Liking the longer more in-depth vids. Devon Larratt is extremely invested both spiritually as well as physically. He teaches a solid lesson for us all in that he displays discipline like few others. Nothing false in him either, a very genuine man. I relate to him from his military background, and for me, coming from a PIR(Parachute Infantry Regiment) I understand Devon's approach, his discipline in his day to day, for those of us who share the "warrior spirit" it is considered failure to skip training or to be inactive. We're different than others, we confront fear where most would yield to it, and it really doesn't matter about being in the military, its something in our DNA, we're born with it, and this is certainly not limited to Arm Wrestling.
Well said brother i also served as a jumper did quite a lot of halo jumps during my service amazing time of my life to jump like that. i hear you about the dna it just how we are made hopefully i can see the velkery,s some day . well said thanks for this needed that
I don't think Devon and most arm wrestlers but especially Devon I don't think they let us fans and other arm wrestlers in on how they really train lol. I'd say Devon does a lot of jogging or running for that cardio he has. Probably what he did in the military to have so much cardio especially at his age. His cardio is far beyond arm wrestlers half his age lol
Devin has freak cardio. When he was in the military he won the Ironman race they had. He has stated that he walks constantly too but I wouldn’t doubt if he ran a bit.
@@FRElHEIT he ran a ton in the special forces so I'm sure he knows how lol. But with his arms the way they are now it does make it look awkward no doubt lol. Unless he's just putting on a show for the camera lol
Great video! I’ve been using a bunch of exercises I’ve learned from Devon to rehab my arm after an ulnar nerve injury. If you look at where the pronator muscle is on the inner elbow it travels right above the ulnar nerve! I’ve been doing lots of other stuff as well but rolling has been absolutely amazing for healing my inner elbow. I did 5lbs for 6 months, then 10lbs for 6 months, now I’ve been using 20lbs for 6 months and not too long ago I did 40lbs for the first time!
Couldn't agree more with the last segment of the video. I think it's less important to study Devon's CURRENT training methods and more important to look at his development through his entire career. Over his decades of arm wrestling he has developed strengths and techniques that once developed may not need to be trained as frequently but require a lot of training and table time just to unlock. So early on he may have needed to train cupping and top rolling a ton just to become proficient at them but now that he's at his current level he just needs to training rising.
It seems like his method of attack is two fold. 1) Train outside movements to tire out opponent. 2) All the years of training inside finishes off the opponent. This is Devons final form. Scary.
Thanks PEP, for this amazing content. I hv recently started training for arm wrestling, what i noticed that even though i m stronger in hook, i hv seen toproll technique has a lot more longevity. I hv shifted my training to more pronation, back pressure. I do train my side pressure but mostly for isometrics or Statics
It all depends on your anatomy and pulling style. If youre a short thick guy with short arm and small hand, doing only rising and rolling would be a huge mistake. It works for Devon because he pretty much always has a longer arm than his opponent, meaning controlling the high ground and toprolling is the anatomically most efficient move for him. If youre built like Daniel Procopcuic or Sasho Andreev, youre likely better off training the cup and hook, since you basically never get the high hand control for free, like Devon.
No. Anotomy is only excuse to not train top roll. devon was a champion with hook training. You can be top roller or hook puller. It doesn't have so much to do with anatomy.
@qwe_398 I get what you're saying but you definitely won't be a world class Low-Hander for instance if you are a short armed small hand person and were at the same level with someone with a much longer arm and bigger hand. Can't deny that Anatomy does play a huge role
@@TheChosenOne2023 what. You absolutely can in your weight class. For example there is an janis who is world class low hand top roller. If you have shorter arms it is clear that you will have smaller body, that directly means your weight class will be lower compared to the super heavy weight class. THERE IS NO POINT FROM YOUR COMMENT
@@qwe_398 I guess I meant more in the sense if you were a low hand toproller and you had a clone of yourself with the same strengths, only difference being that the clone has a longer arm and bigger hand/fingers, you will have much more problems low handing him then he will with you. Not saying you can't train it and be very good at it, just saying that some people are more built for a move than others and at the absolute elite level all of that matters. Janis style works better for him because most of those guys are Hookers in his class so it plays right into his LHTR, but he goes against a toproller like Cobra Rhoads with a long arm and he can't get his LHTR engaged
Whatever biomechanical study Devon’s training methods is based on, it’s a matter of fact that “No Limits” doesn’t have the highest raw strength in armwrestling. Devon’s endurance is one of the best ones in the history of the sport. However, what makes him a legend of the sport is not even that. It’s the combination of technicality, versatility and table IQ. Technicality is the skill of executing techniques in an almost perfect way. Versatility is the skill of knowing how to execute a high number of techniques, if not all of them. Table IQ (also called ‘table intelligence’) is mainly the skill of knowing when it’s better to use a certain technique rather than another one. Of course, to acquire these skills, experience is fundamental.
