Imagine wanting to be an arm wrestling champion your entire life, and then this is the final boss.
😂
Hes average far from elite level xD
Have you ever heard The Georgian Hulk?
And No Limits?
Devon and Levan would like to know your location.
With those hands i can see why his wife loves him
Went to 12 years of school with Jeff, Great Person. Gentle Giant , Kickass Jeff
Hello my son getting bullied do you know how I can contact him I would love for him to talk to my my son was born with oversize hand and I want him to know he’s not alone. Please contact me back
@@Seizure_girlstv Remind him everyday that school isn't forever, and once he's out of school, he won't have to deal with any of those people ever again. Life will be better. In the real world, people are much more respectful and undertanding.
In the meantime, he has to learn to love himself, and once he does that, he'll be able to stand up for himself and not care what other people think. Then he'll get friends off of that, eventually. (The friends part is not garanteed, though.)
That's truly amazing I'm from shakopee It'd be cool to see him
@@Seizure_girlstv If they don’t get back to you, contact a local high school sports coach who may be able to help or give you someone local to help!
@@Seizure_girlstv my son has opposite problem tiny hand that was webbed. Tell your son if he doesn’t give them a reaction they eventually move on. My son says just say “so what” and move on. Just act like they are the idiot for pointing things out.
I really admire how he doesn’t dwell on his proportions. He’s just completely at peace with himself and I think that’s something we all ought to embrace
Especially when you're a real life X Man.
Its easy when its something inoffensive like hands 😂
@@citrusblast4372 fair point lol. It’s a lot tougher for other people
With those hands my Prince Albert will look smaller than it already is.
@@CraZzy3n3rGy DAMN!
He actually seems like a gentle giant. Just laid back, but extremely motivated, and that's awesome!
But he's not a giant... His arms are just really big the rest of him isn't big...
I arm wrestled this guy one time for the world championship. He took my arm home as the trophy
Considering you an ant makes sense
I was there
Crazy shit
@@givenchyoverall were you the guy that he high fived and your arm exploded?
@@blankmandastankman No, that was me, I am currently typing with what's left of my shoulder
You can tell he’s truly a nice guy, He has lots to be proud of.
Repent to Jesus Christ
““A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
John 13:34 NIV

Get real, you can't tell whether someone is nice just by watching a 6 minutes video.
@@chickenchowman2692 How dare you disagree? 😡😲🤯😱
@@chickenchowman2692 If they have no priors (felonies) work, and are respected in their community they are doing something right. I'll play the devil's advocate and say, we don't know his mind so that alone could paint him a different picture, but, usually a person's psyche reveals itself through action. There again, no felonies, not in jail, easy going demeanor, I'd bet the paycheck he is a GOOD person.
@@65drummer1 Good call. I think I'm sold. 👍
Imagine the nurse says "the doctor is now ready to give you your prostate exam" and this guy walks in ! 😂
Were can i sign up ? :'D
That would feel amazing
@@yuzuchi5381 lmfao
He likes to use 2 fingers 😮
This guy is truly at peace and lives a seemingly content existence. There’s a powerful serenity to his personality.
It depresses me that as an infant this guy probably had more upper body strength than I do right now.
It's never late to start training. Reject weakness, embrace greatness.
Yeah. It's best not to compare yourself to anyone. You'll only get more depressed. Instead, look to be better than you were the day before. I'm not good enough to compete in anything. I had to stop because I couldn't win to save my life and it made me clinically depressed. I just try to beat my past records now on my personal range. Still depressed, but not to the point I can't get out of bed anymore.
There isn’t any shame in being weak, the shame is in staying weak
It depresses me people took you seriously
@@RicardoMontania Your comment really makes a lot of sense. Never give up.
Jeff Dabe looks like the nicest person ever. His face looks like he's always smiling.
He is. In person he is intimidating until you talk to him. Super nice guy.
