Actually the little guy has exceptionally strong wrists and hands along with being extremely explosive off the starts. He may not have been stronger in the biceps but that really doesn't matter when you have superior hand control and wrist pronation off the starts.
Exactly! It is much safer to armwrestle in these positions using more of the upper body and wrist rotation to control your body position in relation to your arm. Armwrestling with nothing but straight arm (no wrist movement) and the other arm behind the back is extremely dangerous and involves no technique except side pressure.
For all of those that think using your wrist or body (which I call technique) is cheating, read the rules first. And then realize that arm wrestling isn't a bicep strength competition. It's a sport. And all sports involve technique. Thanks.
I know because I'm part of an armwrestling club, and I've seen how strong some guys are just here in Oz. Zoloev is probably the best pound for pound on earth. You won't budge him trust me. I've watched many videos of him, he has an insanely strong hook. What I meant is, if you're not world class you won't budge him.
If you don't like armwrestling why are you watching the video? Everything you see is perfectly within the rules, if you want arm behind the back pub rules then well...go to a pub.
He has been budged hehe, but only the armwrestling elite could budge him, and unless you are one of them you won't. He would be on a crazy level of strength, much higher than you can imagine.
Theres a couple here and there who are using their bodyweight. Its normal to lean or bend down because you definitely need to adjust your body angle with your arm as the match progresses. Guy at 7:53 facing the cam is doing it fine, but the next dude at 7:57 who's back is facing the cam is in such desperation to use all his bodyweight.
How can his opinion be pointless? I would think that a fair amount of people believe the use of the body takes away the whole idea of "arm" wrestling, as it is more the entire body doing the work. So he has a fair point I might say.
I highly doubt it. The guy with the "skinny arms" who beats the big guy in the finals in 5 times national champion in Europe and has such strong wrists and forearms hardly anyone in Australia can beat him off the starts. As the finals show, it's not always about muscle size in this sport there are many other factors that come into play.
@armwrestlingaus That is why i practice the sport of mma, not armwrestling. i respect the rules if thats how they are. i didnt know that was legal. i still like it though. lots of energy and competitive mindsets in all these guys.
its not though. arm strength is important but not nearly as important as technique. all these guys that are winning are throwing their weight into it to help give them alot of extra leverage.
No you have to have the strength in your arm to apply all that torque through your body weight. If you weigh 238lbs and you have weak arms, then it really doens't matter what you weight, as you don't have the strength to apply it. If you do then yes apply all your weight, but you will be up against guys as strong and stronger. Actually, you will be shocked at how strong some guys are.
You are using your entire upper body so lots of training goes into excelling in this sport and there is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to technique and strategy. If you don't like it then simple solution, don't watch the video.
@cris5951 oh so the hand is part of the body and you have to use your bodyweight in an arm wrestle competition. ok got it thank you for enlightening me
I'm not trying to hate but like metaling88 said... I don't think is should be considered arm wrestling if some people are like using their whole body and pulling down
Your opinion is pointless in this case as these are the official armwrestling rules set down by the World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) which governs a worldwide sport and international competitions with over 1600 competitors.
Some guys that weigh much less than you, would have the strength to hold up all that weight of yours, khadzimurat Zoloev is just one example of someone you coudln't budge. And he is around 80kg.
Skinny arms is not always a good indication. watch "Girl Power-lifting: Amazing 12-year-old bench presses 70 kilos " There are men in my gym that cannot lift that weight! Most of these men in this video I have arm wrestled, and some of the strongest are those with skinny arms. Just look at Martins Vs Brett
when i play arm wrestling with people and they use their bodyweight to win i call that cheating come on i wont be proud to win when i am not really stronger and hwats the point of winning when u are not really using your arm strengh
I really don't see your problem these guys dont have so unmatched arms and besides who dosen't want big strong arms?? it has always been synonymous for strengh! and who says you cant train the rest of your body too? proffesional armwrestling involves the hole upperbody so you are a little bit lost my friend!
Was it me or did that seem really weak? That little dude that won wasn't stronger, he just had a better reaction time to go.. I guess it'a all fair.. but.. wow..
I know nothing about arm wrestling rules but that contest was a joke I mean come on some people are putting their entire weight while their opponent doesn't
I hate when you arm wrestle someone and they curve they're wrist toward they're body and want to say it makes no difference. that shit gives u such an upperhand plus really hurts the other persons wrist. bullshit.
Song is called "Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed.
The winner under 90 kg is awesome i cant belive he won
Actually the little guy has exceptionally strong wrists and hands along with being extremely explosive off the starts. He may not have been stronger in the biceps but that really doesn't matter when you have superior hand control and wrist pronation off the starts.
@5:30 and 8:25. GREAT strategy!not many people have that kind of quick reaction. Speed kills and backs it up with power! WINNA WINNA CHICKEN DINNA!!!
this little guy is amazing

i like the Rammstien playing in the background

Not always...there is someone that would be the strongest..:)
good job, Martins! malacis!
I agree. Those are 3 good ones. The one at 8:26 is also a huge surprise.
He has been budged hehe, but only the armwrestling elite could budge him, and unless you are one of them you won't. He would be on a crazy level of strength, much higher than you can imagine.

