how to start armwrestling for beginners 

Finding the training partner who'd' want to share the armwrestling journey with you is the hardest part

I am not entirely certain Devon understands his t shirt

Your shirt game is off the charts champ 🏆🤣

We're a couple of guys from Sweden that just started the journey. One of us had a table that he built and now we just found a place to be. Started out as 3, now we're 7 in just 4 weeks! Thanks Devon, these kind of videos are just what we need!

People don’t understand how long it takes to get hair like that. People spend all sorts of money and time at a salon. That one there takes hours, maybe days to achieve. So underrated.

I have cured my elbow and bicep tendinitis many times with 50 rep sets. Thanks Devon!

As the sport grows and attracts more newcomers than ever, this kind of content is crucial. I hope all armwrestling content creators put more of these kinds of videos out there in addition to their regular coverage of the sport.

That Pankkakke shirt took me completely off guard with how perfect it is, there's so many layers to dig through!

Bro what is that shirt, I can’t look away. It’s hilarious, of all the possible shirts Devon could’ve worn to convey a convincing and serious message and he choses Pankakke lol. Never change Devon never change

Great video Devon, I'm 40yrs old and been in all sorts of sports my whole life, and a lot of people say that there aren't any sports left for my age group and I say I beg to differ. I started watching you and Monster and others a long time ago and decided that age is really just a number in Armwrestling. Watching you guys and videos like this are great inspiration and is much appreciated.

I started following you almost 3 years ago and because of you I really have learned to love the sport. Your so cool and down to earth man even though your larger than life. I'm rooting for you brother and thank you for the great beginner tips. Blessings!

I’m 22 and Just started my arm wresting journey 3 months ago doing all the exercises but it’s very weird coming from a powerlifting background also with 0 table experience I’ve been a huge fan of Devon since high school and I can’t wait to hopefully make it in the sport and pull him one day. PS kill levan Devon you got this brotha🤙

Post more training videos Devon!

Levan : devon absolutely training hard all day for our match Devon: makes begginers guide for arm wrestling😂 Thanks devon❤

Phenomenal video for all the new ppl trying to get a grasp on not just training but, getting better! I'd expect nothing less from the man who'll conquer Everest from base camp to summit. Stay strong and healthy brother.

I started getting interested in arm wrestling in 2019 and Devon was the guy I was paying attention to. So thank u man.

Your shirt, legendary. Much love Devon from London. I'm 31 and just getting training, my equipment is very basic and yeah I know it's late but the scene isn't massive over here and it's just picking up, wish I knew it was a sport lonnnnggg ago.

I took your tip and I’m going for the first time to my city’s only arm wrestling club next week. So exited!

Thanks for the video Devon. I have been watching for quite awhile. Going to my first club meeting this weekend! Looking forward to the journey! Thanks for all the videos, and being you. Best of luck in the future!

I'm only 16 and started watching you from 2020 became a ARMWRESTLING Fan watching you inspires me..😁 and helps me train for armwrestling you just make winning look so easy

Keep pushing man. On the road to being that #1 man. People in your field are gonna be jealous of your success. I mean he openly admitted it in one of the videos. Congrats on all the hard work paying off. Good luck

Most of the arm wrestlers I've met are just some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, and Devin is a prime example. The sportsmanship he, and a great deal of all the other pullers display time after time is unparalleled in competition. It takes guts to get up there and pull a guy like Devin, and with grace he lets you play the game and get a work out in without ripping your arm. You're great bud.

Final step : find a Gorilla like in the thumbnail to practice

Devon uncle I have been watching your videos since 2019 and you know what, I have learnt a lot about arm wrestling from you and have made my arm wrestling partners defeat with your teachings,techniques.And I love you a lot, you are my favourite amd the strongest arm wrestler in the world;and I am coming to meet you face to face and to learn from you as soon as possible.

Thanks Devon for the great advice and greetings from Germany! Always love to watch your videos, even my wife who is not really interested in armwrestling watches your videos! 💪😁

Thank you very much for the advices Devon. I'm starting on a small club soon at the age of 39 haha I'm really looking forward for it, getting into a new hobby. I've been follow armwrestling a few years now. And now it's time to change 💪😎

Hi Devon, I ll pray for your win against Levan. I m almost 32. I never did a sport but now I want to start arm wrestling and I m trying to convince some friend :) Please continue to spread this sport, I think in North India (especially in Punjab) we can find some hidden Diamond Thanks

The hair is looking gnarly, the shirt is hilarious and unexpected cameos from Jodi are always great! Oh and awesome content pertaining to what the video was actually about 😂…you’re the best man! 💪🏼🇨🇦

100% Thank you for this. People needed this.

Wow nice, made this question today on the armwrestling Facebook group and now this vídeo drops. Tnx Devon!

Can't wait to see you crush levan 💪 thank you for the tips too, you've literally inspired me to want to arm wrestling and you actually changed my opinion on the sport, going a two years back I look at this sport like it was nothing, and now I actually get it, some of my friends laugh at me but it's okay, I actually love arm wrestling thanks to you! Thank you so much Devon 💙

Love this guys energy on the table. For me he's right at the top of sports entertainment.

Great advice! I’m a little old now but I still want to arm wrestle! I’ll be 44 next month. I haven’t arm wrestled in a long long time but I used to be good at. Just doing at the bar when I was younger. Now it’s hard to find anyone that wants to arm wrestle.

Devon you know exactly what I'm looking for lol. Was literally thinking about starting training for armwrestling yesterday.

