He looks like a mountain. Huge hands huge forearms biceps ridiculously strong developed triceps massive shoulders. So much devotion. He's a true inspiration.
Diego Mr. They all had their. Moments at the top !! When Cleve was on and training he was almost impossible 2 beat ! but was always unhealthy! John is the guru of training and technical genius!! Lupkes was on top a sear or 2 in the late 80s
@@mattbudesa3038 - Good point. Denis's left is his strongest side. But still, that right arm IS attached to Denis Cyplenkov. The dude is strength personified. Richard gave him a really good go. His age at the time made it even more impressive. But just like boxers, strength is the last thing to go. Age my take your speed and agility, but like a boxer will keep his strong overhand right, an arm wrestler's strength hangs in there for the count (in most cases).
I think Voevoda was "just stronger" and Cyplenkov is "stronger" If you stay at the top for 30 years in this sport it's not just strenth or just tecniques. You need both.
Look at all the UA-cam doctors claiming, "so what he took steroids" ...you have no idea what your saying, have never worked hard for anything, you can the biggest stacks you want, and aside from making you a little stronger and recovering a little faster they won't you much good without making your body a machine with good food in, and out regularly, tons of rest and progressive training. Everyone in the IFBB takes gear, but they all work their asses off to be their best, take away steroids and Mr Olympia would still be Mr Olympia, want proof that taking massive stacks won't do hardly sit without work? Google Jason Genova or Jason Blaha...all the gear in the world won't fix bad diet and shitty training
Take away the steroids mr olympia will be some fucking 5'9 185lbs jacked dude not 285lbs ninja turtle shell armoured monster. Like seriously how dumb can you be
@Voku some people are just naturally big? I have 20" arms and I never really workout. I've never done steroids. Size of someone doesn't mean steroids all the time.
He went through all the eras of armwrestling, has been on top eversince the beginning, has been winning before armwrestling was what it is today and is still among the top even in his old age, after decades, now if that isnt what describes a legend, then I dont know what is.
Three time Superheavyweight World Champion 1988, 1989, 2011 countless national championships .. you're an ignorant fuck.. Lupkes is respected by any serious armwrestler
What a wife. Absolute blessing, he definitely found his soulmate.
Richard's story is amazing. May he prosper on his comeback attempt.
Richard is in my top 10 favorite Arm Wrestlers of all time. And his wife is a beautiful person inside and out.
Damn 1977 was his first world match, so hes been AR for 40+ years and still a top dude
20 smth years i think
Great man,my favorite armwrestler ,ever
He looks like a mountain. Huge hands huge forearms biceps ridiculously strong developed triceps massive shoulders. So much devotion. He's a true inspiration.
What an awesome story! Incredible support.
....Mr. Lupkes you are an Inspiration to me ......Thank you for uploading
Сильный чувак. Что и говорить!
Крутой мужик! Хорошая жена! )
CLEVE DEAN, JHON , RICHARD, LEGENDS

Don't forget Goodrich
Leviathan is still Going Strong. Hulk and Grandpa, one person. Congrats, brutal strenght
Very big man for his age, puts alot of youngsters to complete shame...
Cool guy. Saw him vs Cyplenkov, whom he almost beat
Yeah right handed.

@@michaelr.4878 Oh no doubt. Not taking anything away from big Rich. He's an ox and still impressive regardless of his age. Denis is just a freak.
@@michaelr.4878 I was sitting here thinking “like boxers, strength is the last to go”? Kinda odd to compare someone to a pair of underwear 😂
7:08 The biggest aspect of Todd's king's move explained
This Man giant
I Luv Rich, and I've never even met the guy. 😃
Very nice video
I love Rich (no homo) He is a class act and one of the strongest arm-wrestlers of all-time
+Francisco Neto Then why isn't he where jon is today?
+1310monster Because arm-wrestling is not all about power. Technique matters a lot too and John is probably the best in that aspect.
john isnt that technical hes just the strongest
I think Voevoda was "just stronger" and Cyplenkov is "stronger"
If you stay at the top for 30 years in this sport it's not just strenth or just tecniques.
You need both.
dvr1337 he is the most technical and has hidden super strength
Hes put on 200 lbs of muscle since he was 18. Lol.
Wife made his life fun. My wife divorce me lol
MINNESOTA!!!!!!!!
Good video....but why is the thumbnail a picture of Derlin Moore??

Can you believe rich doesn't have a yt channel
Save his gene for next generation
i believe he left the sport for awhile...not sure
yes he did
He was the Levan Saginashvili of his time.
I'd take roids if I can look like that and live till my 60s
Lol Even if dude took nothing but hrt he’d be a monster. Dude’s huge
There's no roids in the world that would turn you into him, he's a 340 pound monster
My cousin 6 6 345 lbs.bench press 560 lbs. A Mississippi logger never steroids all natural.
Hes lying to you lol
Guys like this do exist...
Tank Abbot 260 lbs could bench 600 no steroids drinking beer
Thanks . I have seen him do this many times he has a job that test him regularly i know this true. There are many men that has this ability.
nice until the NFL part (too long)
Translate mistake. Not 6000, but 8000
It's incredible how John who never took steroids and was so much smaller iced this guy.
Delusionaled people jesus....
He has been taking HGH for many years..
Lol. Right . just like Ron Coleman only used creatine .
@@tupelomississippiflash968 kali muscle only used hyphy mud
@@Kizdo69 rich piano only used 5150
6:04 "He was rocky marciaro sparing...bla"???? WTF Who is that Rocky Marci....o
avtomatization He is boxing heavyweight champion, Rocky Marciano
наймите нормального переводчика, кошмар
he 100% started juicing
This guy was not on roids..My father in law is literally a spitting image of this guy and he takes no steroids. He's just a retired farmer.
@Voku why's that ?
@Voku my father in law. And I never said he had the strength. Just the size.
@Voku some people are just naturally big? I have 20" arms and I never really workout. I've never done steroids. Size of someone doesn't mean steroids all the time.
All of them are on steroids!
Yes hes on steroids......who cares!
Legend of steroids
richard should talk about the massive amounts of steroids he has taken.
***** well im not the one posting a vid about myself claiming to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. and how did u know i was fat?
***** jealous of what? are u telling me scrawny lanky Richard got that big by just lifting? Are you denying that he took steroids?
+IamJacksColon4 So what, just about every athlete has been taking them since they came around
+IamJacksColon4 everyone were taken steroids, but Richard was a champion.
Джабба Хатт John never took any. but his hand and wrist power is insane.
Brzenk the very best. Lupkes naaaah
Lupkes is a legend show some respect
He is a legend and a very nice guy, but.....his size is enormous size is suggestive of abuse.
legend? he never won anything big
You don't have to win big shit to be a legend.
He went through all the eras of armwrestling, has been on top eversince the beginning, has been winning before armwrestling was what it is today and is still among the top even in his old age, after decades, now if that isnt what describes a legend, then I dont know what is.
dvr1337 fuck off bum.

Every Armwrestling comment i saw of you is a childish one.
