A deviation from the popular back pressure lifts… and how it has more carryover #armwrestling #biceps #diet #grip #natty #natural #strength #truth #motivation
Nice vid. It astounds me how a large number of community including high level pullers do non sensical measures of lifts or have such difficulty looking at someone else lift and trying to replicate it
I started doing this in the middle of last year, both statically and low-weight high-volume pulses, and it has had incredible benefits toward strengthening my center table strength! I feel like this is the most important lift for me since my natural greatest strength is quite open and almost always puts me into the defensive posture on every tough match.
I love this, what devon does is very specific to him and he started doing it after 25 years of competing, it is very specific to his open style. You are so right for most of armwrestler the key is to be tight at the center
Great points, it's hard for my ego to tighten up my form and drop weight after progressing with steadily sloppier form. Had this realization the other day too
Quality notes Rob, picturing John pulling the way you said was actually exactly the way he does it every time on the table. Even I personally noticed lifting with my shoulder being aligned with my elbow and wrist felt more stable and stronger, not saying I'm a pro or anything but now I know why that is the case since you've broke it down. Appreciate it man that it also incorporates a lot more muscles in the back, rear delt and the pecs. Thanks for the good laughs also 9:20 😂
Glad you’re posting these lifts that help armwrestlers instead of the trash you see out there, I have told my training partners that the Devon pronation lift really only translates to how he pulls and it’s not something everyone should be focusing on
Man I really like these videos on training. This stuff is gold.. after all you didn't become a world level arm wrestler by accident... Thanks for sharing..
I can vouch for this posture as i myself trying to lift in this posture since couple of months and my shoulder seems to be more intact and compact with the whole arm and elbow connection This angle really works for Armwrestling Great video ❤
Thank you, RVJ, for all of this info! I have all of these issues at the start. I'm glad these workouts will translate to the table. I'm going to do them and put them to the test. Awesome, thank you so much!
Oh yeah Rob! This is all we need to know about training, always mimic the angles and the motion when we are on the table. This is a great example and i think is one of the best explanations about the correct form of training for armwrestling. Thanks a lot brother! 💪
Another great video dude. I was thinking about getting a longer belt today, and here you are talking and demonstrating with one. You also made a very valid point about the start off in a match, and how important it is. I think the most important things in arm wrestling is the post. How concrete is your elbow, how strong is your riser and grip. And how well you can lock your entire arm for the start off.
Those are important if you apply it that way there’s always a yin for Yang and countermoves… But being solid and fundamentally sound, will take you very far
Very nice video. I love that you took something Devon made popular and improved upon it. I’ve often wondered why Devon trains such an opened up angle, since (for me at least) I feel strongest when I can control center like you were saying.
Thanks Rob! Would you mind doing a video on you weekly training routine,like all the exercisies you do,reps,sets,rest time and recovery Would be greatly appreciated!
I think that’s a video series. I’ll put together basically what I think is the best for general strength, and keeping it simplified and not getting overwhelmed.
For real though, you'll see guys trying to hit certain numbers on a particular lift, and just to make sure they hit that number they're aiming for they will completely change their form so it ends up not being a real test of strength gained. We should try to maintain the same form regardless of weight....but sometimes our ego gets in the way.
I agree pullers like Devon fall into a different category. He probably thinks it’s hilarious he has all these top pullers copying him.. little do they know his exercise is tailor made for his pulling style
People fail to realize that Devons lift is tailored to him because he knows hes tall and has a long arm. If you are short, dont even waste your time training that way.
Honestly, when it gets a little warmer, I gotta clean out my shop and it’s been cold as balls… So I got a little free time and I get the shop cleaned out coming into the spring probably
I've been doing hammer curls like this in the gym leaning forward with my arm locked and the other arm supporting up against something in the way that you're showing. feels like everything is loaded on the bicep this way and forces you to lock in tight. I try to not let my hand separate below my chin while my head is forward
what is the BEST way to build cupping strength? or i shouldnt say best cuz everyone is different, but what handle is the best for it? cone handle or simple dumbell? wrist wrench?
Good video Rob. Just have to say, that don't feel obligated in revealing all your training to the community. Haters still like to watch you at the end of the day. Since also everyone is so concerned about how the athlete they follow trains without giving proper thought to training methods suitable for them. You like your analogies and stories. Presenting your training methods / ways of thought that way will at least get the hate watchers off their asses and make them work for that information by thinking and not feed those who just lazily pick up advice from their favourite armwrestler. On the other hand what pisses me off is when people are competing and go and rest in their corner and there's guys holding their hands and offering them advice on how to figure stuff out. Figure it out yourself. There are only 2 people armwrestling! Not to mention again that just might cloud your judgement on developing a better gameplan suitable you specifically.
Yeah… I agree. I almost don’t make these videos because it was my trial and error with critical thought. My channel is small and almost not worth the post…well not worth it in reality
Does this lift fit better with your strengths? If this really is a better lift, then it's only logical that Devon should switch to this lift he wants to get better faster, as opposed to continuing with the lifts he's been doing.
@@RobVigeantRVJ Maybe a better question would be should Devon add this to his lifts, rather than replace his lifts with it? Continue to work his strengths, but also accumulate the strengths you brought up in regards to this one.
Nice vid. It astounds me how a large number of community including high level pullers do non sensical measures of lifts or have such difficulty looking at someone else lift and trying to replicate it
I agree 100%
when Voyevoda did the "pronation" lift
You must be a smart guy ☝🏻🙈🤓
@@gigachad-rx3zv You are correct
Great video! 💪🏼 I always wanted a video on how to win center or exercises to strengthen your center-table strength.
I started doing this in the middle of last year, both statically and low-weight high-volume pulses, and it has had incredible benefits toward strengthening my center table strength! I feel like this is the most important lift for me since my natural greatest strength is quite open and almost always puts me into the defensive posture on every tough match.
Yes, long and tough lesson learned for me
I love this, what devon does is very specific to him and he started doing it after 25 years of competing, it is very specific to his open style. You are so right for most of armwrestler the key is to be tight at the center
Great points, it's hard for my ego to tighten up my form and drop weight after progressing with steadily sloppier form. Had this realization the other day too
The way you explain things are very straightforward and sensible. Thanks!
Rob always does a great job explaining these concepts but is always mindful that we all have skeletal differences, injuries, and other considerations.