Good Advice

Brilliant video and great advice thanks man! 👍💪

Thank You Devon for this! Glad to hear advice and guidance from the sage!🤩

Finally. Lol been waiting for a video or information about starting. Thanks Devon

Been following you for about 2 years now and started training in my garage.Pulleys/dumbells simple stuff like that. Had no idea about the armbet app till now. Turns out there are a few people in NE Lincolnshire (UK) who are armwrestling. Unfortunately it seems like UK is not that much into the sport as Eastern Europe/USA/Canada...might be wrong. Thanks Devon and show your best against Levan. Muscle mass against experience,right? Can't wait for the match.

For elbow safety and safety from spiral fractures get to an angle that opens your bicep straightly while loosing and and keep your arm and shoulder in a straight line all the time especially while loosing / getting pinned

Thanks for the knowledge! 💪🏽

I love the thumbnail of you and Levan🤣

We have had 9 guys show up thanks to armbet! Almost a solid club and the sport is booming nation wide.

Devon a year ago: train your wrist, your pronation, cupping, hammer curls, whatever you can 2023 Devon: THUMB CURLS!

I gave The first like !!! 😎🥳 Much love from Romania ! 🇷🇴

This is great stuff devon thanks.

Thanks for the advice, great video!

Excellent video!....thanks for sharing this one

Hey Devon. Jedi Master...I just was Arm wrestling a fella that was 90lbs more than myself. He was 1st pull after my journey began 6months ago. ..I've been training ...properly and smartly... always try to get stronger. We eased into eachother ..and then it was on. ... I held up very well. Officially we weren't going for pins. We pulled full power ...he said ... I did. It was super motivating against a larger guy.

Great advice and thanks for sharing!

Thanks man really informative love it 💪

Thank you for always sharing your wisdom and secret sauce - you've had a tremendous impact on my life.

I actually learned a lot from watching you, bro. Quite a master at the table...and trying to catch up!

Love the T-shirt design Devon 😂

Great advice. I just snapped a 3/8 chain on my last pulley curl.

Loved this video and your shirt thank you for your knowledge

Bro his T-Shirt 💀

Thank you Devon for this valuable information.

Yoooo I was missing so much an video like this from you. Nice. Very nice.

That Pankakke shirt is EVERYTHINGGGG

Man I just love this dude.

arm wars was on free to air tv in australia, thanks for the tips your an inspiration

I love that you made sure to pet that dog every time he decided to make an appearance and a lap around you. Glad you have your priorities straight 😀

hi from Czech Devon and thx 4 this video!

U are best athlete in 2021 for me 💪🏻 Big fan

Although I'll never be an actual arm wrestler, I became a big fan after watching Over the Top (again) when I was a young teen (early 90s). After shattering my wrist at 12yrs old and again in Highschool, I began searching for wrist exercises to help with mobility. Arm Wrestling exercises gave the best results by far. I'm 150lbs (5"9) and drag a 150lbs hose for a living. These exercises I've learned and honed by watching professional arm wrestlers including Devons oldest videos here have made me a machine. The Moral is, these exercises are definitely for more than just arm wrestling. What started as rehab has ended up being a life saver in my career.

Thank you for the awesome video

Thsnk you JEDI Master... for what you do not know for me. I listen and immerse myself in your lessons.

To grow the sport, every pro arm wrestler on RU-vid should make a vid like this

Great advice Devon. A fan

I just made my second armwrestling table. It’s an arm sumo / freedom style table with pegs though, so it’s kind of a Frankenstein build. But the first one I built was a learning experience. As someone who can’t armwrestle other people a lot because the lack of club and my friends aren’t necessarily interested. My best exposure I’ve had is armwrestling all the personal trainers at my job. (I work at a huge gymnasium as a technician/handyman so whenever I talk to some of the guys and girls who are PT there we have a go at it.) Also some of my coworkers in my job are freakishly strong so we always armwreslte in the back as well. They pretty much know me as the young guy who has bigger than average forearms and is always looking to armwrestle someone. I’ve been trying to start a club at my University where I attended classes, but the process requires you to have 10+ people with designated positions such as Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Sponsor, etc. etc. Which is kind of ridiculous. But I’m looking forward to going back to Martial Art Club (my first sport I practiced and still practice, and see if they let me have a mini ‘seminar’ or showcase of armwrestling.) I’ve been practicing armwrestling for about 3 years, but with really only a small fraction of it being actual table time sadly. Most of it is just the strength building exercises your average armwrestler would do and pulling some of your coworkers and friends. I guess the whole reason I wrote this is because I really won’t let anything stop me from trying to be involved with the community. And nothing should stop anyone else from being a part of the community. Get a judo belt and loop some weights through it, get some grippers , make a table, bring it up to your friends and family, watch all the videos you can, and most of all be safe so you can do it for a long time.

Saved. Thanks Devon

Devon WIN OR LOSS has given more to this sport than anyone!!!

Fantastic video Devon. 1 workout a week is vital info for us new comers. I know my top forearm for back pressure kills me after a session of 4-6 serious matches. Any tips?

Bro, it took me a minute to actually figure out what his t-shirt was 🤣 I NEED that!!!

Looking extra fresh today Devon

Great vid

Devon, looking YOUNG!

good video, thanks for insight

Thank you,this is exactly qhat i needed,gives ne the basics

I love the dog just walking around in the background

Nice guy this one. Bright future in armwrestling ahead of him.

Bro, that lighting, that hair, and those blue eyes... You just leveled up again!! The Goku of arm wrestling. 😆 Also, thanks for the advice!

I’ve been watching the sport for a couple years now but last night I just downloaded arm bet for the first time to try to find people to practice with. Last time I arm wrestled was like eight years ago with my big brother lol

Never pressed on a notification faster in my left. LETS GOOOOO

Awesome Devon The G.O.A.T. Definitely voice of the sport

Thanks for this

I just started training a couple weeks ago after watching for a year. You're lucky I didn't start earlier

I would truly want to know about your Armwrestling Camp! Come on man. Once there is an opening I would be there.

Thank you!
