      nvmffs as the years go by, skin softens, so many old not obese people have veins showing very clearly. And just how can you blame John in juicing while defending Denis? Denis is roided to the point his face distorted in age of 30’s, while John looks so much better at his almost 60. And actually Denis started training in about 2006 when he participated in several tournaments and beat Andrey on lefts. By the time he faced John in 2008 & 9 he was second only to John, so armfight was needed. And also, if you mean he wasn’t experienced in 2009, how he’ve become so experienced in 2010 when he beat John? Without surgery John might have beaten Denis several times more but i agree that at some point Denis would overpower him. But it wouldn’t have been like in 2010, it would have been fair and square

Not sure he will ever get to his old form again though / if he is even trying.

    As far as I can remember, I have never seen any sign of struggle on Denis' face while arm wrestling someone, except this one. Man, John was really something else in his prime!

    its crazy how small brzenk is than the others he fought and still make them look like smaller than him,theres literally no one will ever rewrite what he do in the sports of arm wrestling, the domination for decades,but the old age is slowly taking his strength away

    Fun Fact: not only has John been pulling since he was in single digits but as a teen he broke his arm pulling one of his dads friends and his arm grew back stronger than it was before.
