AMERICA'S BIGGEST ARM WRESTLER TEACHES ME HIS SECRETS! 

Follow Derek! RU-vid- ru-vid.com Instagram- instagram.com/awderek/?hl=en

It was my pleasure hanging with ya and showing you what I know! You have crazy potential for Arm Wrestling!

Brian's desire to learn and his ability to comprehend everything Derek is saying is exactly why Brian is one of the greatest athletes of all time.

Watching two huge men holding hands for 40 minutes was very wholesome 10/10

Brian is asking all the right questions. He’s a very intelligent guy naturally and knows how the body works. I think he’s gonna catch on very quick if he dedicates to it.

A non-strongman making Brian look normal size is a rare sight

Wow, Brian training arm wrestling is an exciting prospect. I hope he keeps at it. You can be pretty amazing at arm wrestling even later in life.

Derek is one heckuva a communicator/teacher. I learned more in 20 minutes watching this than i have any MANY, MANY other videos. This video should be watched by all people wanting to learn more about arm wrestling. He is explained things so well

Brian has unlimited potential for arm wrestling tbh, a good learner aswell nice

Brian going to arm wrestling is insane! He’s going to shock everyone keep it up sir!

When Derek grabs ahold of Brian and is like “whoa I can just feel the power/muscle mass” that is a terrifying feeling if you’ve ever felt it.

🔥💪👏

Derek is a humble amazing person. Good friend of mine and has tought me so much about the sport! Amazing calab and perfect for the sport 👌

This guy's personality and demeanor fit so perfectly with Brian's along with just generally good charisma. What a great colab, and I don't even like arm wrestling.

Brian is so technical and cerebral, especially for a physical freak of nature lol. Even in strongman hes methodical and super sound fundamentally and technically. If he focuses on arm wrestling he'll be a ridiculous puller.

BRIAN VS LEVAN I NEED TO KNOW

Arm Wrestling has been getting popular lately especially with Larry Wheels hyping it up. Schoolboy, Devon Larratt, Michael Todd, love watching them.

This is it! The content we've been waiting for! Brian Shaw armwrestling! Finally!

I WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED FOR THIS COLAB. I've been following you for a while Brian through your journey in wsm since 2018, I always admired your analytical mind and attention to detail and your awesome attitude to strength training and sports and professionalism and everything in between. Ever since I heard of this colab and even heard of talks of you armwrestling i've been waiting for this day and I'm really glad Derek of all people was able to expose you to armwrestling man. Hope you love it and hope you stick around brother!

I've been a fan of Brian Shaw and been into arm wrestling for a long time and to finally see the two come together is the best thing ever! Couldn't wait for this and cant wait to see more! I hope you stick with this Brian, would be awesome to follow your journey into arm wrestling.

Derek Smith is really great guy overall. Humble and have good vibe.

BRIAN, PLEASE START ARMWRESTLING, WE BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

Brian, you should collaborate with Devon Larratt. You'll learn so much about Arm Wrestling from him!

Hearing Brian mention Magnus Samuelsson really means a lot to me. Two of my biggest inspirations

The first 3 things i tell newbies is in order: 1. Stance 2. How to lose by opening their arm (so they dont use sidepressure in first practice) and pin using your body 3. Tell them to use wrist flexion & pronation Always let them pin you in the beginning so they dont try to go other lanes like press After that go into Techniques (First Toproll then Hook) and the setup for each

Brian it only gets more fun the more you learn. I would really love to see you in the sport

Derek is a great dude and a real rising star in armwrestling! Excited to see you guys collab!!

💪💪💪💥💥💥 WELCOME TO THE SPORT CHAMP!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆 I have no doubt you will crush the competition in no time. Keep up the great progress, can't wait to see more!

Been following Brian and armwrestling for close to 5 years now. I'm so excited to see what Brian can accomplish. Thank you Derek.

A 40+ minute Brian Shaw vid? Talk about a Friday gift.

I am so stoked your training we need you to beat Levan

So encouraged by this Brian!! Love Derek & Armwrestling! Hoping you can get into the sport more.

Amazing how much technique is involved here.

Love it! And very excited to see you dabbling in it and hope you turn this into the 2nd chapter of your career.

