    I agree with other commentors that, while the topics were good, it's not your place as the interviewer to push for an agenda. It was annoying during the steroid usage convo how you kept interrupting him with more questions while he was trying to be respectful towards his peers. Everyone at the top is dosing heavily, Devon included. As he said, it's their choice to push it as far as they want, but he chooses a balance just as many others do. The roids are bad agenda you were trying to get him to say was not the play here.

Not only that, he jumps into conclusions by virtue of not listening well enough. A good example is in the beginning him misunderstanding Devon’s opinion on genetics and making the strawman that Devon holds the position of blank slates, even though Dev never implied it..

    Very good and insightful interview. From someone who's into the psychology aspect of competitive sports, these were very good questions. If you allow me to do one constructive critic, I think you should let the interviewee finish their sentence before interrupting their line of thought. Even the gestures or expressions that perhaps you don't realize you're doing can put pressure on the other person to finish and philosophy shouldn't be rushed. Best of luck with your channel!

    What he said is so true and recognizable in his last match .. Devon definitely used the art of surprise vs Denis ... Denis knows that Devon's traditional strength is endurance, so he trained extremely hard in training his endurance ... Devon knew he would chase this aspect, so he he took that away from Denis forcing the match into one of explosive power and hitting hard, negating everything Denis trained for. Devon chose to eliminate the endurance factor from the match as much as possible, thus negating denis' entire approach in his training.

    What impresses me most about Devon isn't his strength or table IQ - both of which are phenomenal - rather, it's the fact that he never seems to be searching for an answer to often complex questions. I'm sure a portion of it is that he's just naturally gifted at thinking on the fly, but I also believe it speaks to the fact that he has put a lot of thought into these things long before a camera is ever turned on and a question thrown his way.

    07:08 But how do you define, in the young years of someone, if someone can be a Magnus Carlsen? Exactly, there is no way to define that beforehand by looking just at natural attributes. Only Time and Determination will let you find out the result, when that person tries it out. If someone has talent for something or not, only can be told by the time that person did invest into a certain skill. There is no way to define that beforehand, without the person trying or doing anything towards that skill. In other words, only because someone fails early, doesn't mean that person will also fail later, cause people make the assumption that there is no talent in him.

    Nice stuff Nikoloz, thank you. Some comments from me. 1) Better don't interrupt so often; interviewing is about person who you talk to, not about you.; 2) You wanted Devon to call the names of athletes who are using lot of "juice" and dangerous things to become as strong as it only possible and to gain more and more maximum weight results but after he mentioned Denis you didn't continue. Why? Levan isn't on super hard "juice" courses? Artem Morozov isn't? Numerous other athletes in absolute division (if not everyone)? Devon is only using stem cells last 1.5-2 years? Really? :) Todd isn't using some special stuff during his preps? By the way, John Brzenk before Voevoda match did seriously VISIBLE progress at his age and on such a short period of preparation (and GOAT always confirms that he is not doing any serious gym / workout things)? Does this mean that John can become significantly bigger and stronger only doing arm table practices? Aren't this things really crucial for understanding? 3) I mean, arm sport is growing, but we (community + new / young athletes) are fooled by people who are talking only about hard working, dedication, obsession and etc. Please share with us, that you are all using everything (!) to become the best (someone more, someone less, but still). Devon said some words about it, great for that, but it's only some part of the story going behind the PRO scene. But it sounds like he is different. It's very unclear what's going on with an American athletes (USA was always top1 in Pharma especially in a PRO sport), especially who i mentioned. If you start this topic, go deep and try to get exact answers from this guys. 4) If you will have a chance some next event, please go deeper in this topic and ask exact questions and names. Plus, short and exact question to Devon: "Can you share what exactly you use during your preparations and during the event if we talk about medicines, pharmacology and anything except your own health and desire to win?". Will be so interesting to hear what he says. 5) From my perspective - 95% of athletes in Absolute division are seriously using top pharma, different "juices" and even more. People like Todd (for sure), John (for some most important matches and only recent years) and some other real Legends are also jumping in this kind of extra targeted boosting recent years, just to stay competitive (Todd) or for some most important matches (John). It's VISIBLE and you don't need to be a genius to make a comparison during last 20 years and periods of their activity + results + visible form. Especially in their age. 6) Even when Arm Wrestling will need to start doping tests and all PRO health things from biggest sports / Olympics this topics should not be hidden from global community. At least, to get a clear vision of development process, risks and hard investments (yea, you need serious amount of money every year and looks like it will only increase in the future) for any new competitors. Thank you for reading and have a great next events! Keep uploading this kind of content, it's really interesting.

But sasho is an 85kg puller that is fighting +95kg world champions. He won Bulgarian nationals with a few weeks training in the sport... And made the podium at WAF that same year as a teenager.... That to me shows sasho is very gifted, despite his size.

    The topic of genetic and work I relation to results is something I recently pondered. Both matter and I seethe angle Devon has. My persnal example is I'm a thin guy predisposed to better running running strength but that's not me. After years of obsession I got to some geuely respectful lifts, a deadlift just shy of 500lbs. The genetically gifted guy would have surpassed that long before me with less effort but depends what they want to put in. The ceiling of potential is still higher for genetically superior people for respective sports but work effort over time is what brings those graphs closer as you reach your potential which is above the other person's baseline. Sometimes why ou sometimes see the amazing footballer at school wo was gifted then just play for fun ad years later the guy who was average got in to professional club as they developed their abilities. Again why Devon makes a point, its easy to rest on your laurels when you know yor potential than if the carrot is dangled out of reach

    Yep, because he essentially doesn't. He has... but he doesn't actually have the genetics to make the peds work as effectively as being clean and healthy does for him, so he doesn't anymore. Oh, you don't think that's true? Boohoo.

    Bit disappointing job by interviewer tbh. I believe his intentions were sincere, and dude wanted to set up an interesting interview, but lack of experience as a host showed. Some of the questions were only posing as questions indeed, not enough platform for Devon to express imo. If you are the host: just let your guest talk. Guest is the important one. Good host is very often invisible, and only sometimes in the spotlight and provocative when its the time to ask difficult questions. Still watched it and was engaged. Mental side was good, technical and interpersonal will improve over time.
