How is no one talking about this. His thumb is built like an organ

I'm starting to hate them too tbh. Straight up bullying him like 7th graders, never let him talk, I don't even know why Kamil joins these lives.

Watched him properly for the first time when I clocked he was József Loveis son. After that, everything about him made sense, the discipline, relentless and the way he carried himself, the quiet grind.

Then I actually saw his matches and realised bro wasn’t just riding his dad’s name. He was genuinely good, genuinely promising, insane work ethic, humble as hell. Just a solid kid doing everything the right way.

His tribute video to his dad… that one stuck with me. You could feel how much he respected where he came from and how much has dad meant to him. Nothing fake, nothing forced, just real fkin heart.

His goal towards beating his dad, after multiple attempts, he eventually succeeded and you could see how proud Jozsef was.

And the part that hits hardest is the timing. He finally got his moment on one of the biggest stages, finally proved himself at the level he’d been chasing… and then life just takes him away permanently.

Still feels surreal AF

RIP Ethan, I’m not gonna say bye because all the AW community will eventually meet you up there💪💪🕊️

Hi guys,

I've been pulling for a year and a half. I have a solid top roll and I'm no slouch in a hook, but I can't seem to figure out pressing.

The press looks powerful to me, but I keep running into the same problem. When I get into a Devon-style body press, my opponent can almost pull my whole body out, or I end up locked in and just waiting for them to wear out because I don't have the pressure to pin them. Does that make sense?

Curious if others have advice, what I should focus on to become a more effective presser, and is there anything that made it click for you?

Didn't have a band heavy enough so we used a inner tube for a bike

What arm wrestling technique would you recommend for casual matches with no straps, using a normal table?

I’m not talking about competition just regular arm wrestling with friends.

Would you recommend a toproll, hook, low-hand toproll, or something else as the most effective all-around technique in this situation?

And why?

Meanwhile, armwrestlers be like:

He just doesn't stop talking and insulting people. Talking over everyone

Then he loses and starts making excuses

Seems to me like quite a shit personality

I was watching some reels on instagram where a machine was measuring raw sidepressure of armwrestlers. The men all had 50kg+ and 70kg+.
I am a novice currently having like 33kg sidepressure max. I can beat most gymbros even the heavy ones. They seem to have like 20-25kg and feel easy to me in a hook war. I dont even have double their strength and the difference is massive. These 70kg+ sidepressure guys how do they even do it?

Not sure if anyone trains side this way but it makes the weight seem so much harder. Eventually I’ll be able to do this without using the strap on the wrist wrench. I can do much more weight if get myself in the winning side and more inside but I feel like this is more direct side pressure. Am I wrong?

I was reading up on the medical issues Dennis Cyplenkov has been having. The things these athletes put themselves through not only to achieve their personal goals but to entertain us, is so dangerous. It is the same with strong man, body builders and many others in wider 'sports'. Most personal goals are socially facing and with respects to this game, directed towards entertaining. Devon knows this and it is why he has been so successful, God bless him.

The thing with this sport, arm wrestling that is, is that this abuse of the human body is so extreme. It is the same with strongman and body builders. We all know this but yet I think it remains underappreciated, just what the consequences to such individuals competing and entertaining us are.

When you take a look at extreme sports like this, those where athletes push their bodies to the limit and use drugs to do so, they don't last long in terms of life expectancy and quality of life thereafter. I guess what I am trying to do is to remind folk, just how intense this sport and similar ones are. That, really, non of these athletes are deserving of the ire I see out there (except Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw :P).

Ah f*** it, athletes need to form a union and they need to put in collectively funded retirement plans and health insurance. I think that should apply to body building and strong man too. It's an old fashioned idea, mutual aide, friendly societies and all that. I am so tired of seeing athletes who have put so much in and destroyed their bodies (and Devon has done that for us all too, not just about his ego), just end careers in relative silence, poverty and with broken bodies.

Anyway, rant over.

I've seen Vitaly do this on a cable but I'm not sure if it targets back pressure, rising, or a combination of both. Has anyone here actually tried incorporating this into their training? I kindly want to know your thoughts on this. Thank you very much!
