Why Devon Larratt's Fingers & Wrist Never Crack Back?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июн 2024
- Devon Larratt, renowned for his exceptional skills and technique, exhibits incredibly strong finger containment during matches.
Finger containment refers to the ability to maintain a firm grip on an opponent's hand and prevent any slippage or loss of control.
Larratt's finger containment is not only technically sound but also relies heavily on his years of experience in the sport. His fingers effortlessly wrap around the hand of his adversary, creating an unyielding hold that restricts their movements and provides Larratt with a crucial advantage.
This exceptional skill can be attributed to Larratt's rigorous training regimen, which includes exercises specifically targeting grip strength and finger dexterity.
Furthermore, Devon Larratt's understanding of body mechanics is evident as he maximizes leverage through precise positioning and angles, enhancing the effectiveness of his finger containment technique.
With such mastery over his fingers' grip, Larratt consistently demonstrates dominance in arm wrestling matches at every level.
Devon’s philosophy is that he only relies on his hand and wrist frame structure in order to convey force.
He even said in one of his videos that you have to sandpaper your multispinner so you won’t have to squeeze it, he’s right, but in my opinion, the multispinner with smooth surface acts like a fat grip especially if the diameter is 3 inches. It has increased my grip strength considerably.

It is well known that Devons main weakness is is OVERALL arm power. His hand power is among the best and specifically his pronation is his best.
I wonder why Devon can't keep his wrist without straps though, its almost as if he cheats the fk out with strap manipulations to gain significant advantage
@@astwas he doesn't really lose his wrist out of straps but he can't access much arm power.
@@hooktraining3966 He would lose his wrist all the time, going not even that far back, (from losing his wrist to a beginner Khaled?) to bunch of randoms in many videos since that forced him to slip.
Even recently when Devon was practice pulling with John (yes sparring isn't entirely meaningless) he had to initially slip cuz he couldnt stop Johns toproll until later rounds when John was tired.
While his hand has been getting stronger, its still the reason why Devon cries and fights on the table and tried so hard to push auto-strap rule in matches. Refer to him yelling at referree and opponents so he can cheat in strap setup or he will never ever start the first 1-2 rounds otherwise.
@@astwasoutside of straps you have to hang on. Inside of straps it’s different. His wrist rise and pronation in the straps is ****ing ridiculous
@@wesleyb1458 What do you mean you have to hang on outside of straps? Many people armwrestling just fine without straps.
In recent example, Devon ran for the slip cuz Brzenk took his wrist.
The obvious and well known answer for everyone who isn't a delusional fangirl is that Devon loves straps is cuz it helps him neutralize stronger hands but MOST importantly, it allows him to cheat his fkin ass off lmao. He harrasses the ref and opponents, and when they aren't looking, he climbs up and sneakily tightens the straps himself (countless example of this sht in like every single match for past few years).
Many people including Travis Bagent have called out his cheating, its really not news.
He's just way too strong
way, way too strong
Way way way too strong
Way, way, way, way too strong.
Way way way way WAY too strong.
Way way way way way way too strong
I'm very curious to see what Ermes can do to him. I think Devon can win the hand & wrist battle.
I think so as well. I think over 5 rounds eventually Devon cracks his wrist, and not the other way around. But we saw that Ermes is still very dangerous now even without his wrist in the Levan match
Yep agreed even levan cracked ermas hand more than Devon’s, Devon wins the hand and wrist battle with ermas hard to call who wins tho
Well Devon might have a better wrist but ermes has the body strength advantage and he's developed a mean flop wrist press too which is the biggest weakness for someone like Devon (which is why Devon destroying cadorette was so surprising). Devon doesn't put the same focus Ermes does in side pressure and back pressure. He might have an easy time doing what Genadi did on the last round, Devon can win the wrist battle but still have his pec and arm opened up.
@@lotaryguy12 yeah i agree
nah Ermmes is too much, Devon had to be stronger than this to stand a chance, if it's possible, a 295 lbs lean and muscular Devon would stand a chance, he desperately need arm power to fight these top 5 guys, and he has just enough in his hand andwrist, he's just lacking in muscles, especially triceps, that's why he can't flop press at all
This is a very accurate analysis, great video
Glad you think so!