Arms are looking monstrous

Dude ur arms look insane lol
This is very similar to travis bicep opening lift. I do it on my preacher curl machine. Whole key to the movement is staring at the knuckles
Man I really like these videos on training. This stuff is gold.. after all you didn't become a world level arm wrestler by accident... Thanks for sharing..
What a great lesson. Thanks.

Great video ❤
This is GOLD!!!
Makes a lot of sense. Thanks Rob 💪
Thank you Rob, you’re helping me everyday.
I was thinking the same thing! Glad you brought this out with the close back pressure lift.
Thank you for wisdom king
OMG BRO U JUST BLEW MY MIND I DONTHOSE LIFTS LATELY AND THATS SO MUCH MORE
Thank you, RVJ, for all of this info! I have all of these issues at the start. I'm glad these workouts will translate to the table. I'm going to do them and put them to the test. Awesome, thank you so much!
The common sense you bring to these lifts is invaluable. Thanks for the videos 💪🏻

Thanks for the videos hope you keep them coming your going to kill it in future

I totally agree, locking and defensive moves are equally as important as attacking moves, John v Denis proved that to me.@@RobVigeantRVJ
I love these basement lift videos with the raw and real streams of consciousness, really resonates with me. Keep it up bro 👍
Love it!
I think Travis also likes to train like this. Be strong center table and standing straight up. Not leaning back or with big bicep angle
Мне нравится твоя подача и чувство юмора, лайк!

enjoying the videos pal. Always food for thought.
good exercise, I like it. Good points, well explained!
Glad you liked it!
good shit brother!
awesome Video
Much better Rob!
Thanks Rob!

Lookin like a jacked beast doin the robot dance, cheers.
That's an insane arm.

I 100% agree Devons lift can be manipulated, by arm angle and lean back.

Great job I like how you never sugarcoat it for all the idiots! Keep up the great work. Natty power
This should be a challenge.
Yes
Lets go natty soldier

I have my opinions on that I would say in my opinion yes, but he has his own ideology and theories

Ya… I see it more applicable, but I don’t know peoples health and limitations
I'm pretty sure Devon knows what he's doing. I mean, He's been around long enough....
Triceps like that seem new
Nah, maybe just a little more pop since I’m in the gym now
@@RobVigeantRVJ looks good, Sir
Heavyweight world title soon, I hope
Damn Rob, looking swole as hell lately!
Dirty bulk 🤷🏼♂️
After I do this match next week, I’ll lean out
@@RobVigeantRVJ I meant it as a compliment, arms are looking strong!
@@robertgould9641 thanks.
I was just saying some extra weight probably helped with some mass… now I’ll lean out… slowly
RUclips algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... i have an easy solution, i should get stronger 😎
The walking sound every man cave have:)
Just a bunch of ogres - EVERYWHERE
can't fit those arms in that shirt anymore man.
You know you have taken steroids and so does everyone else
lol… did you like the insight ?
Not everyone does drugs. Rob and a select few here and there don't touch him.
