MountainMan HuntingFilms Absolutely spot on, he is a really nice guy, but also one of the strongest men you could ever meet. His arm wrestling skills are the stuff of legend! Jesus, the guy was in "over the top". In his fifties he is still better than 99% of the world! In my opinion, the best arm wrestling champion of all time, period.
John is such a clean and composed arm wrestler. His form is so methodical and lethal. No tricks, no desperation. He makes no excuses either when he loses even though he could. Very admirable.
@@BlakeGibbons That match happened in 2010, Cyplenkov was already well into his enormous size and strength. I don't think the difference was as much that Cyplenkov was worse than his 2018 form, but rather that John Brzenk was so much younger and more conditioned.
My favourite thing about John is how if you didn’t know him and just saw him on the street, he just looks like someone’s mild mannered dad in fairly decent shape. Lol and he destroys these genetically engineered looking dudes. That’s just plain cool.
@ManFromMaine he had a healthy amount of loses even when young. Lupkes , Ron Bath , Gary Goodridge , Walker had wins over him. However all things considered he is the goat imo
That was almost a decade ago too.. Dennis has certainly improved and become stronger and better than he was. Shouldn't forget the context (regardless of whether you think John might still win today. Or.. not quite today, since he's currently retired, but still). Edit: That also wasn't John at his best either, but still.
That’s because he is genetically gifted & also a great thinker & tactician of the sport & has obviously never abused roids or his career would have been much shorter & he would not be challenging Devon at age 57 . If he had of used peds in the amounts some of his opponents have , apart from injury , I doubt he would have ever been beaten in a single match .
I loved seeing Denis's reaction when he did finally beat john. You could tell how much he really looked up to him and how much it meant to him. Literally jumping for joy. John is a great inspiration for people in this sport and others.
+LoGan Lodhaseng His abilities are entirely based on physics, not "Pure strength, brute force". He always understood how to position his mass so that superior strength and brute force couldn't beat him. Just look at the size difference in most of his opponents, who were larger and stronger, but didn't understand how to transfer their body weight. :)
+45ge rrr I'm sorry, but where in my comment did i say you can transfer your body weight to your arm? I'm talking about the positioning of the entire body, not just the arm. That's a strawman you're arguing with there, buddy, and i don't appreciate being corrected for something i never said. The best no matter the size of their forearms have always positioned their mass below the table in order to win or Brzenk would have never been able to beat someone like Cyplenkov.
There's got to be an "ahhh crap!" moment that runs through your head when the ref says go and you pull with everything you have and John just stops all momentum. What a beast.

Tremendous respect for this Legend who’s probably one of the best athletes ever of all times ! John Brzenk Was king from the age of 18 years old (first world title), ‘till over his 50’s, still among the best in the world... no one in any sport ever done that.
What I like the most about John Brzenk is that he was not some giant monster, just a solid as a rock badass who didn't try any kings move bull shit just a straight up Powerhouse. Greatest of all time.
Absolutely , great overview of John & his abilities. I love the way he goes about it , no using the table as a lever with his feet , no pulling from under the table , no pulling from over the table where some opponents almost head butt him they are that far across , no cherry picking opponents , no making a big fuss & screaming out , clearly has not abused roids or hgh otherwise he wouldn’t be able to challenge Devon at age 57 . I think some people just don’t like him because he doesn’t have the “charisma” of Devon , but that’s what a lot of older fans love about him , NO BULLSHIT FACTOR. Your last line says it all , the greatest .
He played in the Over the Top movie. And that was 1987. So what I mean by that is, Brzenk was already a legend back in 87. By the way... I was born in 74... and I watched Over the Top when I was 13 years old. You have NO IDEA how epic this was!
At his peak nobody can come close, and it’s amazing how he beaten so many bigger and taller men with so much ease. John u are a born arm wrestler, you many be beaten few times but that was way past your prime..you are the best by far..blessed you champ!
It isnt strength. Look at how he twists his opponents wrists and nullify their size power and confidence. Brzenk wins with skill 90% of the time. Strength? No way. Dennis is stronger by 40%. Hands down. The weights dennis lifts make devon and brzenk cringe. Dennis is the strongest arm wrestler of all time hands down. No contest on strength.