Levan is so packed with all kinds of chems he's not human anymore ;)
You can lose a match without losing the wrist, but like devon says it doesn't matter losing the wrist as long as he can take opponent's wrist, thi only the matter is not get your hand supinated, thats why he train a lot of pronation🎉
Smart man.
Reminds me of Todd Hutchings with his wrist right back, but then from that position fully supinating his wrist. He has very strong pronation, despite losing his hand flexion-wise.
Devon's hand is actually extremely strong, he just lacks arm strenght a little bit (bicep/brachioradialis etc) and side pressure (he usually just holds and slowly pins his opponent)
Agreed.
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you! I think devons arm strength is getting better and better, he steamrolled Dave at KOTT 7 which is no easy feat. I've love to see Devon vs Ermes or Ermes vs Levan 2.
Devon's fingers and wrist do crack back and very often.
This is why he forces strap match every time, otherwise too many people could just top-roll him.
Meh that’s cuz outside of the straps you have to hold on. He doesn’t believe in holding on anymore. You ever see him get his wrist cracked inside the strap over the past few years? Meanwhile he cracks everyone else’s wrist (except Levan, which was actually pretty even wrist in 1st round)
@@wesleyb1458 There always was a rule that didn't allow intentional slip.
I think it's still is there, but somehow it's not imposed as if it doesn't exist.
Devon will literally slip out in losing position below the pad and get a strap match somehow.
American armwrestling seems to be evolvint into WWE very quickly.
@@michahalczuk9071 all slips go to straps baby that’s the way of the supermatch as it should be for that format
@@wesleyb1458 KOTT rules clearly state that straps only apply if the slip is unintentional.
If Devon _doesn't believe in holding on_ it should be taken as intentional slip, and therefore matches should be restarted until he actually holds on.
Also I'm not sure you even read my comment.
That’s interesting since watching ermes get his wrist smacked all the way back in levan match in straps and Jerry’s wrist bent waay back in all his matches lmao
Fantastic video! I’d love to see similar videos on other arm wrestlers!
Thank you so much. Yea definitely, but you can't get enough from Devon Haha.
Devon wrist strength is underrated
Fuck you mean underrated?😂
That's literally all people talk about when discussing his strengths
ya man, clearly he is second only to Levan in this category.
@@watermelon5745 of course
Dude is the real life wolverine, has ademantium in his wrist. To beat him you gotta have weight or size advantage or both and a lot of skills because pound for pound ain't nobody touching this guy.
Great video!
excellent video, good analytics! Well done!
Much appreciated!
agreed
Awesome stuff, I loved it
Glad to hear it!
that's actually really helpful video, I was recently wondering what I was lacking, now I know the answer
Cause hes a beast and one of the most crafty armwrestlers in the world 💪
Why cant folks just admit that Devon has strong hands and grip thats it!!!! He is just plain strong!!!!!!
Fr
Lol..who doesn't admit that ?
Yeah on par with levan, john,pushkar. And ermes. It just that they have more arm power.
Good presentation
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Awsm video
Last time i saw Devon's wrist cracked back was when he pulled MMT in WAL and that was years ago his wrist was intact even against levan so I truly believe that he has the 2nd strongest wrist in world (better than Ermes) ik that Ermes would probably beat Devon but that doesn't change the fact that Devon has the better wrist
Agreed, Devon would win the hand & wrists battle against Ermes, but his arm is not up there.
@armsport128 yeah Ermes is stronger than Devon in most areas, only the wrist, and maybe pronation is better than Ermes but that ain't enough to beat Ermes. Ermes would be the heavy favorite no doubt I just wanna point out that people who claim that Ermes has the 2nd strongest wrist are wrong
@@godabhi8599 didnt age well
@kasavaman007 bro when everyone was saying Ermes had the better wrist and pronation I was one of the only guys who said that devon would take his wrist and he has better pronation I called it a month before match the only thing I got wrong was Ermes winning which in my defense even devon was expecting
You deserve 100k Subscribers bro
9 minutes for a simple answer, he takes as much as he can in the set up with his longer hands, the opponent is usually to prideful to complain
His hand power is one of the best, his weakness is arm power.
verz nice and informative video! I just couldn´t hear past the heavz breathing...haha... hope its not an actual health issue! Keep up!