@@IggnantOG he looks related to Adam Sandler
The Slap Fighting World Champion
He must be a Republican. They're the nicest people.
Always smiling... I bet he had his bad moments
Super humble and easy going. Can anyone else see he seems like a really tremendous guy?
He’s a beast, he is such a cool Dow to earth person.
“There’s no one I’d rather be, than me!” Wreck-It Ralph Quote.
Reality is often dissapointing.
He should join the "slap fighting" circuit, he'd DOMINATE!
That would be insane.
That what I said, imagine him slapping ya on the face, he'd get the whole head and the neck. Ya head would be ringing for a week
@@Antipodean33 hahhahahah
if he loses the coin toss, he's toast. Those guys have incredible chins
I think he would probably get clubbing warnings every slap because his hand is just that big he couldn't avoid it.
He seems like a really nice man...low pride and lots of humility; an inspiration to me!
why inspiration?
Classic minnesota guy
I don't see the low pride. He seems humble, sure, but why the low pride comment? Couldn't he be humble and proud of himself and his achievements at the same time?
@@GeriatricMillenial being prideful and humble are two different things. Jesus Christ died for our sins he is the way, will to life. Seek him he is everlasting life. Accept him into your heart and confess with your mouth he is Lord. The savior who payed the price for our sins. God bless ✝️🙏
@@3z3O Well that was random
He’s very down to earth and relatable considering he can wipe out 6 generations with a single punch 😳
Everybody in this video just seems sweet. Obviously our guy Jeff, but the reporters too seemed so genuine and respectful in their interest.
This is the type of guy in the Middle Ages that would be ripping people apart on the battlefield creating myths about giants.
He carries in his smile and in his eyes joy, humility and serenity, characteristics that are rare and difficult to find in a person these days. Being friends with someone like Jeff must be amazing.
he is a cheater using his body weight 1:32
Yeah. Nothing but good vibes and positive energy flowing outta this cat.
So true, he would be a great friend.
So true, he would be a great friend.
@@punker4Real The other guy is literally using his entire body while Jeff is standing up tall gtfho.. stop being jealous man, just be better
He definitely possesses & radiates a very gentle & lovable disposition… I bet his heart is even bigger than his amazing hands
Imagine going for a prostate exam and this guy comes out of the doctors office to administer it.
I'm literally rotfl! 😂😂😂
I just had mine too lol
I bet you would like that
Talk about a guy that made the most of something that could’ve potentially been a negative in his life. Glad I stumbled on this video, good for Jeff
Outside of maybe getting picked on by younger kids I can't think of a single reason haveing larger arms would be a negative.
How becoming an apex human beung is negative now? No one will mess with this dude.
@@DonJoe1 using your phone, typing on a keyboard, using utensils, pens, although I suppose that's the problem with having massive hands rather than arms, maybe some health complications with huge arms? I ain't a doctor thought don't take my word
@@jamieryan2952 yeah I think his fingers looked pretty big though also so those might be problems. Still in my opinion bigger arms have more pros than cons.
What a great Man, softly spoken and emanates gentleness. One thing for sure though, if he slaps you you are gonna stay slapped for several incarnations.
Yeah he could easily slap you right to sleep
Yep - Chris Rock is really fortunate this dude didn't marry Jada...
@@robhigh5991 who cares about that fake bs
@@emiko7940 it was real 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
"I am How i Am" Sir, You Are a Legend! 💪💪💪
I remember seeing this guy in the news like 10 years ago. I'm glad he's still doing well
What a humble, gracious man. One, everyone can appreciate for his sizable gentleness.
Probably not the guy that has to arm wrestle him. This dude could rip your flippin hand off. I kid, yeh he’s a good dude.
@@patrickbyrne5070 I mean if you saw that and still decided to arm wrestle. It's your own fault 🤣😂
I thought you said he was a great humble man with a sizable genitals when I first glanced over comments
He reminds me of Andre the Giant, who had big hands and a big heart. Just a wonderful human being to be around! 😊
Such humbleness and humility. An admirable quality! Bless him.
