Larry looks like he's worked for everything he has and the kid looks like he was born with it. Exactly that.....in terms of pure strength and not technical ability or knowledge arm wrestling at that level is about connections and how well you can mentally and physically connect power and transfer it through your hand......that lad has phenomenal tendon strength,the type of tendon strength you can trust at full on red line effort.....arm wrestling is about how strong you are...bodybuilding is about how strong it looks like you are. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He,s been around about 4 months and is expected to compete at world level within a year. Lots of chaps have come along like him over the years and not reached their full potential either through injury or motivation.....the money is just not there for the level of dedication required to become more than just a strong arm wrestler......that said, he is an outstanding prospect.

king 11,687 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 It’s quite impressive how the wrist can take that sort of pressure through it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Devon says it's unreal how good he is in such a short space of time, saying he's already at a top pro level. Apparently he's never worked out in his life, I know some folk have good genetics but looking at the size of him I question that. It's not as though he's been found in the jungle, he was living in Dubai so would have had access to some of the best gyms in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Table time will be a big factor with someone like that.....plenty of ridiculously strong people can arm wrestle and win matches.....but to be a pro arm wrestler in todays times takes so much more than horse power.....is he willing to pay to travel the world pulling across different tables against different styles in order to gain the knowledge and experience it takes to pull a Michael Todd or Devon over 5 gruelling rounds......injuries is a huge part of the sport as well,how does his body respond to the wear and tear of constant torque.....its very early days for him but the way he controls his frame is more advanced pulling than his experience suggests...and thats without his physical gifts !

DIDO.1 21,313 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 @gnasher16 didn't know you were into arm wrestling. Do you know a bloke called Shawn deacon, think he was a UK champion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I read a few week ago that it looks like Denis is out for good, his doctors have advised him not to take part in any contests.

Larry got smoked big time didn't he, tbh that newbie hammers him as well. Larry is a machine in his own right and will hold a few weight lifting world records when he's finished, seems a top bloke too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