If you disregard strength, height, weight etc.... and just rank every arm-wrestler ever, by skill/technique alone, people who can hang with Devon are hard to find. Ermes, maybe John B, Andrey, and top Denis Cyplenkov. But skill and experience are only 50% of the equation. That is why I love arm wrestling so much. So many things are contributing and working in tandem with each other, to create monsters of the sport.
In terms of pure skill the few people that can rival Devon are Brzenk, Prudnyk, and Denis. Pushkar usually relied on his explosiveness and pure strength, Ermes is young and from the loss against Devon we can see he still has much to learn.
How to train like devon: Practice vocal chord strength to yell and distract refs. Calf raises to stretch as far as possible over the table before the go. Pillow squeezes to strengthen his ability to squeeze his opponents hand.....after the ref says stop. More vocal chord practice to yell at the refs and his opponent in the setup.
The best part of this video, Devon feeding artem Canadian humble pie sideways.... Regardless of where Devon stands on the podium, he will always be the Peoples Champ... Well done sir now we know the big man can get tired... its a start ... i heard a vet will administer levans shot!?!
Basic strength training principles are always: More simple and stable lifts produce higher rate of output force and are better for gaining strength. He is definitely coordinated enough because of his endless amounts on the table. Training on the pulley system doesn’t need to be more effective, just because they look more like armwrestling. Specific Trainingg is not lookalike training ;)
I don’t believe the deep hook training hurt him as much as diving deep inside on guys like Ivakin and ron bath. Those hits by those guys have to do more damage than any weight could
Thanks for the response. I think the outside armwrestling will be more beneficial for him as he's got long arms. Especially if he's pulling eastern armwrestlers who're not that tall. Its definitely a new phase in his journey.
The facial expressions and mind game are his secret weapons. Doesn't hurt that he's built like a 7ft. cave man. Hammer curls with slow negatives and pronation with some explosive short movements using heavy cable resistance will work just fine. I don't believe gravity and freeweights alone can put you "Over The Top".
Sports science tells us that training with sports-specific exercises is the most efficient as it most closely transfers to the particular sport in question, take a look at Chinese weightlifters and their accessory lifts, or Japanese javelin throwers and their training regimens. There are some solid case studies to suggest that this type of training works, provided the athlete has the necessary base fitness.
Whatever it is his stack is definitley geared towards recovery, the guy armwrestles for hours at a time all through the week. He also looks hard and lean lately.
Não tem segredo. Pelo contrário é até muito simples. O que segura a rotação externa do braço dele? O que segura a rotação interna do braço dele? O cotovelo só aceita dois movimentos extensão e flexão. Mas o segredo está nãos rotadores do ombro. O resto é apenas resistência. Cheguem seus rotadores de ombro deve ter um torque absurdo.
Someone who has 2 hours of tabletime per week and zero weights will beat a guy who trains 5 days a week in the gym but has not table time. Table time is by far the best way to get better at arm-wrestling.
You also cant make a Devon training video without mentioning.......Performance Enhancing Pancakes! Great video buddy......and very well thought out and organized👍👍🔥
@@zackiaryruddick701 Lol your clueless if you think he isn’t, they all are my dude they don’t test for it. Look at his bulging veins that’s a telltale sign
@@JesseStevenTrumm3992 lol Devon has more character than that mate he doesn't need the gear to be the best he wants to be the best he is the best , that photo next to your name suggested that you do the gear 👏 am I right ? you know because everyone else dose so you must too right ? Is that what you yell yourself ? I dear you to ask Devon if he's on the gear just make sure someone is recording and I'll go get the popcorn 🤠 and you should lay off the gear bro it's starting to look bad
The shoulder plays a major role in armwrestling but nobody talks about it. Im starting to realize that sure.. you can have an elite hand and wrist but if weight is put behind your shoulder in the rught position that hand and wrist strength doesnt really help you.
Reps and sets are irrelevant, intensity within a set can determine whether you need 1 set or 100. If you have say 100 energy. and you spend 100 on 1 set then going ahead and doing another set after that will not net in more gains but less because of fatigue. You can though do lower intensity and more volume if need be, but for muscle, the higher intensity is better
In terms of super heavyweight he has not made much progress if any at all. In the heavyweight division, his leverage, hand size and arm length is what gives him his main advantages.
I didn't see a suggested Exercise-Set-Rep schema. Doesn't need to be exactly what Devon does, just something that is inspired by what this YT creator thinks Devon does. That woulda been nice. Less theory and more straightforward action steps that a layperson can digest and apply.