@@CHMPro You clearly don't know anything about arm wrestling. Twisting your opponents wrist like that still requires strength in the cupping part of the forearm. Why make such a dumb comment? and 40% Stronger? Are you serious lmao if Denis was 40% stronger than John he would of smashed his arm through the table
This man was born to armwrestling, he's an exemple of power, sheer will and humility.. a true sportsman and an athlete of legend.. no, he is the LEGEND.
Is nice to see John inviting his opponent to try and break his defense. I think it's really respectful. No mind games, no shit talking, no head shaking like Larrat like to do. Truly the GOAT!
Absolute legend. John is made differently then everyone else. His muscle fibers are special with a complement of knowledge and skill. I think Larry wheels has that same recipe.
Especially for me John Berzenk is a legend, because he was winning strongest and unbeatable guys out there over and over again and spent his whole life in arm wrestling. His dedication to this sport is unbelievable. If John is participating in competition you always have to be careful, because you never know what he is capable of, maybe it will be another impression)
I grew up watching him. We were an AW family and catching him on Wide World of Sports or on cable was a great treat when we couldn’t drive to see him in person. Humble guy, always willing to help, took time to help me with my technique after I was wheelchair bound and was participating in disabled AW. Like the rest of us he just got old lol. I’m a huge Devon Laratt fan but I always appreciated John’s lack of shit talking and just letting his arm do the work.
Probably one of the few men Denis respected. I think he knew he got spared when John showed him a gentleman's move, Denis arm was in an awkward position and could have broke if John pressed down as it was, but he changed the grip and angle thus saving Denis.
@@maligonako12 u think? In his prime? I have to admit im a noob here, and can very well be wrong.. My answer was totally based on whats logic reason in my mind. But same time one year ago i knew nothing about armwrestling and The name larrat was just i recognozed from my feed nothing else.... But! And this is a huge but.. I have been in my teens a world class powerlifter and top 3 benchpresser. So, im not a stranger to strength. In fact, very confident that i know my shit about this. Its possible that i am no expert, but its not possible to convince me that im not. At least in big picture. By that said, strength is something that takes time. Yes You can exceed to extrem levels. And in that year span. You probably is going to do most strength gains and then after 25-30 its gonna be a slow process in General speak. At least for elite.. In optimal conditions peak is gonna be around 40-45 +- 3years ish.. So its very sad if You a Right about this.. Becuse brznk should be about twice as strong when he hit 40 years and same when it Comes to techniqe. Becuse experience, Right? Also The competion just seems way better year after year? In my opinion based on my piot knowledge 80s as also 90s armwrestling was just weak in a strength perspective.. Still is if You ask me.. And im sure pritty sure im Right.. Just look at larrat strength wise, his done no strength progress for how long?? Its pathetic and just a Wonder he reach that level of strenght that he is... Becuse his teachings dosnt really work. Want evidens? No one, and I mean no one trains like him. Every day practice just dont work. Try it your self, You Will only get weaker. Holistic movements max. Strenght traning is optimal Every pt Every other week, any elite powerlifter or strongman agrees on this.. Promise You... So how do i explaine larrats success?? Well knowledge wise, i sware and can vet my life in that he is a complete retard.. Its not that hos method have any points. Becuse it does. Overall its just weak.. Really weak and narrow.... To become a elite athlete, your traning philosophy should be broad. Ofc main focus should be where its most needed. There for full rom is just not very common and You often ser static holds.. But larrat focus like 95% strength training in critic positions... Same method over and over again. And this training style only takes You so far and its doomed to soon hit a platue and and cant exceed anymore. Most common between 5 months to 2-3 years Max. Then You hit your self made proficy, The platue! Which usually seperates elites from amatures.. Which makes larrat just a wierd freak of nature. Om convinced larrats genes is someyhing else. Ive seen this before but its so rare. I mean my genes are better then most. But larrat have genes that is close to not even human.. If he just had The Right training and not that hippie *i do my own stuff based on just crap style of training* The he always done. He would exceed brznk level.. By far!! How i know this? Becuse larrat trains like an armature, and really dosnt do strenght training. Yet he is one of the strongest guys out there.. Larrat method is more staminq then anything else. Thats also explains why he has The best stamina out there, by far!! Everyday training is someyhing marathon runners do.. NOT 100 meter explosive sprinters!! Never! So, strenght genes is just wow. Here You have this dude training aerobic and strong like a elite powerlifter. Imaginge if he trained like a powerlifter?? Its sick! Just sick!!!!
