I can't imagine how it must have felt 4:02 What an honour to be able to highfive john

Now that I got to watch this please take it down before more ppl learn the secret 🤐

John is actually the G.O.A.T. 🐐

All fingers are important for armwrestling. But training the thumb is harder compared to other fingers with conventional exercises. That's why the thumb is left out. Strong pinky and ring finger is super important for hook pullers. Thumb and index finger is super important for toprollers.

Please, please keep up doing these long videos!! They're amazing, thanks for your work. Greetings from Germany!

I remember all the talks about John's thumb and pronating through the thumb so it has been in my secret training list for a while. Don't understand why it became so popular only recently.

that's why devon started thumb training

damn a 10 minute master-piece, great job man!

I really enjoy these longer informative videos keep up the good work!

Love the longer format videos

devon larratt watching this video before genadi lol

Coach John Brzenk still have a super strong hand at his age now💪

Great video Devon makes these little exercises enjoyable he's hilarious. My co workers think I'm a lunatic because I walk around squeezing my ring lol

Another banger of a video, keep it up man!

Cool to see longer videos from you brotha! 💪💪

I live off of Wolf Canyon... John Brzenk is our neighbor

Big thumbs up for making this vid.

OMG long video again haha love it

Importance of thumb will increase in the sport . Devon injected stem cells in his thumb.

G.O.A.T. : Greatest Of All Thumbs!!!

About a year ago, inspired by that video you included here, I bought one of these forearm rings and cuz I work a desk job and have down time at moments and I just pump my thumb like in the video, all day every day, no consistent reps, sets or rests, just at random when I don't have anything particular to do, and I gotta say, people that used to be able to hold my hand comfortably, now when I close my thumb say that it's either really hard to contain my pronation or they just feel powerless from the very start. It really works, buts you cant just rely on the thumb alone, you have to have every other base strength to go with it imho

Excelente video, gracias amigo!

Long format videos have been a killer!

arm wrestling someone weaker using two arms against you is really good

Awesome video

dennis looks like an actual monster

Shhhh dont tell gnadi 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great point!! As Devon says pronation comes through your thumb.

The only video I saw him doing this was with a stress ball not a ring like that... Are you sure you saw him with this rubber thing ?

Make a video on how to do a “can opener”

The thumb helps his cup strength because it gives him a large leverage advantage

Great video 💪

My uncle was a lumberjack all his life, no one could beat him even as an old man.

The goat 🐐

Now I know why my left hand is stronger than my right hand because I do the static hold with stronger than me thanks for this video now I will apply this to my right hand

His secret exercise, is not an exercise. Its favorable genetics.

The 2 hand then 1 hand training is like doing drop sets w/weights. Do them both!

Can you make a video about Toddzilla's speed days? For me it's also a kind of unpopular but great training. I also saw smth similar in the Allen Fisher's video when he applied some sudden and quick pressure on his joints.

I'm skinny as fuck, but my thumb muscles are massive, people always ask if I have an injury because they look swollen, guessing it comes from a mixture of hobbies and work, my job requires good clamping force and grip, and my hobbies of mountain biking, which involves digging the trails and I also do some climbing. Maybe I should man up and join a local AW club, scared of injuries though.

good explanation bro

Wanna get the girls?? Gotta get that thumb right 💯

Here is my small thumbs up 👍👍👍👍

At first, because of the preview, it seemed to me that he was holding a mug

One of the number 1 exercise for arm wrestling is pull ups, 1 or 2 sets of hammer curls and 1 set of arm curls for 20 to 50 reps. I Also would work out on a arm wrestling machine like Travis B. back in the good old days! God bless!

I've never arm wrestled. Never watched an event in person. Still, if anybody asked me who was the most dominant athlete of all time. John's name is top of my list.

3:20 ahh thats the closeline Eric was telling them not to film in the video with bowen, interesting, i had a feeling it would be something like this setup are those converyour belt cylinders holding the nylon rope ?

Jon💪👍👍👍

Yea I think he had it on his IG story one time a couple years ago. But I think he would use either a tennis ball or egg shaped thing and just do tons of reps with his thumb.

devon is rolling on his sofa watching this

Жон маладец 💪💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Man I can't wait till I get a beard and tattoos I'll be real strong.

That thumb is heavenly

I think his thumb is one unique part of his arsenal. I think the most unique part of his arsenal is how is childhood forearm injury healed and allowed him to later on catch people in hooks or posts, way above his weight class. I don’t think the 2009 Cyplekpv super match would have looked so dominant had John Brzenk not grown this type of arm-lock, if you will, among many other matches of course.

G. O. A. T

Same for me. My bicep and thumb is most important. This is something I think Ermez lacks. A good thumb

I wonder how long kot takes for Devon

I remember that video John had on his KZfaq channel, he was in his office and “joke” about the best excercise for armwrestling , he was using a yellow stress ball, pressing it only with his thumb! I wonder why he deleted it!!!

Make sense!

5:30 what was the name of this tool ?? 🙄🤔🤔

Great video 😅

I used to play travel basketball with this kid who was only like 5’8” 160lbs, his hands were average size but his thumbs were ridiculous in comparison. They looked like Denis’ thumbs honestly, just on a much smaller frame lol.

I remember seeing this video, I bought a stress ball right away and it seems like it's working Maybe the video was deleted because it was filmed at his job? He was in a camera security room

Pro tip: Get a heavy duty spray bottle (thumb pressed) to moisten your plants with.

3:58 here it is. Its his thumb (training)

HE WAS PAST HIS PROME THERE

I swear only in armwrestling you can have someone like John who is almost 60 having monsters like Irakli redline, he had to pull out a press to beat him because Irakli’s hand had nothing on Johns.

And he isnt all juiced up

I came to this by myself 😮

John's thumb is huge because he turns wrenches for a living

Let’s train the thumb

So I just need to smash my thumb before hand 😁

I still don't call that arm wrestling, the only body part moving should be your lower arm not your upper body

Shcok the nervous sustem

JUST GET THE SABIN PRONATOR AND YOUR GOOD! I SUGGEST A LIGHT AND HEAVY ONE FOR MORE VERSATILITY. 100% ALL U NEED!

Thomb

Hope you do one on Denis

Se on pöytäharjottelua lähinnä

Lmao You're almost a year late. I know exactly what it is and it's not the rubber ring. It's a forward pressure with the thumb, then a squeezing pressure Repeat x5:00

In my opinion its cheating if you are hanging using your whole bodyweight. This isnt armwrestling lol.

Boring

Legendary

Джон скурвился
