John Brzenk goes explains some techniques in armwrestling and shows you how they are done. This was my first time using transitions so the ones I've picked may be absolute rubbish like...
You learned the wrong thing though. You're NOT allowed to "get behind your hand as far as you can" as Brzenk put it, because you're not allowed to cross the center with your shoulder.
the bit about pushing with your tricep is totally false. It's a body movement. You can even see him here using his core and pushing the body behind the arm to win - not using his tricep but his core. He does it right but he describes it totally wrong. He also ends up too far under the table after one of those moves... Though he still shows the basic moves pretty well. It is amazing how long people will talk for without teaching shit. Devon spends 3 hours and doesn't teach you how to even top roll in that time lmfao. I think he wanted people to call him back on a regular basis to hear another single piece of advice given in 3 hours. But people didn't bite. AFter the first shit show they didn't want him back :P
So in the dragging hook, you set the hook (wrist curl with supination), then you drag him out with your wrist still curled, but using your pronator giving you also full access to your brachii and brachioradialis full power to make him go down to the pad right?
@@nvmffs what are you smoking? John beat Denis easily back in the day, so how can Denis be of all time? Yeah Denis hadn't finished taking his nuclear steroids yet, but Denis was still twice his size, and John wrecked him. You got alot to learn about what it takes to be called the greatest of all time. No arm wrestler has achieved the same records as John over the same time span. None.
I looked for videos when I started almost 15 years ago and have never seen this. Great clip...where did you get it? Edit: OK I see it's 9 years old...still. Great find.
Devon Larratt had a video about side pressure. He says he's tried to train it and do it, but it puts too much stress on the elbow ligaments and they get inflamed.
@@saintofconsequence can you link me to that position ? Isn't every move in armwresling have some side pressure in it ? The sweep only removes the hand moving...
It's an advanced technique. like the flop press and king's move, if you go for it ill prepared the risk of injury is probably higher than a standard hook or toproll. The flop press tends to be like this for a lot of people, too. Devon said training side pressure specifically lead to injury, but he finds he doesn't really need to train it directly as he still improves from other training and he can rely more heavily on direct side pressure if he does need to. He just doesn't rely on it as his primary weapon. Personally I think training the tendons and connective tissue with straight arm exercises like the planche, front lever, back lever, and even iron cross should be good for building the connective tissue integrity in the elbows and shoulders.
Lol is this technique. Will it work without strenght . I see all the people doing same but y brzenk only succeded. If i did that with devon larrat(cyplenkov,pushkar,chaffee,bagent and almost every good armwrestler ) will it work . It is strenght simply . Not technique which is almost 5% or 10%
It of course takes strength as well, but in raw numbers in the gym Brzenk wasn't necessarily the strongest guy. The efficacy of the techniques is lost in the subtlety of the fine details of the biomechanics. Even Johnny Walker said about John's technique "he knew something I didn't". I guarantee there's much more to it than what's presented in this video - this is just a simple yet generally detailed overview of the most prominent techniques.