Nice video
Thanks
Devon wearing Bhagat Singh printed Tshirt😍two warriors in one frame 5:54.
Because of his rising and pronation
Interesting to see how Devon would feel Ermes 100+kg back presure
What about neutral pull ups hanging only on your fingers? At least for the four that are not the thumb? I do them since several months and it seems to help.
It would be better using flat surface.
Hey man. Awesome video, I can tell you put some time in to it, which I appreciate.
Not trying to be negative, but I have some critique. You talked a bit about ‘dad move’. It is called that, because you put yourself in the worst possible position to show how much better/stronger you are. Not to have a bette position/grip. So if you ever dad move someone thinking it will help you, good luck my friend.
If you want to force a hook or just protect your wrist, you go deeper - not necessarily lower. There are very niche situations, where you should ever actively try to grip lower. Like 2/100.
The best example I can think of, was John Brzenk beating Cleave Dean. Yes he grabbed low, but it was to get a deeper grip. And also because Dean was way taller than John. So that was not a dad move. John put himself in a position to protect his wrist, meaning a good position. Which is the opposite of a dad move.
I hope it made sense.
Anyways, keep doing what you are doing 🙏
Thank you for your awesome words. I will do my best to provide you with best possible content. And I appreciate your illustration, I will try to be more accurate.
Why Brzenk was the greatest for decades....his cup strength was superior to EVERYONE. Until others developed ways to overcome this (superior strength +30% or superior side strength +20%)
8:30 Every man wants a wife that cheers them on and have their back like Jodi does.
yeah but she still sp fckin anmoyin during matchea b1tchin like a ...
Why that guy hold her like this 💀
@@saka8948 I don't know but he must be friends of the familly, being this close from an ass whooping . Lol
This would be pinch grip vs squeeze grip
Levan takes it with ease
Tell that to Levan.
I wondered if he had steel rods or some shit put into his wrists. You notice when he stands his wrists are alwats turned inward.
Devon started his armwrestling carreer as a deep hooker. He has pulled for years as an inside armwrestler. Then, he started focusing on outside moves such as top roll and king’s move. So, Devon has both high level cupping and pronation. Devon has achieved amazing strength and technical refinement under every aspect of the sport.
Ermes started his armwrestling carreer as an explosive top roller. Over the years, he has developed outstanding versatility and table IQ, following his idol John Brzenk’s footprints. However, his skills are maily about transitioning from a top roll to a press, choosing whether to focus on back pressure or side pressure when top rolling… I’ve never seen Ermes throwing himself in an inside battle with anyone. I think he avoids that kind of fight because his cupping is not as masterclass as his pronation.
Thank you for this valuable information.
♥️
Ya big boy
Finger,Wrist,Grip
Having long fingers is an advantage
Exactly, I have an intention to make a video about it.
Vitaly also have very long fingers but he always losses his wrist every time
@@AbhishekVerma-sh9ctwhat???? Ur kidding right?
@@Sinner794😂😂😂
He never let's people get to his fingers.
Levon likes this post
The wrist and forearm. All of the tendons and tiny little muscles up and down the hand the wrist the forearm and you use your body and turn it to you and use your entire weight as leverage and an explosive device. Rookies think arm wrestling is about strength. Devon understands physics like a scientist.
Devon did dad move on Bortolato😄, just think about that, he's not some kid. Also everything is important in armwrestling in terms of exercise, the moment you say x is not important is what you will regret at some point down the line, attack everything.
Alexey Voevoda's neck is gonna beat everyone lol
@@Skelterbane69 😂😂
Unless you're Levan or Dennis, missleading title
VItaly just broke his opponent's finger bone with crushing power. That's hella scary. Just break whatever comes in your hand.
no limits for no reason
Devon in his younger years, he can play Superman FR 😁 he already is Superman tho haha
The key is in the strap. For some reason the strap supports his wrist better than any other. This is why he always travels with a strap. It is his bread and butter. John cracks his wrist evertime without the strap.
