ranked #1
@Zjcreel78 жыл бұрын
trashbash2001 Actually its not a disadvantage. There are advantages and disadvantages to both in terms of leverage. In this match for example, when you get set up like Larratt is with a higher hand, the match is basically over if you have good back pressure to go along with it.

It really depends on what technique you use as well. Longer arms have an advantage with the top rolls, as opposed to shorter arms which have a better chance with the hook.

In this match I think John's wrist was in a horrible condition. You can see he is applying pressures in right directions but can't budge Devon.This is not to take away from Devon's victory because he is the best RH puller in the world right now. However, remember the lighter version of John who pushed Devon to the limits in practice before the Arsen match. That John if I recall correctly was lighter than John here but was relatively injury free. So imagine heavier, injury free Brzenk vs Devon.
@backpressure12312 жыл бұрын
one other case I haven't mentioned but can hurt your elbow is when your opponent lets up when you're about to beat him. It's the same as guys slipping with full force. When your opponent lets up when he's about to lose then it's better not to keep the high sidepressure.
@backpressure12312 жыл бұрын
And oh ya I forgot to tell u when I was explaining rotation that bicep also does supination movement (turning hand palm up) other than just elbow flexing. There is other supinator muscle inside your outer forearm (radius area) near the elbow under wrist extensors and brachioradialis (the muscle that starts under thumb goes all the way up to humerous).

Heavy grippers are good to increase toproll strength. But I would do hanging on a thick bar as long as you can, do heavy deads with fat grips, and also do pinch grips by lifting a plate (for toproll vs toproll battles). The problem with grippers is that they don't mimic a person's hand. There is a concept called finger pressure which is basically what you get from working with thick, flat handles rather than thin ones.

So to summarize, short forearm/hand is only at advantage when the long forearm/hand guy lets the short guy grab him high by keeping his own knuckles low. (Because when tall forearmed guy keep his knusckles up and grips high, the short forearmed guy is forced to grip low no matter how much he himself posts his knuckles up due to arm height difference). The short armed guy can move his elbow to the front of the pad to compensate for it, (to make his arm taller by being more vertical).

When doing wrist curls, you can adjust the weight in such a way that you can train either your pinky side of your wrist or thumb side of your wrist. When doing dumbbell wrist curls, take a bench that is about 40 cm high and kneel down and then when you tuck in your elbow to the left side as possible (when you're wrist curling right handed) then it trains your pinky side of the wrist and when you do it normally it would stress the thumb side more.

This was the handing over the crown moment, Brzenk realized he was up against someone just as technical as him but a bigger stronger version. Devon was injury free and v strong here no doubt but i don't think this Devon beats the Devon that beat Todd recently. Despite the change in style due to injuries. Todays version of Devon is beastly, i don't think this old version of Devon would hang with the E Europeans of today.

And to speed up the elbow recovery I find pronation supination movement helpful, just with your bare hands just turn it palm up palm down with either a closed or open hand. When you do tricep press, or use downpressure through pinky in a drag hook, or use sidepressure when you try to finish your opponent are the moments you are likely to injure your elbow. I personally find backpressure the safest way to armwrestle.

Also I find that once u set the deep hook, the hand size and strength doesn't matter much and it becomes a contest of arm strength because your hand is protected. It's much harder to roll out into an already cupped in wrist than a straight wrist at the beginning. But if the tall forearmed, large handed guy doesn't keep his knuckles high then posting toproll can also work against his lowered fingers.