In the early 90’s he would come into a bar I bartended at once a month or so. He struck me as a gentle giant. Alway quiet, humble and kind. I remember the tall drink he would get (a captain coke if I remember correctly) would be swallowed up by his hand. Cool story and super nice guy.
What a definition of humility.this guy sets an example of how respectful most of us should be.this world needs more guys like this.i wish I had more friends like this.
We are here a plenty but this world is destroying most of our spirits
You're of who you keep around you
The issue is that people want the world to be like this, but they don't wanna make the effort to be that way themselves. We just want shit.
looks like a generic comment… are a bot?
Agree 100 percent!
I'm glad this guy found something he's passionate about. Seems like a great person
It's a great example of playing to your strengths and succeeding. Def something to aspire to!
He’s got an even bigger heart. Dude is a gentle giant
Jeff Dabe is the NICEST person you will every meet. He and his wife are a joy to talk to and he always has time for his fans. I will always cheer for Jeff, a true champion, in many ways.
I love how he has Wreck it Ralph in the back ground. I love this guy man. He seems so genuine.
My coworker looks like the muscly version of Master Roshi. I gave him a roshi sticker and he put it up by his chair😀
God bless this man that took an oddity and with super human effort made it into an asset. Great work.
doctors dunno why this happened lol, i just think during his development the stem cells for the arms just malfunctioned/mutated a tiny bit
god bless your soul our brother wish you welfare and healthand happiness
@girlsdrinkfeck Could be a rare case of chimerism. That is, a genetic mutation that only affected his limbs. Perhaps growth hormone gene.
That is a very good story. Compliments to accomplished professional. Really enjoyed seeing that years of farming and providing food for people helped him achieve his goal.
This is such a heartwarming story! 💕
You can tell this man has the makings of a varsity athlete
lol sopranos references
You can tell he is fueled by the gabagool.
He was an interior decorator. Killed 16 Czechoslovakians! His apartment looked like sh*t though
I was here, it was a joke.
nice
Wreck it Ralph cosplay would go hard!!
OoooooooooooooooOh, red highlights!
Or an ambidextrous mountain dew, dorito eating gamer.
He should totally do it, that would be amazing!
there was a figure of ralph in the background, he must have a good sense of humor
@@zhain0 You must not have stuck around til 04:10 ;)
This guy definitely puts a new meaning to I'm about to put hands on you
what a humble man. Respect for his super sportsmanslike attitude
Jeff Dabe is known on the circuit as one of the nicest guys about. A true gentle giant. Absolutely love watching Jeff pull
Depends on what he is pulling 😁😁
Woww an amazing person and seems kind hearted guy. Great story thanks
He genuinely seems like a nice guy
To all clothing companies, if you're reading this, create gloves that fit this guy's hands because he deserves it.
He's probably got mittens 😂
I'm sure they'll see your comment.🥴
@@MelloYellow2099 😂🤣
@@marvalousmarva6190 🥴
Rumor has it he won a thumb war via knockout
So very interesting that this news story popped up on my RUclips feed. As it turns out, I wrestled against Jeff once in jr. high and again in high school. Such a nice guy, very friendly and a great sport, too. And to think we wrestled against each other at 155 lbs., if I remember the year correctly. Great to see Jeff again in this news story!
Who won in your wrestling matches with him? Was he all strength or did he know a lot of wrestling moves?
Jeff wrestled HWT in high-school much of the time, even though he was way under that weight class. He won alot of those matches💪👏👏😊
Clearly a lie as 155 is the weight of one of his hands
U lost say it
That opponent at 3:06 didn't seem like a very good sport.
What a nice guy. More power to him.
Hey I've seen this guy before! Glad he's still doing his thing!!
Gotta “Hand” it to him…………seems like a very nice humble man!
