    Rock climber here. Lead climbers are endurance guys, but boulderers are explosive athletes who train a lot in max effort climbing lifts. We tend to have strong fingers and shoulders, but biceps not as strong as you'd think, and our cup strength is rarely exceptional because most climbing grips have the wrist bent slightly back

    • @scottgsarmwrestling4639
      @scottgsarmwrestling4639 2 года назад +9

      Biceps would gas out very quickly while fingers can last for a very long time. Rock climbers are usually very small guys probably the 160 lbs weight class, which means their muscles are probably small, just good finger strength an endurance, there is no carry over to arm wrestling.

      @realkylehooks 2 года назад +18

      @@scottgsarmwrestling4639 there are three primary types of climbing. Bouldering, lead, and speed climbing. The only ones with the great endurance are the lead climbers. Speed climbing is a 49ft wall that they climb in like 6 seconds. Pure explosiveness. Boulder routes are usually 5-10 moves across 16-20ft wall. These are high strength moves, not just for fingers, but for shoulders, chest, lats, abs.
      A boulderer would have quite a bit of carry over strength. You're not getting through their fingers, they'll have a great lat drag, and they'll have at least some integrity in their UCL for side pressure. When I got into arm wrestling, I did a lot better than the average 160lb beginner. Of course there's tons to learn and build from there, but there is crossover

      @@realkylehooks Fellow climber friend here, i was looking forward to type a comment like that but to my big surprise you already did it and Larry even pinned you! But if i can add something to your comment is that indeed most of the climbers are really slim, if you think about Megos and Ghisolfi, and even Schubert, thery are barely more than 50kg (110 lbs), even ondra is like 72 (160 lbs)... not a lot for armwrestling, and in bouldering (which you mentioned it) it pretty much the same, i think Woods is more or less around 70 kg. I tryed a little bit of armwrestling myself but i'm a lead climber and far weak for a sport so explosive, also a proper climber would NEVER be able to do both sports at the same time due to injury and pain in general...

    He mentions tendons. The first and last name in tendons is Thomas Topham (deceased 1749). Autopsy showed his tendons were three times normal thickness as they wanted to have light shed on why he was so outrageously powerful. Additionally, his voice was so deep as to not sound human. Weight was 196 pounds. My fav strongman.

    Awsome Interview ,Thank u Larry for Pushing this great sport into the spot light . and kudos to the Man himself JB…
    have a story to share : so once i was heading into this Cigar place to get couple of Sticks for later . to my surprise there was an Arm wrestling tournament happening right there and then . i was able to sign up …….half an hour later ,it all started . about 60-70 participants of all shapes and sizes …
    I had to do 4 matches ..as i always do in Arm wrestling Im very technical,and i know all the tricks . i know if i could beat someone by just a handshake ..
    eventually i wrestled my way to the final match ……and boom, i beat the last Man standing. i Won it all . what was exciting is i had my family with me ..my kids couldn’t believe it . heck i couldn’t believe it myself ….it definitely was a non forgettable day in march/2015.
    loved this sport since i was 9 years old ….still do , and i still like to just tease a friend or family member into a quick table bout lol.
    yes its all about tendons, technique and mental strength

    Larratt fans, Cyplenkov fans and others may disgree, sure.

    No arguments from me. John is the GOAT and probably always will remain so.

      Anyone who doubts Brzenk is the GOAT needs to only go and look up his resume, the Championships he's won, and for how many years.
      Then tell us when your arm gets tired from scrolling for so long.
      The term GOAT is handed out literally after 3 years these days.
