The 21 Power Levels of Armwrestling Explained - Where do you Rank?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- How much stronger than you are the Elite Armwrestlers? As a Beginner, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a world champion, an entry level pro or even a very strong amateur. They would all feel like a stonewall to you, which is why I've made this video. There are numerous levels to the sport of Armwrestling, so this might put things into perspective a bit. This ranking system is based on my personal experience, match results and a lot of speculation. There is no need to be offended if you don't agree. Now let's get back to training.

Wow, that just shows how gifted Ermes is for the sport. He didn't even train and just from picking up a bit of technique from sparring with his father as a teenager but was able to the #1 guy in Austria.
Didn't even train 😂😂😂 bro no one gets to that level without training.
Ermes is Italian not Austrian 😊
@@harshitnirwan4651 Sorry i meant to say he was able to beat the #1 guy in Austria* because in video talks about how he as a skinny 18 year old was able to beat the #1 guy in Austria.
@@DisasterRasta His Dad is also a good arm wrestler so when Ermes was a teenager he would spar with him and learn techniques but his only training was table time and he didn't do it very much and it was more of just an activity he did with his dad. He was basically a stick figure at 18 and just destroyed the #1 guy in Austria.
@@DisasterRasta Yeah lol i think its pre Italian Pasta to be more precise
You clearly forgot level 22, the one and only true master and God of Armwrestling, Ryan "Blue" Bowen
Ryan "Blue" Bowen vs Levan "The Twink" Saginashvili on December 2023??? PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!
No leval on top
@@zuxta its a joke
Let's be real; he's a 8-9
Now you gotta add a tier between Ermes and levan for Devon after his win over Ermes
Devon + stem cells vs Levan ? I wonder if he can win, he did beat Ermes 6-0 , so you would expect him to be better than 2-4 vs Levan! Hmmmm
It's possible that he thinks Devon has less "power" than Ermes. If this was a skill teir list though, he would lose all credibility if Devon wasn't #1
@@tayaoj4 he beat ermes 3-0 bro
Ermes still has a lot to go. Devon is on the dawn of his AW carreer. For much that I love Devon, this is the truth.
After EvW12 this video has aged well.
Its a fun conversation because Devon will never get close to challenging Levan like Ermes did. Devon is just such a bad matchup for Ermes. Ermes lost in every single setup, Devon is too good at cheating. If Devon gifted Ermes the better setup he would pin Devon Im sure. Ermes has the stronger cup, stronger pronation, stronger backpressure, stronger bicep. Devon beats him bc he has stronger rise and longer leverage and bigger hand.
Very cool. Trying hard to get tonthat Matt Mask level.
No way, you're being modest, everyone knows you're level 22 :) that means when you're sick with fever Levan might beat you...
need to past the women level first tho, good luck
Ew
You are not on the level of the skinny old version of ermes, delusional
this is what real content looks like lazy bowen
the reason why young ermes was so good is because he was a blue collar worker, armwrestler and had good genetics. he was beating krasimir when he still looked like a kid
Totally agree. Awesome content. Best I have seen in a while.
I agree, however I also believe there are more levels in between both the construction worker, the women, you, and the top guy at your club.
Yeah i thought so too while making this, hard to tell
@Daniel's Armwrestling calisthenic guys are at least a level ahead other gym dudes
@@WhatUlookinAtbruv calisthenic and climbers too, they have some amazing finger strength.
@@WhatUlookinAtbruv so in armwrestling calisthenics guys are stronger than gym guys?
@wojack827 Yeah, mostly, it's because of the type of movement they practice.
I subscribed to your channel now only thanks to this video. THIS is proper arm wrestling content, the real deal, entertainment and good analysis!
Thanks!
You are so underrated. Great video but I wasnt expecting you to use leauge of legends ranks in this video lol
Spot on about the construction workers. Even a house-painter once humbled me at armwrestling
Try a furniture mover.
Stripping paint from a wall is very hard work. I don't do it for a living, but I can see why someone who does would be incredibly strong.
