    • @somerandom7672
      @somerandom7672 6 лет назад +6

      Humble is great. It's also good to have a few 'personalities' in the sport as long as it's within reason. They're the ones that bring in the most attention.
      Arm wrestling is one of the most competitive sports there is - usually a few seconds of brute strength, adrenaline and testosterone. A humble psyche isn't necessarily going to give you an edge. You have to expect most meatheads to get loud and sure of themselves, ready to go. Then when you win it's hard to suddenly bottle all of that drive.
      People like John should be appreciated but not expected.

      after armwrestling about 30 guys or so, his rotator cuff and his muscles would be worn out. John would have thrashed that guy if he was first in line.
      plus,
      armwrestling is more about the density of the forearm. John's forearms look much more vascular and dense.

      @@Dan91 he may be a professional arm wrestler, however that doesn't mean he can't break his arm. In arm wrestling there is a rule that your shoulder should not go below your elbow as it places your bones in a spiral position and hence easy to break. You can even see the ref warn him for this... so yea that's my 2 cents reply 4 years later

      Nah....he is a professional arm wrestler, using a fairly common technique, called the flop-wrist press.

But he might have suffered a bit of a slight injury which might nag him for a few weeks, just because his match was so long and tough.

    Um detalhe que vejo muita gente não levando em consideração, é que o John foi contra mais 50 pessoas nesse evento, com um tempo de descanso mínimo. E entre essas pessoas, haviam competidores de Armwrestling, e isso obviamente cansa muito. Tendo isso em mente, acredito que em uma luta única, Brzenk ganharia o strongman em um único hook, sem muito esforço.

  • @aasroyal8820

    Superb example of managing the opposing force. John uses the strength of his opponent (technique for heavier than him) to overthrow him. He lets his opponent get tired in the first moments and then begins a gentle ascent when the pressure is released. Then he braces the arm of his opponent who can only suffer. and as soon as his opponent gives up his arms, he has only to exert pressure to win the match. Sublime! intelligence, strength and humility (knowing one's physical strength in relation to one's adversaries)

  • @mikkelolsen6497
    @mikkelolsen6497 9 лет назад +10

    John is pretty amazing, and the man he beats in the end (Lars Rørbakken) is a strongman with history of pro-level armwrestling as a super heavy-weight (100+ kg) where John is in a weight class below.
    It´s also worth noting that John cheats a little bit (elbow foul at around 3:55)
