Your absolutely right. Travis is a very smart armwrestler with his own unique philosophie. In another video he noticed how BOTH straps go under the wrist of Oleg Zhokh. And hey John Brzenk is listening carefully to his seminar :-)))
been doing this since i heard him say it the first time, and guys, the towel thing ? if you really use it, works alot better ! it targets alot of the minor fast twitch muscles in the hand and forarm because of the unequal grip , compared to a straight grip with a gripper. Thats why it works so well. And ive been doing this for a little over a year
20:39 I sit in my chair and use my 110 Lab with a rope toy pull as hard as he can. Also if you are right handed and like fishing. Take up trolling for Musky with giant lure. Pretty damn good workouts.
This shocked me. I thought this would be "pretty good." I didn't realize it would be extraordinarily thorough, understandable, helpful, interesting, and fun! Never knew how I felt about the guy. Today I became a huge fan!
@@dasman8117 Some guys just cuss. I met Travis about 5 years ago, through a mutual friend, I had my son with me and I have to say Travis is really great with kids. Most every arm-wrestler I've met have been great with kids. Larratt, Mask, Underwood, Hale,.....and a bunch more.
All the greats watch each other’s stuff. Keeping in mind that they all have different training methods which makes it great because some way some how one of those seminar/training advice WILL register with you
It's a sport of so many different styles and strengths and on any given match a top guy can lose to a lesser guy. It really is a technical sport and not just about strength at all 😜
@@armwrestlingfan6804 oh ya booy strength is never a weakness , I have good strength for lifting heavy weights and it's a matter of getting the strength out in arm and techniques .for its practice because I'm new to this really so gotta get table time in and I see many strong big guys do well in this sport. Larry wheels is going to be a top guy in next couple years as well... Strength is never a weaknesses. A wise man alllways says this.
That was one of the most straight forward, clear descriptions of personal technique and justification based on personal experience I have heard any arm wrestler give. Whatever your opinion of Travis might be, he is an excellent teacher! He’s a pretty cool dude too...
Not one interruption. You can see the respect. He's beat everyone in the room..brezenk and Todd. He's definitely a legend and one of the best ever. Thanks for the lesson.
I think they need to make a sequel to pulling John. It will be call John pulls Travis Baginya rated xxx. 😂 A tale of bromance. This guy actually about broke the poor old guys arm. Word on the street is that they are in a bromance.
These guys are so good at laying it out for everyone to understand, Devon too of course, Todd H is good too but I think he would be the best one if he started it 5 beers or so deep lol
Awesome presentation. Grippers have gotten my hands pretty darn strong. A lot of armwrestlers like to discredit them but if you do them right your finger containment and hand durability/strength will skyrocket. Its not a necessity but if you can close highlevel grippers at a relatively wide set then its more power to you. Crushing the towel at a max effort is surprisingly an amazing way to build the hand/forearm. Using the towel to grease the groove when emulating the set grip, closing your thumbs, closing your hand, is a great way to get use to building strength/speed and power in that motion. Anything you can get stronger is of course an advantage. Having a rock for a hand only can help in the set grip and usually doesnt give your opponent an opportunity to settle into their strengths. Any way to build momentum before the go is a huge advantage. More to learn.
Travis is my 2nd favorite AW.. Just his character is interesting. He will mouth off at you to get in your head n phyc you out. On the other hand hes a humble dude.
the "tricks" are getting the person to an inefficiently loaded position. the difference between jumping as far as your can or lunging as far as you can. See which gets you more tired.
What an amazing video travis also You have so much knowledge and information about arm wrestling to pass on to me and so many others thank you for wanting to show and pass on all of this information it would have been so amazing being in the crowd of people watching this first hand and with the people you have there they must all know the same thing that you’re on top of the world and your style of arm wrestling is amazing
@@TravisBagentUnfiltered now it would be great to get Travis in a gym or at home do workout Exercises and training videos because I love watching videos of him at the table but as well it’s hard to really watch them and learn and I want to learn as much as I can from the top ppl in the world now that I been training the last few months with Mark Mcphail in C.B Nova Scotia
The towel tip alone is worth the price of admission. I've been doing it the past two days. It's great to play with like a dog chewing on a bone; it gives a good hand and wrist pump. The white rags they sell at Costco are the perfect size.
I love Travis' commitment to accuracy: What he KNOWS he knows, but what he doesn't know, he just says "I don't know". He's not one of those guys who "knows everything". He just knows a TON.
