Devon is the man. I know nothing about armwrestling. For some reason his videos have captivated me. He is a superstar and is a great leader of your sport.
Kevin Kahn Kevin I totally relate to this comment. Devon is an incredibly engaging guy. Very humble, well spoken, intelligent and has a great sense of humour. He's also an incredible arm wrestler and more than anyone really tries to promote it as a legitimate contact sport that requires significant sacrifice as well as strength to succeed. His efforts to promote the sport are tireless and he always has a smile on his face.
I kept noticing that and then at about 6:30 I looked over and all three were staring back. Then number four came along xD I don't know why it was so unsettling. Ever noticed how armwrestlers tend to have a school of kids?
Nice move Devon. This is a great gesture of sportsmanship. I appreciate how you are thinking of the sport and your fellow arm wrestlers before thinking simply about yourself. You are the one who got me in to armwrestling and this is just another reason you are my and so many others' favorite arm wrestler. With all the exposure in the last 5 to 7 years and the evolution of the sport in the last 20 to 30 years (evolving into a full body sport, kind of like ju jistu) I think good days are ahead regardless of what happens with WAL.
Devon Larratt, I respect you even more after that idea of passing the Hammers as a symbols to the winners. So, I wish you lots of strength and endurance as u're gonna need them. I'll be rooting for u and I hope u're gonna win! HighHookers!:)
Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.
It is in times like this that make me proud to be such a big fan of yours. I hope WAL doesn't go under even though that's what it seems. Your positive attitude towards everything is sure to keep spirits high at the finals and moving forward. BTW I haven't seen one of those hammers up close like that. Those things are sick! Good luck man!
So inspiring . I hope it all comes back together bigger than it was before. You guys show what strength, persistence, and drive can do to someone. Make them unstoppable. Life's challenges are perceptions created by fear and change but life's challenges crumble under strength, persistence, and drive. Keep doing what you are doing. I would love to be as strong as you someday.
Total class act. Canada's hidden gem. Arm wrestling totally deserves to more recognition. If this was any other major sport, Devon would be known nationwide as one of our national sporting heroes. Yet for whatever reason and decades of the barroom stereotype, only fellow competitors and die hard fan know that one of the best ever is a Canadian. It is foolish. I don't want to see arm wrestling in the Olympics. The IOC would try to 'clean up' the sport..which would sterilize it and get rid of its character. But I want to see it get some respect and media coverage. It is the essentially the most affordable sport for kids to take part in. I suggest starting them young and build the sport up that way.
Devon Larratt is the armwrestling GOAT! Best to ever do it! 2015 left arm hw champ + 3rd place right arm, 2016 left + right arm hw champ, 2017 left + right arm hw champ. He came back from injury (twice), switched to his weaker arm and STILL dominated.
I love that you are doing your best to make the most of a bad situation and move the sport you love forward in a positive way. Good luck, I really hope you can pull it off!!
I like your ideas sounds good..man I feel arm wrestling making a big come back lots of young guys and girls getting into it..so now I'm back to working the arms so I can maybe see if I still got it
Well in Devon, I love the idea of the hammers being passed around. Brilliant idea. Hope to see them both in your possession for a while to come, you definitely aren't losing that lefty ahaha
You've got a good spirit about things .. you're absolutely right .. it is what it is, but I can't help but to say that I feel terrible for all the pullers who sacrifice so much in ways that most people who have no understanding of competitive arm wrestling will never understand .. I hope things gets ironed out looking towards the future .. that said, Happy Father's Day dude ..many many more and thanks for sharing🤛💪🤜
You make this sport so awesome Devon. I only just recently got into it but definitely needs to become mainstream it really is exciting to watch, especially now when masculinity and strength is under attack, no offense to your wife or the ladies that compete as well.

Love it that your not one of these muscle bound guys that can barely wipe themselves. You are proof that technique rules above all else. Don’t get me wrong your strong, I like to call it country strong. Love it! Keep it up.
You're the man, Devon. Never got the arm wrestling thing until I saw your matches. Particularly love that one where you look at Christoph Ladu and say: "ALL DAY, MAN!! IT'S NOT GONNA BE A GOOD DAY FOR YOU!!" So entertaining.
Happy to catch this in my recommended! Young Devon looking fresh & crisp! Love how your video taking hasn't changed 😂 and I think that's the same squeaky chair right? haha
I know WAL is important. But u've proved that u r the best. U've been beating them and be undefeated. Ur next challenge is probably most people wanna see is u getting into armwrestling with dennis. C. But i really hope u get what u want and stay strong. But please do dennis. Peace..