Yeah johns wrist techniquez killed dennis wrist and blood flow. It was about to burst and snap. Did you see how brzenk changed position to prevent dennis wrist from snapping because dennis was not stopping and brzenk didnt wanna snap it especially snapping a young guy who has a long future ahead in the sport . John is truly a gentlemen. He could have been evil and just yanked it.
Seeing how happy denis was to win one round against John , jumping around like a schoolboy , I think it’s plausible to say that denis would have abused roids just to try & beat John.
John is the face of the sport. He knows when he has won, he knows when he is beat, but more importantly he ALWAYS shows such respect for his opponent. No fucking trash talking, no "I'm the alpha" type crap, just a man doing what he loves. Tis a shame age is a thing, because I'd love to watch him compete till my time has come. Nice to see he's still doing well but
Just remember having a lot of muscles doesn't mean you have the strength to match those muscles. John has great technique with astronomical wrist and forearm strength. His top roll is legendary!
un tipo pequeño ganando a tipos enormes. Eso es motivador, es heroico. y gana sin hacer movimientos, sin desplazarse, sin buscar ventaja. Un grande, el mas grande de ese deporte.
People always want to say Cyplenkov was new to the sport. Yet he was good enough to be the #1 pick to go against John at the time. That tells me Cyplenkov was good enough to kick ass all over Europe at the time.
Not disrespecting John in any way but when you say “it’s hard to find entertaining matches when he wiped the floor with everyone” but what about when Devon 6-0ed him in a super match? And Matt mask won a pull or two in their super match, which was more than most of these guys
I'm 50 an seen a lot of great athletes. Not just the best arm wrestler I believe the best athlete ever. His longevity is incredible, his undeniable power (left or right) with a absurd level of mental toughness to withstand the power attack of men much greater in size & under this kind of duress still control & use his tactical skill & power to execute wins in a prolific number of top level events again and again is truly up there or standing above a lot of great athletes.
John is the greatest armwrestler of all time. his accomplishments are incredible. very humble guy too
MountainMan HuntingFilms Absolutely spot on, he is a really nice guy, but also one of the strongest men you could ever meet. His arm wrestling skills are the stuff of legend!

Dodger Hahahahahaha
Larratt is better...notice how they don’t show any super matches with him and Devon.....just one pin that he got on him 😂
Evan Oliver No John beat him twice in 2005 and in 2015. Larrat only won in 2008 when John was in bad shape.
Dodger Even Larratt thinks you're wrong. There's no-one in this sport that doesn't think of John as a legend.
John is such a clean and composed arm wrestler. His form is so methodical and lethal. No tricks, no desperation. He makes no excuses either when he loses even though he could. Very admirable.
@Andrei Andrei2 He pretty much was injured most of the time he lost. John never admitted it directly. You are just a hater.
True
@Andrei Andrei2 When he was not injured he kicked their asses. And you know that. Brzenk is old since 2004 Lol.
@Andrei Andrei2 When you are older. Injuries are coming into play.
@Andrei Andrei2 Of course you are hating. You are disrespecting the greatest Armwrestler.
Just remember that you didn't beat John Brzenk, TIME beat John Brzenk.