Starting arm wrestling 2 years ago…this One of the best explanations/tutorials of how to arm wrestle Ive ever seen..there is soooo much more to it than people realize… awesome job Derek/Brian!! 👊🏼 👊🏼 👊🏼 hope Brian sticks with it!!!

This is one of the best and clearest explanations of armwrestling technique! Derek is such a great teacher and Brian makes a very humble and fast learning student. LOVE IT

Never thought arm wrestling was so technical. This guy is a beast! Makes Brian look average! Two humble athletes at the top of their sports, got to love it!

A 42 min Shaw strength video! Wow we’re lucky

Brian shaw joining the armwrestling community is FRIGGIN AMAZING im so glad this collab is happening!!

1:06 “Next time you see Eddie, you just dust him.” 🤣

Hell yeah. Armwrestling has been waiting for this for a long time 💪🏼

This is so awesome!!! Brian is super strong and Derek is a great teacher 💯🙌🙌

AW is the future tbh. There is no other strength sport that people can be competitive at 50 years+ of age

OMG I love this. The fact that Brian is excited about Arm Wrestling is awesome. Derek did such a great job trainnng Brian. So cool!!

two of the nicest and biggest guys in their respective sports! Brian please get into armwrestling!!

Good job, guys. Been waiting for so long to have some of the strongman guys blend in more to this sport. And who better than Big B to bring exposure to the sport of arm wrestling for strongman fans, and to the sport of strongman for arm wrestling fans! This was a great idea, Derek, well done.

Awesome! So glad to see you getting into armwrestling. Derek is the perfect person for you to team up with. Excellent choice!

I love this video. Brian is such a cool and humble guy. And Derek is an amazing teacher. I probably learned more about arm wrestling from this one video than I have watching hundreds of videos in the past.

42 mins of awesomeness 😁🤣💪🙌😎 can't wait to see this great video, of two great guy's!!!!

Awesome to see any type of crossover between strength sports! It would be interesting to see a guy like Brian try some different sports like Olympic lifting or even the Highland games just to see how they would go for fun!

Loved this. Good job Derek you are a wonderful teacher. Do it Brian!

i'll be coming back to this and devon's gym videos for years. so much concise knowledge and experience here

That's lots of technique and general strategy behind something as crude as arm wrestling, I've certainly started thinking about this sport a whole lot differently. Love Shaw... always the student of physical excellence.

Damn! This is awesome! Brian will be a monster, big ups to Derek!

Please show Derek some love y’all! Shoot him a follow. Hes hella strong and seasoned AW. He’s gone through a rough patch in the AW world. He deserves all the love

Brian in armwrestling would be a dream come true!💪

Brian in armwrestling would be a natural!! Awesome collab, have Derek back! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

1: Derek's a great teacher! I really enjoyed this. Derek is a great teacher and he doesn't rush thing and leave you confused and trying to catch up on principles that he only glossed over. He actually gets you to understand it and doesn't interrupt your questions so you have time to think and work out what's bothering you. 2:Brian is gonna be amazing at this! I like Larry wheels but he's really impatient and can't wait to just use all his power on everything without taking the time to break it down and understand the details. I feel like Brian has a mind that will figure out every part of this thing and because of that his progress is gonna be so fast. Because he already has the strength, that's not something that's gonna be holding him back much, but because he has a sharp and deductive mind, he's not 'muscling' as much as others would. He's figuring it out and giving himself time and that's so much fun to see. He'll be crushing people really soon!

You guys are great working together. Awesome coaching Derek! Brian is a quick learner.

I like how quickly Brian picks up the techniques, also helps the instructor is really gifted at explaining the concepts. Would love to see Brian compete when he's ready, he'd be an absolute beast!

YES, been looking forward to this since the BTS snippets on Derek's channel!!

Amazing video! Derek is awesome, great communicator. Brian, please get in to armwrestling!!!

My boy Derek, so happy to see you both together. Also been watching Brian for many years.

Man, this is special. Amazing stuff both Brian and Derek. Really hope you stick with it Brian.