Yea maybe there's something to do with the straps.
True but John, cracks everyone’s wrist. Highly doubt he could crack Devon’s wrist now, he’s leveled up a ton since their last match.
Because his elbow does, lol!!!
He mutated basically
I think devon’s weakness is his biceps ,his wrist and fingers are just too good
It’s because he’s mastered the proper exercises to dominate with hand control and nullify his opponents strength.
grip strength is just the side effect
Is being able to hold your own bodyweight with fingers considered strong? For example on that machine or on a rolling bar.
Majority of people can hold their own body weight on fingers for long time, so if you can hold anything for long time it means that the weight is not enough. If you want strong fingers, consider using the multispinner, but don't sandpaper it.
@@armsport128 sorry, i meant on one arm. Got a spinning horizontal bar, 50 mm diameter. I find it challenging to hold onto it with one arm, feels like it's a different kind of strength.
@@ltroy_sw If you can't hold that position for long time, then do it, and it's really impressive though.
@@armsport128 thanks, man! What do you think about bodyweight wrist curls on a bar like this? I uploaded a video for you to see if you are unsure about what I am asking. I am talking about the practicality of it for armwrestling. Even though I can hang without any problems on a bar with one arm and additional 75 kg (my bodyweight) attached, I can barely hold onto the spinning bar without weight, so it must be really challenging, and it also feels a little like holding onto a plate with flat fingers, when I compare the feeling. So I deduced it could be helpful with armwrestling.
@@ltroy_sw@ltroy_sw It's definitely good for arm wrestling, I think it's kind of what Travis Bagent used to do, he call it the false grip. And the additional 75 kg are really impressive man OMG. I wonder how much weight you can wrist curl.
Matt mask bent his pinky back once . Didnt happen again
levan forfeiting a round is worse than him getting pinned
Er ist einfach viel zu stark
for me I think only a guy who is bigger than him is strong enough to beat him like levan denis genadi
His wrist and hand gets compromised all the time… you guys serious ?
He survives in the straps which support him and kings move…
You guys kidding me ?
Lowhand toproll doesnt attack the fingers though
Attacks the small finger, does it not?
Of course he lost wrist against John Brzenk. Also he lost against levan in the round 1. You can clearly see, his wrist was slightly taken by Levan.
Since when Devon Larrat Use a Flop wrist?
He never flop press, he did it with Dave just for showing.
Here before Ermes cracks Devon's wrist
Lool that's not gonna happen 🤣
@@armsport128 sure? 😂😂
good comment
This voice talks like the dog from the cartoon “UP” 😂😂
Come on he's standing in between each rep😂, it's harder if you hang the whole time.
6:06 he's wearing bhagat singh
larratt is one bad hombre
Superman is super strong, until he faces Darkseid or Doomsday
Levan is also a monster on steroids =Super strength. I though Devon did really well going up against that.
I dont have much interest in the sweet science of arm wrestling I just love watching Devon shit talking while he wrestles. "I'm too strong Gerry, what you got GERRY" that kills me 😂
Cause he never gets in that position if first place…
Ok, but why does he have all those loofahs hanging from his ceiling?
Length = leverage. Maths.
Cause his wrist is stronger than his arm or because he has gained higher/better hand position so that his opponent is hitting into his hand rather than his fingers. This is why it's important for refs not to allow Devon to climb before go like he always does and gets away with it
he will continue to get away with it cuz the organisers can't risk pissing off his numerous fans by having strict refs..you saw how they reacted after the last match..they don't care if Devon's opponents get screwed all the time ..but the one time the shoe was on the other foot they reacted like it was the biggest injustice of all time :D
You guys forgot how John cracked his wrist multiple times...
when was that? Levans the closest ive seen recently
@@glenns001search it..😂
Yeah, 8 years ago.
@@TearTheRoof0ffNo in recent practice outside the strap john cracked devons wrist
@@aromalsuresh290 PrAcTiSe
Glad I clicked this one 😂
You're welcomed broo.