something that no one could do like him

REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS !!
Thanks brother!
Reminds me of "how to train like Mr.Universe", with one page of exercises and the rest of the book about diet, vitamins, supplements, & steroids.
Probably your most informative video. Thank you

5:08 "it takes a lot to get use to toes"
his hook training is still a record
Don’t underestimate the power of a hot wife cheering you on ether 😏
I think shes more into it than he is at this point🤣 i imagine the hand endurance helps in more ways than one.
This is by far the most interesting arm wrestling channel there is.
I keep forgetting how in nearly all of his top supermatches, he's the lighter bodyweight out of the two
Good video,Devon's glasses are something else.🤣🤣

He is not against it
Every puller needs to have strong inside
Holy shit Devon is almost doing a Bulgarian
Pancakes ?! Thats awesome . Wish the best on Devon
He’s already given the secret, but you’ve missed it. He has said the best way to get good at arm wrestling, is to arm wrestle.
Devon its like Goku, never give up and let enemy to learn because, when enemy is better you are the best.
Mental toughness is the key.
The way he also breathe is very important
He is very smart training this way
Devon larrrat has graduated to senior, hat-backwards mode, like Dennis cyplenkov
You need those performance cakes................................
His hand size is gonna help him tons
Top video I finally found this video❤
Remember suring his whole career he was a jtf 2 operator !
Isometric exercise are the unknown fountain of strength that most people don't know about. Nothing will develop strength like isometrics.
Devon’s not training to win, he’s training to take his opponent’s energy 😂
fantastically well made video
Thanks so much brother! Thanks for watching!
He's like the goku... No Gohan of arm wrestling. Mastering technique, endurance, strength and power

the way he is training it, it seems to be back pressure + knuckles up

Im gunna give this training a try.
Any idea how much weight he's doing the isometrics with?
I think like 70 on the riser and 130 on the pronation if I remember right

Thanks for the response. I think the outside armwrestling will be more beneficial for him as he's got long arms. Especially if he's pulling eastern armwrestlers who're not that tall. Its definitely a new phase in his journey.

What can I do if my wrist hurts and has no strength left after training? Already 3 days.
I got the pancake part down.
Question: What P.E.D's do you think he's on?
none
HGH because of his head growth and trt ofcourse
probably some test derivatives like deca or anadrol and hgh