He may be stronger than a Machoke!
He definitely has the upper hand in a lot of situations.
No dude stop please.
@@SpencerLemay I got to hand it to you for telling the guy to stop these jokes.
whata shit pun, not even kinda clever. Just cringe
Just ignore the news people. This guy is really humble and knows himself and seems to really enjoy life. God bless Jeff.
What news? This video is pretty positive. Is there some negative story out there about him?
Seems really nice thats great...I can't imagine that guy pissed off though holy crap! He should've gone into the WWE or something! Too nice of a person I guess! 😁
"news" "people" LOL
If he joined WWE he would be wasted. Then they would change his name.
wow a short doc about a guy i actually want to learn about. Great job FOX9 thankyou
id like to be friends with that guy, very humble. Very down to earth guy who loves what he does!
Seems like a good humble down to earth guy! Wish you the world bro!
Jeff has never picked his nose.
Jeff has never texted a word correctly. #fatfinger
Nor gotten a coin out of his pocket.
for real. those hands are why he wins lol. they're the size of his fucking head each. Imagine the grip you could get with those hands. Have to be careful pleasing yourself not to rip it off lmao
He needed to go into porn dammit.
That’s pretty cool. What a set of ham hands! Wow. So awesome.
All the girls loved him in high school for his good attitude and his gentle sausage fingers. Such a lucky guy.
Funny. God Bless him. Great story. He seems like a humble and good guy .
I work at Petersons store in North Branch. Jeff comes in about once a week. Today he came in and I challenged him to an arm wrestling match. Next time he comes in we are gonna do it hopefully. I know I'm gonna get destroyed but it'll be awesome to just compete against a professional. Jeff is a really nice guy too. Never cocky, very down to earth guy.
How'd it go?
@@Melissa0774 I haven't seen him yet. Still hasn't came back. Maybe he's scared I'm gonna beat him 🤣🤣🤣 totally kidding. Nothing but respect for Jeff.
Does he work at Bolander and sons as a loader operator/scale house guy? I met him lots of times at work a dozen years ago. He really is a cool guy. He looks exactly the same.
@@Melissa0774 just arm wrestled him today!!! I got destroyed. As I thought I would 🤣🤣🤣
I also had a chance to arm wrestle him. I obviously had no chance but he was a good sport. I remember him giving me tips on how to arm wrestle. It's been a few years now.
I love his right pointer finger. Battle wounds
Jeff is probably the nicest guy you could ever meet.
I can sympathize with him. My right arm looks the same after 2 Years of Quarantine!
I see what you did there.
Lmfao
Giggidy
When you're playing rock-paper-scissors with him and pick the same thing, it's not a tie. He wins regardless.
Big rock smashes little rock
Lol
Ever watch the movie 'RIO?',
"scissors cut rock!"
You enter the arm wrestling tournament, 💪 walk up to the table and see him as your opponent? Um, can I take a moment of silence for what used to be my arm? Wow. But he is a really great guy. Nice to see a successful guy being so down to earth and not being arrogant.
My goodness, his hands are gigantic. That's freaking awesome. Like I think his hand could encompass my head
I’ve seen a few stories on Jeff over the years and I just enjoy his personality. What a nice man
He comes off like a Minnesotan off the farm.
Yeah but he could also crush your skull!!!!
Wow! What a great story! In a day & age where negativity seems to overshadow everything, it is so refreshing to see a feel good story about a good man embracing his natural born talents.
Ya seriously
Q
This is so cool!
Hell yeah Daves da man! God bless you sir
Was I the only one who busted out laughing when they said "Jeff, you're the new Champion...let's give him a hand" 🤣
I legit thought 'yo he doesnt need another'
i think the joke only works on someone who is missing a hand
I wanna see this guy go into the slapping contests, he 100% would win 😅
Not against their champ aka cheater mc ear slap.
imagine getting hit in the face with 20lbs of hand...