I remember when Adam laura was on the cover of the Matrix principle books. he was a big guy at 15 and bigger now!
Yeah, it's awesome. He proves that the big muscles and body sometimes don't work.
Martins lorencis is a fucking beast
Don't judge by looks, its more technical than you think
Absolutely agreed. They might as well get on the floor and wrestle.
Fire starter prodigy background :D
How can his opinion be pointless?
I would think that a fair amount of people believe the use of the body takes away the whole idea of "arm" wrestling, as it is more the entire body doing the work.
So he has a fair point I might say.
Phil vs Jesse คู่นี้มันส์
You see, go look a video where they don't use their body's. If they use only arms and both are extremely strong, the elbow and and arm break
I highly doubt it. The guy with the "skinny arms" who beats the big guy in the finals in 5 times national champion in Europe and has such strong wrists and forearms hardly anyone in Australia can beat him off the starts. As the finals show, it's not always about muscle size in this sport there are many other factors that come into play.
Disturbed - Down with the sickness
I don't know why but, nearly all song in this video are from Voevoda's videos ^_^
@armwrestlingaus That is why i practice the sport of mma, not armwrestling. i respect the rules if thats how they are. i didnt know that was legal. i still like it though. lots of energy and competitive mindsets in all these guys.
The band name is Disturbed, can't remember the song though
its not though. arm strength is important but not nearly as important as technique. all these guys that are winning are throwing their weight into it to help give them alot of extra leverage.
Song = down with the sickness
IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER. THIS IS A SPORT. THAT'S MY POINT.
No you have to have the strength in your arm to apply all that torque through your body weight. If you weigh 238lbs and you have weak arms, then it really doens't matter what you weight, as you don't have the strength to apply it. If you do then yes apply all your weight, but you will be up against guys as strong and stronger. Actually, you will be shocked at how strong some guys are.
Snaaaaaaaap!
they are NOT using their weights, they just following the hand
Dude i agree with you
You are using your entire upper body so lots of training goes into excelling in this sport and there is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to technique and strategy. If you don't like it then simple solution, don't watch the video.
What is the song name of the the intro of the video?
Does somebody knows what is the song in the minute 7 55 to 7 59. is a question this keyboard.
the 1st guy tryed pulling the old stallone hat trick
Ha Martin is to quick, jacks up all those guys with big arms.
5:26 that skinny dude has power!
@cris5951 oh so the hand is part of the body and you have to use your bodyweight in an arm wrestle competition. ok got it thank you for enlightening me
ALGUIEN SABE CUAL ES EL NOMBRE DE LA CANCION QUE APARECE EN EL MIN 7 55 AL 7 59
no not really i win alot but still we do it on a table more difficult to use body weight while sitting down
Disturbed - down with the sickness
the guy from the right slips his elbow out of the pad all the match
does any one now the song in the begining
I'm not trying to hate but like metaling88 said... I don't think is should be considered arm wrestling if some people are like using their whole body and pulling down
Your opinion is pointless in this case as these are the official armwrestling rules set down by the World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) which governs a worldwide sport and international competitions with over 1600 competitors.
They use body weight to prevent injury.
@emilbello he was like that because his hand didnt even touch the pad
soundtrack ?
woow the skinny guy is a hero
PUSH THAT FUCKING WEIGHT!!!!!
0:00 - 0:28
what song ?
Is the song
song ?
this shit is Cra cra
shut up this is professional arm wrestling they have a referee and everything
5:30 That was unexpected.
This is the manliest sport that has to do with holding hands. lol
Wtf I think I saw Joel from rooster teeth as a judge
There should be a rule where you can't lean off the table cause everyone does it
when arm wrestling with my friends this is considered extremely bad form and disqualifies you as we are wrestling for strength not technique
7:55 so close to break the arm.
Some guys that weigh much less than you, would have the strength to hold up all that weight of yours, khadzimurat Zoloev is just one example of someone you coudln't budge. And he is around 80kg.
Skinny arms is not always a good indication. watch "Girl Power-lifting: Amazing 12-year-old bench presses 70 kilos " There are men in my gym that cannot lift that weight! Most of these men in this video I have arm wrestled, and some of the strongest are those with skinny arms. Just look at Martins Vs Brett
this guy Adam Laura isnt fair, and he is far from strongest, he is just foxy...
81 vs 89 kg?
I THIN THAT HIS ARM IS BROKEN IN 7 59
when i play arm wrestling with people and they use their bodyweight to win i call that cheating come on i wont be proud to win when i am not really stronger and hwats the point of winning when u are not really using your arm strengh
Classic internet in this chain here
who r u talkin to!?
hahah i just did too bro!
5:31 what the heck happened? smh
I really don't see your problem these guys dont have so unmatched arms and besides who dosen't want big strong arms?? it has always been synonymous for strengh! and who says you cant train the rest of your body too? proffesional armwrestling involves the hole upperbody so you are a little bit lost my friend!
you're*
6:38
bigger and stronger not fitter or faster tho
Was it me or did that seem really weak? That little dude that won wasn't stronger, he just had a better reaction time to go.. I guess it'a all fair.. but.. wow..
I know nothing about arm wrestling rules but that contest was a joke I mean come on some people are putting their entire weight while their opponent doesn't
5:30 WTF???

Rammstein :))
0:46 PSYCH

I hate when you arm wrestle someone and they curve they're wrist toward they're body and want to say it makes no difference. that shit gives u such an upperhand plus really hurts the other persons wrist. bullshit.
2:19 steve jobs
look how skinny some of the arms is, i think i can even beat some of them.
Quagmire would've won easily!
:) xox
this is so unfair xd people like hanging and stuf
Down with a sickness
Thats not real arm wrestling. Arm wrestling is when you're elbow to elbow, not all this leaning over and pulling on something shat!
Why do they get to lean all under the table & shit lmao i thought it was arm wrestling not weight wrestling...
basketball is not a sport. :) more like an athletic activity.
no shit
they doesnt even know how to armwreslte, and thats crappy table also
disturbed sucks
Cheaters the lot of them
