how is this possible

this guy Devon laratt completely annihialtes arguably the world's strongest man in an armwrestling match. Devon's not going full force either, it seems like he is playing with Thor

The Mountain could barely move Devon's arm

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE???????

He's hardly a random normal dude, look at his biceps.

You are cute Devon Larratt is a legend of professional armwrestling and has been world champion multiple times.

true, but shouldn't Thor's massive strength allow him to be more competitve against Devon?

Goddamn I love Over the top

Even have it on DVD and everything

Nice pull

 

[MrA]

Over the top over the top over the top

Is it Stallone s best dumb movie?

 

[Coolwhhip]

Its probably more about technique.

 

[brap]

guys how could happen ?? biger man alwyas shuld win ..

 

[Falcs]

Maybe I don't understand the rules, but it looks to me like the smaller dude is using his body weight to win. I'd like to see him do that with them both sitting up straight.

 

[JimiNutz]

Beast!

They should stick this dude in MK as the next guest character and his fatality could be grabbing his opponent by the nuts/pussy and crushing them with his mighty grip.

"Normal dude".

 

[Coolwhhip]

"Normal dude".

Getting arms like that especially as a tall dude is crazy. So yeah, not a normal dude.

 

[jufonuk]

"Normal dude".

Can tell which arm he wanks with.

also most of these videos I see the winning person is always the one who leans over sideways like they are having a stroke. From the front if the guy lent back I’m sure the mountain guy would be able to hold him up. But sideways. Doesn’t seem possible.

 

[Teslerum]

He's hardly a random normal dude, look at his biceps.

Exactly, he's more than competitive against Thor on that front and the rest is technique. Which Thor has really none except basics.

Not really surprising at all.

I'm beginning to think I should take a table and set it up at the street corner and make a side hustle.

Devon's arms are way stronger, because he has trained them for decades. Armsize is not important. The amount of muscle fiber is, and Devon has a lot of them.

Arm wrestling is basically a very specific movement that you can be good at owing to your build, regardless of what your other athletic abilities are. I remember in high school I could beat just about anyone in my class, and I wasn't otherwise known for being very strong or sporty in any way. Everyone (including me) was surprised. And then there's the technique, like others mentioned, which is also a huge part of it.

I remember “arm wrestling” being a cafeteria school thing

He has just air pumped into his blown up muscle arms... that doesnt mean he is stronger than a guy who trains with his own weight. Every free climber could beat "The Mountain" in arm wrestling.

I laughed when the dude went under the table half way in, how the fuck did he lose with full body & wrist control?

I was a fucking monster in high school, I’d always dominate the wrist and then use my body and they’d always say I was cheating.

Yeah, that was crazy!

 

[Dural]

Anyone remember the World's Strongest Man from the 90s where one of them broke their arm in the arm wrestling match?

LET ME 1 UP YOU FOR A MOMENT

 

[ipukespiders]

While arm wrestling has a rich legacy, it has exploded in popularity recently and a lot of that is due to Devon Larratt. Also Schoolboy and his brother Alex, and (amateur) Larry Wheels.

The guy who suffered the broken arm, Nathan Jones, fought in the very first Pride FC event. Pride was the start of a fun new era in MMA and helped keep the sport alive whilst the UFC was being strangled by state legislation in the US. Completely off topic, I just got nostalgic seeing it.

Bald is a much better look for him than the Mark Jacko Jackson blonde spikes.
