Brian is one of the strongest human being who ever lived. He touches the human limit in many ways. Biceps, triceps, grip, back, weight... but AW has some specifics he doesn't have. You can try to simulate those angles on the gym, but the better way to do it is practicing and time is against him.
@@GuzQuebec Strongman transfers over pretty well to arm wrestling though. When you really think about it there many strongman events that require you to be strong in similar positions to arm wrestling. I don’t think it will take as long as people think. One of his best events was stones for example which I would think would transfer over to the table pretty well. Many of the carries are putting your hands and wrists in similar position to arm wrestling as well. Obviously pressing would transfer over really well in press and he’s already got tons of back and side pressure I’m sure
@@GuzQuebec I don’t think most strongmen have cared to go Into arm wrestling. When you’re that strong all around it doesn’t make sense to go into a sport where you have to be strong in very specific movements. At that point you’re putting so much strength to waste. Now that arm wrestling is becoming more mainstream I bet we start to see it more and more often. In my opinion strength athletes likes Brian coming into the sport are going to set a much higher ceiling. I can only speak on my experience going from strongman to arm wrestling and holding my own right away with people who had been arm wrestling specific for years. Obviously much different at the highest level but there is a lot of carry over. Skill matters of course and he can work on that pretty quickly with the great trainers and mentors that are available to him. Even so skill can only do so much to stop raw force. Take Levan and Devon for example
Give it more time man. Don’t want to rush him. If he just chills out he can be top of the elite in a couple of years far less risk and foolishness. Don’t Francis Ngannou him
Derek didn't want Brian to do that to him here press him. So said 3 years lol And of course for now they are going to keep it low key when the camera is a rolling. When it comes to comments about Brian's true ability right now.
Of course, but look at Ermes vs Levan. Everything is important, but as soon as you stop someone, you need strength to hold. Something Devon didn't had for an example
The thing with brian is , when he sets his mind to something he almost makes it an absolute science to learn as much and correctly ss he can. If brian keeps going into the arm wrestling world, he will become a force that we might have never seen before ..
Brian is such a genetic monster, just seeing how he pulled his way through the whole coaching team and at the end they all look burnt out and tired and he's all peppy and excited! 😂 If he keeps training and getting experience he's gonna be a force to be reckoned within no time at all. Once he gets a few more fundamentals locked in I could see him dominating at amatuer competitions, and once he knows his style, polishes it and gets good at countering various strategies/ making his own transitions, he can come for whoever he wants and they'll have to take it seriously.
These guys aint ever faced a well trained, 4 X WSM as well as one of the strongest men to walk the planet...hes gonna be breaking peoples arms off when he starts
your right ... if brian pulls the oponents hand over the middle and the move into press feels natural to him I would let him train it. if brian has a secure press position with his weight and triceps strength Im not so sure there are many people out there who can hold on to that for longer than 5 seconds
I think he's strong ,but he needs to be careful pulling great heavyweight people at this moment. He needs to concentrate on techniques, or he could have some serious long-term injuries to contend with .like Devan and Michael Todd .he needs 1 on one coaching with 1 coach only if he wishes to be a contender. All this going from one person to another is not leaving room for his own style .god bless 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪 💪
Levans lower body is way under developed, actually his hip size is cartoonishly small. He's got soft chest and a lot of belly fat. Shaw meanwhile is muscular everywhere and 50lbs heavier with that weight being more muscle mass anyway. Not even comparable, shaw beats the breaks off him.
Come on, i think brian has a shot agaisnt levan in a few years, but these commentors need to know this clip doesnt show us much in terms of brians power agaisnt derek. Alot of people say how practice pulls mean nothing, does this not apply here as well? Especially considering this is an experienced armwrestler here, (although, one that cant compete with the elites...) vs someone whos only a few months in. The goal is to motivate brian so he can eventually reach a point where he can beat levan. In practice pulls i dont even look at an armwrestlers face to guage their strength, we cant assume based on dereks face alone that he was going 100% as some people believe in these comments
strongmen don't have strong biceps/brachialis coz they don't need them in strongmen events. so his backpressure won't be stronger. remember 'strongman' is a title not a description. of course they're strong but powerlifting is a better measure of strength not lifting planks for 25 metres
Good question, it’s so he doesn’t become a one trick pony and he has a good base to build off of, in my opinion this a good way to learn your style in arm wrestling. Remember Brian is still new he needs a good foundation of basic techniques in the different styles of arm wrestling.
The delusions of grandeur is crazy with y’all if you think brian can beat levan. Brian could train for years and STILL wouldn’t have a chance to beat levan.
@khabeesschool9919 Strong isn't completely the right word for arm wrestling. You have to have the skill for sure and raw strength is also valuable. What catches weight lifters out is tendon and ligament integrity. No point having 1000hp if the driveshaft is rated at 250hp. Weightlifting is using wrist straps on a bar. Strongman is picking up a huge irregular stone up to your chest and walking with it as far as you can go. It will take Brian couple years to gain the strength and skills to start chipping at the big boys.
