Roman put on a clinic down in Pocahontas at the 2020 Illinois State Armwrestling Championship. The Ukrainian sensation rolled through his weight class and smashed pullers well above his weight. Strong. Polite. Humble. Roman Gromov
Great puller(out of this world backpressure and pronation for his weight), great sportsmanship and great video ! Thanks for uploading , I’ve already subscribed.
I absolutely agree, Cody. I hope this video gets shared and goes viral. Not for me. For him. He’s still so young and so strong. If he stays healthy and injury free, he could go on a tear. Such a nice and genuine dude, too. Thanks for watching and supporting, bro. 👊
@CodyV38 yup ..just like Kody Merritt in HW .. WAF world champion both seniors and masters Lh and people are still hyping names they can’t touch him right now ..
Yes. He did. It’s a highlight video, so I didn’t want pin-losses. But the fact that a 160lb Roman slowed those monsters down was impressive. So it made the edit. The full matches are in the IL State Qualifier videos. 👍
He has perfect technique..see how he uses his whole body and bring his shoulder and body over quickly in one motion.this is the best and most effective way to armwrestle
Every of them use whole body which is totally fine, just where the arm connect to body, if your arm/hands were not strong enough, body weight mean nothing. Other has higher body weight and they did try to use that, don't be naive, it's pro tournament, they know their game.
I haven't noticed any of the names of the people that he is pulling. Of course he looks strong but those other guys may not be very good either. I wanna see Gromov pull Kindt, then Harris, then Amolins
That’s a fair thing to say. But just because you haven’t heard of someone, doesn’t mean they may not be some of the strongest guys. Some people just don’t get to large tournaments or nationals. And to segue into that, that’s all this is... a State Championship. It was just showing all of his wins and how versatile he is. The fact that he steamrolled through Brent Rakers left arm is crazy. And even slowing Pavlo D down like that is crazy. That’s way WAY over his weight class. I also agree that I wish that Roman would hit more national tournaments.
Pavlo was like 5th in 2019 Zloty 105kg class (VERY stacked class) & Rakers is like 10+ times national champion ..weighting ~95/100kg So winning them Lh and hardly losing Rh is really insane imo