Instant death lol
Yes please oh my god
Lol he would kill somebody in a slapping competition
What a dude💪💪. His headlock wood b hell!😎😎✌
WOW! A real life Wreck It Ralph. That’s amazing!!!!
Finally, a good news story. What a charming man Jeff is.
right? wish our media reported real news
Hands are the sole of your Heart 💜. Looks like a wonderful warm Man.
Does he have a big pickle too?
@@richardmyers7847 Dong
Best story I've heard in a long time. Such a great guy!
How is he not in marvels with these hands?
I love this story. He is so nice too 😁💪
Seen him in other vids, I was more amazed with his positive personality, than his physique.
Jeff strikes me as an amazing dude with a good heart. I wish many years of good health and many more arm wrestling championships.
Incredible!
I loved this
3:07 - that dude he beat was a real biotch about losing, old punk. Jeff seems like a great guy, wishing him & family all the best.
He was definitely a sore loser; acted like a jerk. Looks like Jeff wanted to shake his hand afterward, too.
I imagine that he was upset about the unfair genetic advantage. That's probably how biological women feel about losing to biological men. It's like competing at tug-of-war with Andre the Giant.
Thats Christian Binnie apparently he yells and screams when he sleeps xdd heard from one armwrestler who had to sleep in hotel at a event in same room as him xdd.
curious to see if anybody else noticed that too...seems like a ridiculously sore loser
@@deputydillhole That's true, but this is atleast more fair.
I don't know why anyone thought it was a good idea to let biological men compete in women's sports.
"Sizeable" I think the words you're looking for are freaking huge 😂 He seems like a great guy, wishing him the best!
It’s anti-clickbait. Hopefully it catches on?
Lies again? Mastubating Dog
he is sooooo symphatic.
What a nice guy.
"I cant find gloves" ....lololol I fell outta my chair! This guy has a good spirit.
This story is absolutely insane. You can visually see his enormous hands and arms. If I did not see this video I would not have believed it was real. WOW!
He seems like a good man, honest, competitive, relaxed, and on a farm
If this man went onstage at the Oscar's instead of Will Smith we'd be holding Chris Rock's funeral today! 💀💥👋🏼
Good gagg lol
😀😀💯
If it was him who made the joke, will smith would've kept laughing, and remained seated.
@@luke14946 i would not remained seated, i am 6´6 and 375 pounds, and i go to the gym 5 times a week, i have huge shoulders and huge arms, i can beat him in a fight
Yeah he would slap his head into next year. Lol.
Reading all the comments, from people that know him, is heartwarming. Sounds like he's a truly good person. Great way to start my day off.
He looks kind and gentle
Seems like a good guy to have a beer with. He's got a good attitude towards who he is.
OH MY.....
This guy is awesome! I love his story!
Jeff is a great guy. Hopefully more people will learn about the sport of arm wrestling!
I bet he won't fracture like some do.
I became aware of the sport from the documentary "Pulling John". It was a good watch.
At one point, my brother was ranked 11th in the state of Wisconsin (1990’s). We were a dairy farm family (AKA…we know how to work hard with heavy items). When I moved to Dallas, I could not be beat in arm wrestling. I was 5 feet tall and 120 pounds, all muscle. Cool bar trick for me.
Arm wrestling isn't a sport. It's a competition yes, sport? Not a chance!
@@stupidas9466 incorrect!
What a lovable guy
Dude needs to enter that Slap Competition
I have a HUGE amount of respect for Jeff!... Glad to see him back out and at it again, he is a true winner and a solid genuine soul!... 💯💯💯
Wow, what an amazing story and someone I’d love to have in my corner! Much respect ✊ Jeff!!
That is awesome
They all say your fist is as the same size of your heart. He both have big fists and big heart. Such a humble man.
Sounds like an awesome and humble person. That’s what makes him so COOL 😎