Wise words sir
He barely lost to alexy voevoda right after he tore his bicep in a previous match.
time? He could still beat the best RIGHT NOW
thats how it is with every sport

So the ONLY close matches where from when he was well into his 40's, and always going up against bigger and younger opponents. Brznenk is the G.O.A.T.
yeah only guys that gave him problem from his class were Johny Walker and Todd Hutchings as far as i know, he is a true legend

John is the face of the sport. He knows when he has won, he knows when he is beat, but more importantly he ALWAYS shows such respect for his opponent. No fucking trash talking, no "I'm the alpha" type crap, just a man doing what he loves. Tis a shame age is a thing, because I'd love to watch him compete till my time has come. Nice to see he's still doing well but
2:56 wtf he starts before "go!" arsen liliev cheater
3:18 He shakes his head like he's got it and John nods like "Do it then." Lol
Man prime brzenk is a BEAST. Omg. Dennis is one scary dude.
Not just the goat of arm wrestling for achievements but weight and age disadvantage vs anyone what a LEGEND🤘💪
지겹게 본 경기들이지만 봐도봐도 너무 멋있다... 존은 정말 세계 최고 유일의 암레슬러였다...
pound for pound, John Brzenk is king of the table, then and now I met him in the late 80s in Barrie Ontario.
Over 500 world titles.... GOAT
Freak of nature!!!! Awesome background music!!!!!
I thought larratt was the baddest, then i discovered this guy... sheesh 😒 this is inhumanly strong 💪🏻
Technique more importantly
Just remember having a lot of muscles doesn't mean you have the strength to match those muscles. John has great technique with astronomical wrist and forearm strength. His top roll is legendary!
Legend!!!!!
never seen a more humble person, in terms of attitude
I am so proud to be an American.
God bless John and the U.S!!
I finally noticed one of his secrets he never stops watching the hands
He is the Greatest Arm Wrestler Ever
The God!
un tipo pequeño ganando a tipos enormes. Eso es motivador, es heroico. y gana sin hacer movimientos, sin desplazarse, sin buscar ventaja. Un grande, el mas grande de ese deporte.
He is so humble
People always want to say Cyplenkov was new to the sport. Yet he was good enough to be the #1 pick to go against John at the time. That tells me Cyplenkov was good enough to kick ass all over Europe at the time.
you won't see john making elbow fouls...he's just too good..pure armwreastling
Could not argue w/Mr. Brzenk as #1!!!
Most people attack in bursts. Some how John can lock his arm and apply constant force, which makes it look easy.
every body does that
El mejor de todos los tiempos.
Fuiste y serás por siempre, lo mejor que este deporte.
3:20 Liliev: Noooope
3:28 Breznk: YEP!
Proud to have the same birthday John 👍
John bzrenk is like muhammad ali in boxing
Just kills me when John decides to pull through and just does it..💪😎👍
He's old now but still kicking ass.
he retired im the end of 2015.
Brzenk . Lord Almighty. This guy is phenomenal.
Dennis cyplenkov used kings move on 4:34 lol AHAHAH
@03:52 John breznk to Denis:'DO YOU BLEED'.. proceeds to pulverize him..John the GOAT
Not disrespecting John in any way but when you say “it’s hard to find entertaining matches when he wiped the floor with everyone” but what about when Devon 6-0ed him in a super match? And Matt mask won a pull or two in their super match, which was more than most of these guys
u talk about exception .
a legend, a myth
Even beat Chernobyl Roids GH baby Dennis lmao
Good technique coupled with super strong joints and tendons. Gifted
Alien like strength. Not from this world. Good thing he finally slowed down after 50. Or he would have been captured and put in a lab for experiments.
John "the hydraulic press" Brzenk
Brzenk is so good that he made his one of his opponents punch himself in the face 2:50
I'm 50 an seen a lot of great athletes. Not just the best arm wrestler I believe the best athlete ever. His longevity is incredible, his undeniable power (left or right) with a absurd level of mental toughness to withstand the power attack of men much greater in size & under this kind of duress still control & use his tactical skill & power to execute wins in a prolific number of top level events again and again is truly up there or standing above a lot of great athletes.
Thats the Polish gene. Same as Pudzianowski, Kieliszkowski and Sebastian "The Faceless" Kot.
Nowadays at his age still got some serious power, a beast Brzenk
How the hell did he beat denis!
Because he's the goat lol
This was denis 2009, denis 2018 beat brznk like nothing