Such a huge difference between Brian's questions and interaction with Derek, and Larry Wheels bored nodding when he had the best talent trying to teach him their ways! As a strongman rather than a glorified gymrat, Brian is focusing on the "movement", he wants to move like Derek does, rather than muscle his way out. he isn't in a hurry to showcase his strength. Usually when you get a "gym strong" heavier guy into a dojo, he keeps trying to muscle his way out of positions rather than learn to move correctly.

This is incredibly exiting for me. One of my favourite athletes since I was a teenager that is now learning the art of my favourite sport.

What a great video!! Thanks both of You!!

Derek is awesome. It was very informative to really listen to all the different techniques in arm wrestling. He is a great teacher and I can see that Brian followed it very well. Thanks to you two for this video.

I knew this vid was coming, but 42 minutes?!?! Damn what a gift!

Great video, lessons from Derek was easy to watch and learn and good vibes🤙🏾

Love Derek! This is the kind of guy that will DESTROY YOU while still coaching you on how to win... love it!

Derek is such a good teacher, he explains fundamentals and easy to learn so well. Amazing video, looking forward for next one

Wow. This was interesting. I never knew there was so much to learn in arm wrestling. I really enjoyed this presentation. Thanks guy's.

Extremely informative video. I loved it. I haven't learned that much from any other one arm wrestling video.

Just followed Derek. I’m a strength coach, I appreciate knowledge of anatomy, I also love learning about arm wrestling. Best instructor I have ever heard. Derek, amazing articulation of the principals of arm wrestling. You are a very good teacher.

If Brian gets into Armwrestling, he will be a force to be reckoned with

Great video. Hope to see Derek more often on the channel :D

Love seeing Shaw step into this world and have such a great teacher. Let's Go!!!

Love the collab! Derek is a great guy!

MAKE THIS A SERIES! GREAT STUFF!

I'm beyond excited to see you get involved in arm wrestling!!!

This was an extremely fun watch. Derek is the man. Did an amazingly clear job of explaining the process.

This deserves a like before i even watch it because i can't wait to see you get into armwrestling, and i saw some from Derek's channel

Awesome to see these 2 giants on the table. Derek is probably the best trainer for him and I think Brian would be perfect for the sport. Then to practice with Devon and Michael for their different styles. This would be the best way to determine weather or not he wants to give arm wrestling a real try. I really want to see this happen!

Derek break it down so well. You can tell he has spent the hours trying to work it out for himself 👏

One of the best vids to ptoperly understand strats vs strength gj both, awesome dudes 💪

Derek 100% right to focus on backpressure and avoid pressing. But damn, if Brian learned an explosive shoulder press coming almost right at you that would be scary as hell.

Wtf this dude actually does not look small next to Brian, thats extremly rare to see!

This was a really good intro to the basics of arm wrestling. The way Derek explained the basic strategies and mechanics was really informative.

Great Stuff Shaw you are doing so good in life with Podcast, Competing, Kids, Family man life is awesome! Keep it up man huge inspiration!

THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! :D

42 minutes of Brian Shaw… hell yeah!

Great job Derek!. Exciting to see Brian trying armwrestling!. We've seen normal strength is not everything in armwrestling watching Larry but.. we all know Brian is highly motivated and discipline in everything he want to achieve. Very exciting!!!

Thank you, Brian Shaw, for giving this sport your attention. You were the first person I watched that got me into exercise, and later into strongman. Now, as my hobbies have expanded into powerlifting and armwrestling, it gives me so much joy to see you here, growing, learning, and giving a new sport a chance. It makes me happy beyond words.

Derek seems like a great guy!

I can already tell that Brian has the muscle connections, size, and intelligence to be extremely good at armwrestling. I really hope he dives into the sport, its getting more popular and bigger than ever, you can make real money at the high end, and you can compete into old age.

Great video. Derek is a very good teacher. Brian couldnt have picked a better guy to try and learn since they are similar in size. I hope Brian really gets interested in armwrestleing. Its my favorite sport to watch. Brian could level up quick with they way he is dedicated to whatever he does.

awesome to see Derek Smith with Brian Shaw!! Never thought I'd see that!

Yes Brian, we need you in armwrestling!!!

I think this really shows how good of a student Brian is. He soaked up this training incredibly fast.
