@@Boqueelis Which ironically Brian isn't a huge fan of. It's world's strongest man not the World's fastest or most endurance man. He prefers static lifts rather than lifting something and move it from point A to point B.
@@bilogskii2216that’s true but the usually do it for a high amount of reps and they also have medleys where they have to run back and forth with weighted objects in their hands. Strongman have a very good balance of strength and endurance.
So crazy how he makes big Derek look smallish lol. Derek very knowledgeable and I believe he will help Brian quite a bit. I'm sure Brian has any arm wrestler he wants on quick dial if he needs help with something particular lol. But awesome to see Brian so serious about it. RIP Levan 💪🇺🇸
I think Brian is being smart about it by learning from multiple people. He'll continue to do collabs with pros so he can continue learning. He's on the right track imo.
Yea this entire session was fucking stupid, and after all that top roll shit Devon taught him too, I wonder what Derek is thinking. Derek needs to stop hooking too
The big dude in the video with the beard and the glasses, who is he? I used to watch him on RUclips a couple years or so back but he kind of stopped doing videos for a while. Just curious if anyone knows.
@@g-man2507 I'm sorry, but don't understand what you are trying to say. Also, if you don't believe what I'm saying, just think about Cleve Dean, wasn't much a thin person, was he?
@Pepe-pq3om imagine how amazing Cleve would have been if he had trained properly with weights + a diet resulting in him being more muscular and less fat
@@airgunningyupit doesn’t look like Brian is giving Derek any trouble at all here despite Derek making it so easy for Brian so why would you think he would win in a real match 🤦♂️
Brian needs to train his bicep strength ALLOT, this is the reason why his arm opened up, strongmen mostly don't train bicep strength, so Brians biceps are only a bit above average. If Brian trains his bicep strength and his side pressure then he instantly becomes top 5 in the world, everything else is already world class from his strongman training
his biceps only a bit above average LOL. maybe average for the top 0.001% of the world. it's not the strength itself, it's mostly the mind-muscle connection to keep the biceps angle tight while dragging back and moving to the side. but ofc some heavy partial curls (which strongmen probably never do) will help him keep that angle a bit tighter
@@asonei3531 Yeah you know why those partial curls would help him keep that angle a bit tighter ? because for the first time Brian would be directly training his biceps to be stronger lol. There is no mind to muscle connection problem for Brian's biceps lol, dude literally does pulling events for strongman which involve both back and biceps. The problem is that Brian does no direct bicep training for strength, where as armwrestlers do even if it's through sparring, so Brians biceps are weak in comparison so he gets opened up
I don't think Brian should plant his elbow and post. I think he should keep his elbow lightly on the pad, almost floating, try to keep his fist tight to his chin and just row his opponent back-either with cup to a drag hook or with pronation to a high hook/TR. This imo would be the best use of his strength. He can work on the press too ofc
at pro SHW you can't just wristcurl people into a hook while dragging back. that's about the worst advice you could give him. Lachlan adair had to learn that (or is still learning that) too
Really want a higher level guy to coach Brian... yea they're close in size but Derek's not even close to the top level. Need people like John, Devon, heck even todd Hutchings would be better than derek
@@dakedakinson64 I think you underestimate how strong he really is. But in reality, we won't know until he actually competes against quality competition.
@dr.indianajones9558 I'm sure he is being very smart with his usage since he's been on gear for God knows how long. He is way healthier than Levan and I'm sure Brian's cardio is great too. But hey I guess we won't know till he dies

Impressive, very nice. How about Paul Allen’s practice pull?
Allen fisher
@proturtle1647 excellent comment
Patrick Bateman dismembered Paul Allen's whole body inside an apartment in 2000
It even has a watermark!!!
The subtle watermark says R.I.P Brian
I didn’t see Brian sweating or breathing heavy in that video. I think his endurance is going to shock some people
Yea especially cuz strongman has a surprising amount of cardio as a factor

So many collabs to look forward too 🤟🏻
@@sandert69 absolutely.. gonna be a very fun next few months seeing Brian progress and get better and better
Levan madeDerek look small...Derek i ssame size as Brian here....they look equal...Vitaly m akes Derek look small....but not Brian...same..
Lets see where he's at in a couple of months
I think Brian is being smart about it by learning from multiple people. He'll continue to do collabs with pros so he can continue learning. He's on the right track imo.
He will need a top roll, I will never to be able to hook in super heavyweight
Yea this entire session was fucking stupid, and after all that top roll shit Devon taught him too, I wonder what Derek is thinking. Derek needs to stop hooking too
Been waiting for this video🍿
They are telling Brian not to press that’s why he is opening up

Brian and Derek look like athletes but we can say that members of the fast food acceptance community were very well represented at that practice 😂.
Still, you wouldn't wanna face those dudes if you saw you'll have to go against them in a tournament

why didnt you includ when he tried rising back with an open hand against Derek near the end of their video?
Cheese n rice!!! Brians arm is like 2 or 3 times the size of Derek's
Awesome 🤘
Where does derek rank in the global leaderboard
nowhere , but hes a good teacher
I think he is a best in California
6 in the USA
Top 30.
Is brian beat rayan bowen in 6 month
No one can beat the goat you fool!
hed beat bowen now id guess

I'm not in the arm wrestling community nor do I know much about it, but the comments in these videos weird af
Brian's face he's barely trying lol Not breathing hard. Nothing. lol
60% is the max effort I'd say at any point he put in.
Bro can you increase your volume? Everytime i watch your videos i have to adjust my volume to high and then lower it down if watch other's

Definitely way more pressing (more triceps) than elbow flexion training for Strongman

Repping 60kg on the bicepcurl like it’s nothing isn’t a bit above average though. A bit above average can’t even rep 60kg for 1 rep

Fix your mic the volume sucks
Derek Smith is the weakest pound for pound puller on planet Earth. Like a tutorial boss in an RPG🤣💪🇨🇦

I say Brian is already top 30 meaning only 30 people in the world can beat him in armwrestling.
He is not even top 1000.
@@dakedakinson64 I think you underestimate how strong he really is. But in reality, we won't know until he actually competes against quality competition.
Top 30 in out right strength maybe, but he will get toasted in the setup by anyone in the top 50, they will just block and deny him any power access
Not even close. Derek smith gets destroyed by the top 30, and derek despite his face can hold brian quite comfortably
