Andrey has the same problem Larry had when he started

He can. It just takes time. Denis 2008 was bigger than Denis 2016, but Denis 2016 had table time experienece and stronger tendons from more "time" in the sport.

Andrey is a beast! I’ve never heard of anyone besides him doing one arm pull ups at over 100 kg of bodyweight. He’s not as big as the current armwrestling superheavyweights, but he’s a leviathan for the discipline he practises (calisthenics/streetlifting). Andrey’s way of training particularly strengthens the connective tissues making up his joints (tendons and ligaments), which are as important as muscle mass for armwrestling. For this reason, I think that Andrey could do even better than Larry Wheels, Leonidas Arkona, Kirill Sarychev, Brian Shaw and other monstrous gym guys who recently got interested in armwrestling. Of course, Andrey would need to focus on specific areas (cupping, rising, pronation…) and on technique as everybody else, but he’d progress more rapidly and he’d have much more endurance than his “web rivals” at the table.

He need time. His tendons and joints must be trained for armwrestling.

Would be nice to have Andrey in the sport!

I mean look at Larry. Within these two years he stuck with it and wanted to learn from the best and now he’s improving like crazy and actually pinning some good armwrestling during sparring practices. Andrey doesn’t have the money Larry has with traveling and meeting and bringing in all these top guys to his gym though but he is living in Russia where all the top guys are at. He just needs to move near a top armwrestling gym and go hard training with these guys for a good year and learn the best he can. but of course if he really wants to be in the sport of armwrestling

Nice vid man. 🙂 Could you please put the link of this Artyom Morozov interview ? 🙏

Andre smaev will be the world champion one day if he dedicated himself for arm wrestling and with a good coach cause he has all the genetics needed

Andrey smaev vs Larry wheels or andrey vs khaled

“It doesn’t concern to him be specific about nothing.” Bet

On video Smaev pull with Ivan Matushenko ,5-time world champion and very successful coach)

He lacks experience in competition and he's too kind. Smaev is a very humble and polite man. I don't know if he has the tenacity that's required on the table.

Y’all took the only clip of Ivan beating Andrey. If you watch the whole video Ivan was showing different ways to train tendons and exercise his weak points. Ivan made 2 videos, 1 table time and another training methods.

Who trained Brzenk?

Matyshenko is actually a very good coach. Moroz have probably seen a part of training out of context or something.

The thing is , Andrei is extremely talented and could be a world class , but it would take him at least 6 or 7 years to do so , now will he ever be enough motivated to do so is a different subject

Bro, with a back pressure that strong, if he had the table technique he would kill some competition

Andrey Smaev vs Leonidas Arkona would be cool

Look at it, His, Strong back pressure Strong pronator Strong grip He would be best suited for Toproll. I wish to see him more at higher level of armwrestling world.

He just needs table time. Totally agree with Morozov

Depends on all bicept to much. He needs to learn to use his body lock his arm and pull the body back sideways and down.

Andrey just needs more coaching and table time

Literally

Smaev should just focus on training with Denis. Having Valera as his sparring partner will definitely help as they're both new to the sport of armwrestling

He needs to pull. And I hope he does. He could be something special.

💯%

Just train with denis, easy peasy lemon squeeze

God level voice bro God level ❤

Guy just have fun... Wonder how he would get along with Brian Shaw and JujiMufu.

Morozov would be an awesome coach💪🏻💪🏻

👍👍

I’m pretty sure he just doesn’t want to compete. Dude just eat, sleeps, trains and hangs out with his family and friends and that’s about it

I definitely want Andrey on king of the table…. He’s so young he could be top 10 in 5-10 years if he practiced

Weights don't arm wrestle, he needs more table time. That's the only way to get better at arm wrestling, he's just lifting too much weight and it doesn't transfer to the table...

Ivan matyushenko is a beast.

Let the guy be. If he wanted he would've been competing already. He's just not interested. As long as he doesn't compete, he's not worth the discussion. Case closed.

You-need-the-arm-wrestling-machine.-it-actually-hurts-to-go-heavey-on-it.-its-the-angle.-it-gets-that-angel-stregth-stronger!

The first important for Andrey tobe worldclass arm Wrestling competision is good teacher not the stronger teacher but ,the teacher can motivasion you to be more motivasion for training everyday to you meet him not just pin you in Sparring table but can pin you you from every training arm ....Lol what the i am talking about 😐

looks like he has thin wrists despite all the muscle mass compare with other armwrestlers ...

I think you should ask ivan what the training was like and not judlst assume watching KZfaq video

Why he gotta talk shit about Ivan. If you see his videos with him you can see that he teaches him and tells him a lot of things. Also Ivan seems genuinely like a good guy.

He just needs time🦾

Doesn't Smaev have access to Denis? Or they live far from each other?

I wonder if it is inflammation in his arms. Armwrestling is not his primary goal and if he risks getting injured he is likely to just stop armwrestling and focus on his other goals.

I think Andrey is too shy to start competing, but he is around his 20s, right? When he grows older, he might be ready

He needs only more time and more table practice.

Actually he can but he pretended that the can't. Why? I think that's because he doesn't want to use 100% of his power. It was like he used only less than 50% of his power because he is too too strong so if he used his full power he would break his opponents' hand less than 1 second.

When you start getting better at the table you also, when working out, gets more technique involved in the movement, which leads to even more table strength. What I mean is, Table time + Heavy training = Winning formula

And then there is John Brzenk at 220 lbs

Andrey should obviosly go to somone like Dennis in order to become the best he can be. To go to somone who dosent want to give you a good fundemental understading of how to improve in the spoprt, is a waste of time. Get a propper coach

When Andre is forced to get off the juice will it really matter? He will shrink he'll become weaker and then he'll have a whole plateful of health problems...

Why would everyone armwrestle??? Why armwrestlers dont fight as good as they armwrestle?? ITs the same stupid logic

working out and juicing like crazy for a sport so small in the world. is mind numbing. 🤦🏻🤦🏻

смаев дохлый и мелкий он весит 105-110 макс 115 что то вроде дадикяна ну и зачем ему выступать в категории которая даром никому не нужна? все смотрят только абсолютку. тяжей ну и сравните смаева 105 против левана 185 ну цирк же и смаев 177 а леван 193 да смаев не дурак тот же валера из зала дениса огромный. больше смаева? уже 7 лет тренируется с денисом а что толку?? просто огромный лось весом 160 кг который проигрывает дадикяну который 95 от силы

What i think. I think there's too many damn steroids in the sport lol

he has no courage. he has no malice. he's a good man in the midst of bad men and he doesn't stand a chance.

no brain

hes what i consider ultra saiyan right now, a sayang thats big and strong but with no technique. He needs to ascend to the 2nd level of super sayaian currently hes a 1.5 super sayan, but as we all know goku (Devon) is almost at level 3, and Levan is a super sayan that has learend to transform in monkey form. Which makes him 100 fold stronger.

arm wrestling training has its drawbacks - it's a long recovery after them ... as Smaev said, he does not like this ... he is a sports fan and loves to train every day, so arm training is not suitable for him