@@mattc825my step dad’s a furniture mover. Sure I’m not great at arm wrestling but I’m probably level 3. But he’s just way too strong
Hahaha honestly I love this scale, it’s so damn appropriate 😂.
I think athletes, based off their weight category.
Should be split into two sub categories of Athletecism and Skill.
These two categories have 4 levels: novice, amateur, pro and elite
Athletecism is comprised of:
-strength
-endurance
-stamina
-flexibility
-mobility
-agility
-speed
Skill:
-experience
-training time (muscle memory)
-understanding of the sport
So you can essentially have guys with pro level Athletecism yet novice level skill.
Keep in mind for a competitive strength sport like arm wrestling, the amount of skill you can display is bottlenecked/limited by the strength variable you have. You may be super skilled but if the other guy is too strong it won’t matter how skilled you are.
So there are definitely levels to this.
feels like this is a response you'd get from chatgpt
In Armwrestling less flexibility and mobility you have, is better lmao
Wouldnt consider myself a fan of arm wrestling but this video is heat 🤣💀 you should do more powerscaling videos on different subjects but in this same style of meme, subbed
GUESS WHAT BUD? DEVON IS #2 NOW!!!
Yeah
To Levan I assume?
WWWWWWWW
Ongarbayev looked very impressive against Irakli, I honestly think that a 115KG Ongarbayev could give trouble to 115KG Prudnik. And also Revaz destroyed Dave.
but you have to consider that 100% revaz wouldnt even feel levan, only ryan would be a good match for him
bro Dave is much much stronger, he was probably injured or something
True. Hard to say how strong revaz is tho. Dave was still fked from Vitaly match for months and he has all kinds of injuries. He’s on the downward slope almost 50
I love these kind of videos, keep em coming man
Some people have a natural propensity at firing certain muscles compared to other people. That coupled with BIGGER joints and hands, differentiates a normal person from an abnormal.
If you anatomically looked at Levan's physique, you'd see he shares similarities with Worlds Strongest Men competitors. He has massive joints/hands and has better muscle fibre enhancement.
Bigger wrench wins when all else is equal.
pumping years of roids do that
@@falco2296 HGH on top of genetics.
he also pops hgh like candy
And then you have young skinny Ermes. Looks like he barely even eats let alone lifts, but totally overwhelmed Austria's #1 guy, who totally overwhelmed this 100kg national champ who made this video.
Awesome video. You are talented for this!
Id consider myself a 5.5 im a fairly competent amateur but im not sure i could beat Barbora. Ive been lucky enough to pull with Angie Rose and felt decently comfortable but Barbora and Gabi are something else. I bet the two of them could beat even lower level pro guys
can he beat a Gorilla tho
My cousin Marcos can beat a gorilla, he most certainly did
@@zenmaster775nah
i ve always thought of armwrestling in levels, Nice job in making this video. I think of every level like 10% strength, and as you said, 20% strength difference is mismatch. I m around 12 on your scale, btw. Looking forward to your next vids :)
Could you beat the OP. I think he would beat you idk maybe 7 or 8
so your a proffesional competitor and you have insane genetics
That video is so good and accurate enough. I enjoyed it. Thanks :)
Best armwrestling ranking and level video!
You were so accurate. Great video
That was so well done and entertaining, and I totally see where you're coming from. I'm surprised how much I agreed with. Though I might say that Levan is level 22 or 23 at this point, not counting his current wrist injury.
Well done. I have no issues with your reasoning at all.
This was exactly what I was looking for, I’m (6’8” 225lbs) just getting into armwrestling and have only pulled against my dad (6’5” 240lbs) so far and really wanted to see where I ranked on the totem pole lol. Ive been doing roofing/concrete work for the last 10 years so I know I fit in the genetically gifted construction worker tier but after seeing young Ermes go in there and clean house it just makes me want to try my luck at competing 😂
Nice job bro. You need to bulk though. You're a stick at 225 if you're 6'8"
@@Anonymous-jf2gy I’ve been bulking since I made that comment, it’s always been really hard for me to put on weight and keep it but I’m up to 240 now.
