John Brzenk vs Europe's Strongest Man 

Yeah, he's the definition of David against some of these Goliaths! xD

Though, when he armwrestles... his arms suddenly become huge, lol.

Make no mistake, John does work out.

Lieutenant Scrotes thats why he so well loved, besides being a really nice person.

Average guy who keeps in shape? Have you seen the size of his arm?

XD

hahahaha. well said

i like the word Michael Todding :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDd

Michael "Under the Table" Todd. We say it 'cause we like how it sounds 🙄

So funny

Cuz he wins 100% of the time hahah

Even if he loses, John still smiles and praises his opponents. Absolute class & sportsmanship @@dandan6778

jben212 funny. I thought the same thing.

I think there is a compartment under the table where Michael Todd secretly blows the ref, thats the only explanation they allow his blatant cheating.

Dude. John was under the table as well and the ref didnt do anything about it.

I like that the strongman could really arm wrestle, watch Johns interview about that match !!!

The top of his shoulder never went under don't know why he had to stand up l, it was completely leagal

+David Kelly Its very hard to actually brake the arm from the wrist actually. Its way easier to brake the arm bone from the elbow point.

pabnaful Its said that he was better than ali was at armwrestling. He dominated the world almost for 30 years. Even till 2015 He was giving shocks to people!

treta yug He was talking of Lars, not Brzenk, though.

brentlion Dude by "He" I mean Brzenk! I don't know what you are talking about. "It is said that John Breznk is Good armwrestling than Ali was at boxing! And its true if we consider his achievements and innumerable other criteria. I hope its clear to you. No cares for lars here. We are talking about Brzenk the GOAT!

at* and one* additions in previous comment.

dr lector absolute to be saluted

STEPHEN HONG Strength is the last thing to go! After speed, agility, reflexes etc... You can keep your strength for years after that.

Amen, they don't know

STEPHEN HONG old man strength is a real thang😃

I thought it was the opposite. Doesn't "Old Man Strength" give him the clear advantage?

Me too

Him and fuckin Devon larrat

key word "Humble" cant stand watching all the "Mouths" anymore.

Humble is great. It's also good to have a few 'personalities' in the sport as long as it's within reason. They're the ones that bring in the most attention. Arm wrestling is one of the most competitive sports there is - usually a few seconds of brute strength, adrenaline and testosterone. A humble psyche isn't necessarily going to give you an edge. You have to expect most meatheads to get loud and sure of themselves, ready to go. Then when you win it's hard to suddenly bottle all of that drive. People like John should be appreciated but not expected.

Awang333 Agreed. Love the guy. Super cool 👍

and even final boss music

Yeah, he waited til the end when john was used up somewhat...good sneaky strategy..

I guess, John is the boss

0:42 hardest fight

First Guy - Level 3 Last Guy - Level 90 John - Easter Egg Boss

haha fucking true. Todd is a disgrace

Yep soo true!!

It depends on the league. Some just ask you to stand and it's only a foul if you don't stand. Others let you go as low as you want as long as your fighting shoulder doesn't dip below the table

@@timdoonan5898 that should change to min table level

see the elbow man

***** That guy is Lars Rørbakken, and although he really is a top-level strongman, he's not even CLOSE to being the strongest one. (Not saying that the strongest one would beat Brzenk or do better, since not all strongmen specialize in arm wrestling.)

***** I thought you meant the strongest in the world, my apologies. He's definitely one of the strongest in Norway. It also appears that arm wrestling is his specialty, and it's obvious from the video. Despite weighing a lot less, I think Brzenk had a big advantage when it comes to how strong his wrist and grip are. Lars simply could not prevent the hook, so I think that's something to work on.

***** Cyplenkov is nothing short of a freakshow nowadays. The amount of growth hormone he took completely changed his appearance, he looks ridiculous. And he still can't beat Brzenk. I think with some work on his wrist Lars can definitely be a pretty high level arm wrestler. His relatively skinny legs do make him look unbalanced though (not that it really matters in pure arm wrestling).

Herp Derp Brzenk`s grip is not that strong....considering his status as an arm wrestler. He can`t even close the #3 coc, but several men in smaller weight classes can, and Lars likely can, as well. It`s his arm strength that matters, and technique. As long as you know which way the arm wrestler is pulling, you can adjust to them.

that big guy was lars rorbakken hes a fucking beast....theres a video of devon larratt calling him on for a match and lars tuned him devon was rattled...hes not an ameteur hes a arm wars heavyweight

lol

You mean John Brzenk is the final boss right? LOL.

Haha nice

lol that guys technique is crap hes he only lasted so long because hes a lot bigger.. 3:49 WTF is that? LOL

@@JustinK0 kings move "LOL"

спасибо мужик!

Thanks

I think that's a misrepresentation of what really happened. He just held on until the other guy just wore himself out.

The last guy really risked to have his arm broken

Francesco Cornelio yeah I thought his wrist was going to snap.