Pancakes are key. Lots and lots of pancakes 🥞
Exactly 💯
because his biceps lost first
Pointless when your arm gives up...
Devon's hand was busted back vs Levan. his fingers weren't open but his cup was 100%. You can see it in the clip you posted. I also disagree with the rest of the video. Regarding Ermes' match: attacking levan's arm is by far the better plan. Ermes has no chance vs his hand (maybe now that he's injured). Ermes has short fingers and woudln't be able to contain levan. His best shot is to beat his arm.
Regarding Devon vs Dave, Devon's height over Dave's hand and have's fatigue make it easier to cup him in. You're not wrong about Devon's hand strength in general, but the analysis of the Levan and Dave match was off.
Because of straps. Without it even Gabriela Vasconcelos would crack that wrist.
Haha
It's because his arm is weak and it crack back before the fingers
Whose arm is weak bruh 😂...?urs?
@@sauravpillai1498 Devon has one of the weakest arm in pro armwrestling
@@ita149750 yeah, especially after the bicep tear. it will always be vulnerable to a re-tear when it is pushed to its limit (i.e. against Levan again)
@@ita149750 ya so weak that he did a static hook curl with 178 pounds that remained unbroken for years. Weakest arm in pro armwrestling, lol shut up bro.
la la tin . LOOOL
If Devon were 15 20 years younger and he would have roided out like levan he could have taken him out. It's not wise at Devon's age to juice up to that extent.
Too mamy steam cells injected.
Fatboy is fat because he using his 400plus pounds of full body weight on his opponent when top rolling.
If you watch early videos of young, he is a normal weight person, he lost to Genadi many times.
Id imagine Devon would beat a lot of these people he loses too if they tested for juice
Devon takes steroids too.
@@dessertstorm7476 you are such a clown
@@Reaperherpderpyou're a clown if you think he's natural lol, compare his face to 5/10 years ago, nobody ages that fast unless their slamming gear, just look at Irakli or Ermes, Levan etc, they look like different people now, just like Devon
'Promo SM'
Levan cracked him open pretty good lol
Not really.
Everyone knows its from the pancakes man come on!
well..that and a lotta training
Why do you sound like a robot? Good video though
It’s an AI voice (text to speech)

It was Levan’s hand started to bend backwards. LOL
@@I_Never_Liewhere ? Which match?
His wrist never bent during the match!!
@@devons_stem_cellsMaybe just a little bit, but I agree with you, not that much as some people think.
@@mbolaramanoelina625 his wrist never cracked back
Pretty sure I saw levan crack his hand and fingers multiple times 😂
Before the injury happened, in the first two rounds even Levan couldn't if you look closely
@@sarasijghosh and how do you think he got injured was it just random?
@@thearmwrestlingmemechannel1434It's not his finger or wrist that was injured lol, it was his bicep so what does that have to do with his wrist strength
@@TearzzGDNo. Devon definitely lost his fingers and the wrist. If it was not for the straps it would have been open even more. Dont you feel if he could hold levan he would be able to wrist curl 300 lbs easily. But thats not the case.
Well yeah, he's Levan. He cracks everyone.
The question I have is why are people allowed to go under the table to “Arm” wrestle? Why can they not win without moving at all and just using their arm to do it? Thats what makes this “sport” a joke.
That's far more dangerous for the arm bones, just pushing to the side without moving the body puts a twisting pressure on the humerus, which is very weak to, which is why so many non-armwrestlers break their arms when they try to armwrestle a friend.
Go to an armwrestling practice and learn how the sport works before you make uneducated comments.
That is simple when he loses what cracks back is the arm... lol
So why they invented the flop press?
oh that basically means once in a lifetime
Seems like people are getting smarter, they don’t like your comments anymore. How sad? 😢
Found you dummy! 😂
@@armsport128but flop press works only in a particular range of motion and also you have to rely on your triceps and not hand.
Levan broke his arm.
Literally.
Minor muscle tear. Nothing like what you say here.
yea but he never cracked his wrist back
Get your facts straight.