@@ILootStandingStill Nice job, keep going
@@hermajesty3024 just turned 27
@@ILootStandingStill Did you defeat your dad?
With all respect to women: just imagine how vulnerable they are if a strongest woman is only at rank 6
Video got viral bro. You got success ❤🎉
Level 23- Travis. You have to tell him he's the greatest as you're losing
Great video, puts it all in perspective
Great video
Very good job on this video!
Really great video 😊
Thanks for the info
How did I just discover this video! Well done sir new sub!
I my opinion Levan is overrated, for his weight of 190kg he isn‘t that strong.
Look what a 135kg Ermes does to him.
Or what a Genadi do to him back in the days with his flop wrist press…
Love this content. Much better than some good old lazy concrete elbow or steroid pancakes or whatever their names are. Lazy content making videos on every small uninteresting thing.
Maybe get a better mic but I subbed. Keep up brother
interesting video, but after last match betwen devon and ermes there needs to be upgrade to these "levels".

Nah that's wild bro, did you just pick up the ranking from your house backyard?
i think prime denis > prime levan
You do realize this is a bs rankings, right
@@InsomniaxOP Prime Denis would lose badly to Levan on the right, lefty would be interesting...
@@kasparov9944 i think ur new to this sport
Legend Says It, We’ve Only Got Started.
You forgot the Ultimate Level, the level of the legendary blue!! Sir Ryan Bowen!
Awesome video brother!
Nice list!
Hahah loved the video, great work!
And what a fail, you put Morozov TWO FREAKING LEVELS above Prudnik? What a shitpost
Lol yeah ik
Prudnik is the weirdest guy to rank
Morozov would destroy Prudnik now
@@yujirohanma6650 there's absolutely no evidence for that and you know it
@@DantGryet Beat Chaffee? 🤔 you really think Prudnik would beat Chaffee don't you? 😂😂🤡
@@yujirohanma6650 Maybe, maybe not, styles make matches as you know.. but with a cringe anime profile name you're no doubt just another casual I have no time to educate. Watch more and learn, little man. 🎤👊
That was very fun to watch and I agree with you on that 💪🏽 maybe im at lvl 3 or 4
I'm either level 2 or 3. I've been training in an arm wrestling club for a whole year as a teenager. I don't want to put myself too high on the list because of that.
So Larratt now is at level 20?
19
@@paulphoenix6512 how can he be level 19 after being ermes?
pure gold, that song at hermes raid boss hahahaha
Very interesting!
Great videos bro 🐐
Current denis sure, prime denis is more arguably at same level as levan, also in my opinion devon has levelled up to more like 19.5, and if devon vs ermes match is a close one then he is obviously level 20
We gotta remember the levan in the ermes match was a watered down version of the levan in the devon match as seen by his weight and the difference in weight of lifts done in preparation like the bicep curl
Cool video. Refreshing to see something original instead of regurgitating something on a recent podcast
I was proud of being level 4-5. But what tf man I have way farther to go 😂
just u wait once post-poutine devon shows up, post-pasta ermes will wish he ate spaghetti trenbologneze instead
Good video. You should put here Ryan BOAT or whisperer. Stay strong love armwrestling
Devon above Ermes now tho... beat him quite comfortably in the last match up
Putting levan oxygen saginashvili as infinite power in thumbnail! 😂
I recognize the music in the background from Exiled Kingdoms. It was driving me nuts at first
That’s actually a pretty accurate list. You deffo know what you’re talking about
Well devon shaked this list, maybe gonna shake it more
that was so well done :D
I appreciate the Critical Role Fight music you added😂
I am agree with you in the most, but John Brzenk, Genadi and Denis Cyplenkov are above of Ermes. And Levan is really King and GOAT🇬🇪🇬🇪👑🔥
greatest of all time? for the short time he's been around and doing like 1 match a year because it fits his roidcycle? in 5 years he's completely off the map, destroyed by roids. look at the match vs gasparini, levan hugged that oxygen tank at the end so much, i thought he's married to it. pathetic. brzenk can be called a goat.