The last guys name is Lars Rørbakken and he is from Norway. He is 14x norweigan champion and 7x nordic champion. Other than that he is in another weightclass than Brzenk. Rørbakken er 6'4 - 125 kg. So probs to John for beating him after so many matches vs other people he is a true legend.

True demonstrarion of how arm wrestling is 50 % technique 50 % raw power

That's what I thought. So you got beaten easily by the greatest arm wrestler of all time who is clearly much bigger and stronger than you even to begin with? "Yeah pal, you were lucky!"

As if you'd walk off and not shake this mans hand....

He gave John a thumbs up in the end though.

also arragont twig didnt shake johns hand.

Tight shirts give +5 strength. Thought he would win.

@EllisEvolved this is one of our favourite events and certainly the best-suited music (final track) for a match of such epic proportions. Thanks for the kinds words my friend.

@pan peter ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wB7Sgn5GAJA.html Lars vs Devon

You mean that man under the table?

Thats Lars Rorbakken (at that time 14th time national norwegian champion) It's his signature move... he is super strong with it.

Anon Anonymous but still a dangerous position comparing it with other moves.

thought the same wtf

LoL at 00:36 vs the woman he called for an elbow foul, but didn't mind her tugging with both hands.

I was hoping he would

Dictionaries don't have pictures.......

@@hasoonnine stop

Yup right next to Larrat

Andy Martinez and right next to Michael todd

@@user-wr8ke1ur9r he wont be in the dictionary but he will be under the table

+Zeus Yeah...after Brzenk has been going at it all day, and every contender is fresh

+Huxxy correct

+Zeus u know us norwegians, its in our blood

+MrEiwa123 Laughed quite hard at that comment.

+SKiNKk1 u see we are funny too

after armwrestling about 30 guys or so, his rotator cuff and his muscles would be worn out. John would have thrashed that guy if he was first in line. plus, armwrestling is more about the density of the forearm. John's forearms look much more vascular and dense.

Joe marine They only put that guy at the end of the video because he was the toughest, not because he was the last in the line.

To be honest Lars was going to push John to the limit whether he was first or last, and the guys in between barely had John getting out of first gear. Except big Alan Kliese who out of straps caused John major problems getting hand control.

Australian Armwrestling Federation yup, i heard john state he had incredible hand and wrist strength. god damnit i wish those competitor t shirts were available! damn u AAF! :)

We have some competitor shirts still :)

Nah, he's fine.

He is also a professional armwrestler.

Nah....he is a professional arm wrestler, using a fairly common technique, called the flop-wrist press. I have tried it before, and its generally a very comfortable position if you know what you are doing. But he might have suffered a bit of a slight injury which might nag him for a few weeks, just because his match was so long and tough.

+Alex Sahler Thats Rorbbaken, a proffessional arm wrestler

And a great flop user

Yeah it looks really risky because brzenck is such a strong dude

@@Dan91 he may be a professional arm wrestler, however that doesn't mean he can't break his arm. In arm wrestling there is a rule that your shoulder should not go below your elbow as it places your bones in a spiral position and hence easy to break. You can even see the ref warn him for this... so yea that's my 2 cents reply 4 years later

50-60kg? don't get carried away now.

50-60 kg? no way Brznek has 100 kg ~ this Guy is Lars Rorbakken Weighs 120 kg ( searched with Google)

Lepe 😂😂

Brzenk is 210. Opponent probably 270.

@@AhPhoey lbs not kg

+roarodon I actually didn't know who Brett Coutts was when I saw this vid the first time, then I found out about him later on and I was watching this again just now and I'm like "hey, that's Brett Coutts, John toyed with him wtf?"

hahahhaaa, a testament to how good john is.

roarodon Brett was a lot smaller and weaker here that in 2014 when he arm wrestled Devon.

Not only that but Brett is much stronger lefty, the practice pull with Devon was lefty. @@destrox7516

Adam Laura too and Doug Fatehi, John pulled through 4 tough guys with ease.

Nah, he wasn't in any danger.

He's a pro arm-wrestler himself.

Matthew Craig what do you mean his hand was about to fucking pop off lmao

Lzzz Incorporated [RNGX] No it wasn't. That's just a flop wrist press. He was in good position.

Matthew Craig obviously it wasn't going to come off, but that move is definitely not the safest move to use.

true

His names John arbuckle.weigths atleast 1.7 times more than john

Name hulk man ???

Yes Bro, He was undefeated for 30 years, a spectacular sports career.

he will be the best

Lol John just warmed up after 20-30 mans

No.. only two or three were even any type of challenge for him. Good warm ups. But yes they did count for something little.

except if you are a experimented armwrestler that use press to win

Yeah $1000 might as well of been 1,000,000... nobody is going to collect haha

John nasceu pra ser um campeão ,não tem jeito.

RooNinful their both crazy.and also larrat and oleg

Preliator