Travis was one of the few that got me more interested in arm wrestling as a teen. He is always so entertaining but also so dam intelligent in the sport. An amazing amount of free info that anywhere else I would have to pay for. Thanks my dude you are a true legend and have helped so much in paving the road that made arm wrestling today
I like the side pressure exercise, I've been getting the hand control top roll style usually but not able to secure the win. I'm not sure exactly where I should be concentrating my energy in the last few inches of the match. Anyone know any other exercise to help secure a win?
I've been watching a shit load of arm wrestling lately and i've noticed that the people that keep their eyes on the referee to say go, ALWAYS get the best start, which makes a lot of sense because your going to see him before you hear him.
Everyone needs to share Bagent videos!! He n Devon r legendary n I support both of them! Travis gots best quotes ever..”Tell me I’m the greatest” ..”When I hear Don Underwood name, I just grab another Cupcake 🧁🤣😂🤣”
@@TravisBagentUnfiltered are you planning to meet up with Larry? I think your style may suit him better. Feel free to come to New Zealand so I can pin your left 💪😂
Like Travis, or don’t like Travis, but you CANNOT deny that he knows his armwrestling mechanics, strategy and how to win. I happen to like him. In armwrestling, being confident and focused are HUGE attributes and advantages. Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO 👍👍
Dude that causes disruption at 12:50 must have been an ass - because if you watch it back, you can tell the dude is talking and distracting TB for several minutes prior because Trav seems to lose and regain his train of thought momentarily several times. Very disrespectful to anyone, but my... Travis is an all time great. The GOAT was there, the elite MMT was there, excellent up and comers Paul Linn snd Corey West were there... talky/jokey dude could maybe learn something and follow their lead.
Where you at Travis? I REALLY wish you could get back out there! All I ever see anymore is Michael Todd and Devon Larratt... Now I dont mind seeing them everywhere, but its just not the same without Travis. We need that loudmouth to mix things up again! Arm wrestling was way more entertaining, even when Travis would lose. Even if you hate him, I bet you watched every time
same arm. I think Travis point is that if you do a 1000 of these then you won't get injured. (Gary) Not sure if this particular moment had any impact or not.
The best non- dominant hand arm wrestler , ever in my book... Don't know a righty who has a better left than Travis' right. ... Maybe Cyrplenkovs' right, maybe....
God best trash talking arm.wrestler all time. Love em hate em. Best AMERICAN left arm in history. Has won everything. Get in the grip way faster after watching this.
A few years ago I didn't like this guy. As a newby to arm wrestling. Now that ive been binge watching matches almost everyday for the last 3 years. I get Travis & his personality lol. One of my favourites now.
No better time to LIVE. To be able to witness such knowledge of veterans of our sport, sitting thousands of miles away, is such a blessing! Thank you internet. Thank you Travis. 💪💪
W I think Devon can beat this guy easy. Many can beat Travis. He is no champion why is he having a seminar on being worldclass top armwrestler ? Don't you have to be a world class champ to preach this stuff? Ha ha sure he.win a few minor titles along the way buy by no means is he even on the top 100 list is he ? I doubt he is top guy
It's funny how different arm wrestlers have different techniques and there isn't really a single best. Just watched a video of Devon a couple days ago where he's saying never to squeeze and instead make the opponent hold onto him.
Wow im amazed that you gave away all your little micro secrets well im sure not all your secrets of being a fucking beast. Much respect tho. Btw i love that fact that your from the same place as i am as well. Respect
I have a question regarding the hand thing. Do you squeeze the hand over and over in the towel or hold a constant squeeze? And do you cup the hand or Lean it back? A bit of a language barrier And small screen on the Phone.
Nice tips! Thx. Hey, at 9:04, you Hollywood casting directors, are you watching that? Look at that acting ability. Jackie Gleason could not have done it better.
Amazing seminar, great seeing the performer transform into a lecturer and have to say, with his natural geniality, he's just born to teach - such an engaging character!! Hilarious too 😁
Travis is a real class act! Amazing teacher and even apologized to everyone when he cussed in front of kids. Great human being and elite arm wrestler 💪🏻
Saw Todd avert his eyes and a raise his eyebrows at someone after Travis mentioned inverting his hand for a stronger fist. Not sure if that was a look of "He's an idiot" or "Hmmm, now we know". This was around the 7:10 to 7:13 mark of the video.

The Beast. One of my fav pullers of all time. Travis was the shit at one point. Crazy left hand.
One of the best speeches on UA-cam by any athlete in any sport.

Michael Todd in the background taking notes. Lmao
16:46 Travis apparently does a bunch of test 😂
Only if you misquote him. He said "tests."
"door knocking knuckles" you heard it here first folks
It's awesome how Mike Todd listening at you 😉
spent more on the Adderall than he made back from the video 😂😂😂 awesome info Beast 💪