Genadi lost against Ermes, Bzenk is great for his age but ain't as strong as Ermes, Cyplenkov is weaker today then his prime and needs an hip surgery so he is out of the game.
just a brilliant and funny video! subscribed 🤗
Nice content 👍
arm wrestling need more videos like this
Sheesh, I train pretty regularly and have competed in a few tournaments, but putting it into this perspective, I'd place myself at level 4, or maybe 5 at best.
At 5’7 220lbs I once beat a guy that was 6’3 450lbs I would put myself at level 5.
Ok.
Ok.
Ok.
Ok.
Ok.
Great video 💪🏼😊
Great video 👍 loved it 🤝
Great insightful video! 👍👍
wow, what a great video! earned yourself a sub!
At what level prime Denis would have been?
My guess is level 21
Imo prime denis, peak pushkar, prime chaffee all in Ermes tier, 20
@yujirohanma6650 I'll put prime pushkar and prime dave at level 20
Where does people like Khaleed, Larry wheels, Schoolboy rank at?
All of them between 10 and 13 i guess
What I would give to see prime John Brenzk vs Levan.
You would have been thoroughly disappointed. Levan wouldn't have felt him at all.
@@datbunneh3671 You clearly dont know anything about prime Devon. He 5-0’d Denis in his near prime. He had beaten monsters much bigger and more genetically gifted than Levan. Richard Lupke and Cleve Dean. Do some research.
That's a really interesting way of putting it. I'd probably put myself generously at a 4.
I don't think I even stand in this hierarchy with my 5inches biceps 😭😭😭
Ermes got completely destroyed by Devon. So you can pretty much eat your order there
Young Ermes was crazy.
That comparison is why i wanted to make this vid, just insane
Nobody must forget prime Dennis "pulling a truck with a armwrestling movement" Cyplenkov
Bro you just saw that video and made an assumption , I can name name atleast 10 more armwrestler who can do the same , its doesnt even translate in the table .
Prime denis would be level 20 or 21 right?
Level 25 Denis 2018.
Nah the strongest human in armwrestling is Ermes. Levan has left his humanity long ago
Beautiful
I believe there are theoretically possible levels way above even Levan.
Just imagine a natural giant like Andre the Giant with giant bone structure and hands, perhaps even make him a bit bigger and robust to max out that stat.
Then give him that defect Oleg Zhok got from birth with the condition Jeff Dabe has.
Then make him take all the best PEDs for 10 years with optimal armwrestling training and optimal diet.
What you would get is something straight out of a comic book. Weirdly shaped hands the size of a man's torso with forearms the size of the biggest bodybuilder's leg.
He would be so many power leves above anything we ever seem.
Even taking a guy very similar to Andre the Giant would be interesting to see for the sport.
Yeah now imagine pig's flying.
@@9999-k9q This is speculation about what is possible given enough time and genetic lotteries and flying pigs aren't.
Pigs could not fly even with advanced future genetic engineering.
Right now at 5 want to reach 7
Will keep u updated
Lol #16 John brzenk. Greatest arm wrestler of all time.
Bro, you clearly forgot "Coach Ray" on level 22''....
In some match someone won and some other match someone will win, can't rank them properly because some guy skip some arm wrestlers. Some are active, some are not.
Gasparini was totally destroyed by Devon lol
And you’re so wrong about Brzenk
He deserved to be on the top 👍
I would put Prudnik to the lower super heavyweight guys
Yeah i thought a lot about it aswell
I can’t even beat Barbora
Ryan Bowen should be level 23 :)
Haha.
Awesome !
also I wonder what is akimbo rank there ?
why is irakli in the same level as yordan when theres a sparring video of him no diffing yordan?? Also irakli gave prudnik a rlly hard time so i believe they on the same level, especially ongarbaev
Tbh , i am lvl 22, gm and challenger tier are lucky i wasnt invited to any competitions
very good video
