If there's anyone I think people should listen to, it'll be John Brzenk. Still looks like a normal human being, and is still in the sport after 40 years. He literally lays out the blueprint of longevity and greatness in this video Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us Larry

If you're naturally stronger than everyone, and don't need PEDs for it either, you're not going to tax your body as much via competitive armwrestling. If you're not naturally the strongest, but a slimy weasel willing to cheat to gain an advantage, like Devon or Travis, you're also going to last - until you go up against Levan :) And if you're like MMT and not naturally the strongest, not very smart, but stubborn enough to want to be the best, then you're absolutely going to destroy your body via armwrestling :)

Thankfully John started in an era where steroids weren't used in arm-wrestling, but as Travis put it, nobody could beat John without them, so in enter the PEDs - around the 00s.

John is a prodigy and an incredible talent. His advice works for HIM, but wont work for many. He doesnt do weights, he doesnt warm up before the matches. DO I even need to continue? Yes, there will be gems of knowledge here and there, but when it comes to training, listen to a hardworker.

Don't get much better than advice from the GOAT himself. John is such an inspiration

Glad to see you are sticking with the sport Larry, John is a great competitor and ambassador to the sport.

You can tell John is like Denis in their style of coaching. It is realizing that you don't "coach", you guide based on individual variables.

John is correct when he states starting early is the way to go. For some reason my connective tissue structure is good for armwrestling. I did not start until i was 38. I won a usaa amatuer national event my first yr in 220-242, a local WAL event at the same weight. At 39 I went pro and was Oklahoma state champ at 220-242 in 2021 and 2022. Won a bunch of smaller events here and there as well. All this being said, my joints have been the weak link. Elbow and shoulder issues have prevented me from competing as much as i have wanted to. So, it is much better to start at an early age and get every part of your body conditioned for the sport if thats what you really want to do.

John looks to be thickening up again for Dennis, I heard he’s not Feeling well but doesn’t want to use that as an excuse to back out, which I find awesome and shows his dedication to the fight. I do think Dennis is on a mission to take down the beast we know as Levan, guess we’ll see soon !!!

How you two met each other through armwrestling also shows a virtue of the sport. John once said the vast majority of everyone he knows came from this sport. So, it seems like a good activity for men, especially, strength-wise and socially.

Watch Larry’s videos from 3-4 years ago and he was so huge.. what’s crazy is he’s a lot leaner and not as big but still huge!!

Larry is so much stronger than people give him credit for in the arm wrestling world.

John is huge!

I could listen John and Larry talking over and over again. John is the GOAT of arm wrestling. Larry in the future may be the GOAT of... hmm... some disciplines and I`m not talking only about sports.

Id love to see magnus samuelsson vs brzenk that'd be awesome

I actually broke my arm in the same place as John armwrestling when I was 12. When it healed no one in my whole high school at 14 could beat me armwrestling right handed. I tried so hard to get into but my family was poor so I had no way now I'm about to be 34 and it's still one of my only dreams left. Id give anything to get help iv never worked out but I'm starting with all I have which would be embarrassing to mention. My dream would be to at least enter a tournament but also be prepared bc I'm not exactly young either

John thinking, that wearing that long sleeve is going to distract us from miring the bear paws that he has for a hand XD

This is why armwrestling is awesome. It isn't like bodybuilding where there's a well known lifting protocol. Everyone is different. With different styles and so many different variables.

Sir i am your biggest fan from INDIA. Sir i want to ask that are Hand grippers effective for increasing FOREARM Strength??????

John Brzenk was undefeated in his prime.

What’s funny is John literally admitted that Devon’s method of going around and armwrestling everyone is the way to do it.

Larry pls ask John about his brother Bill Breznk and post the video. Where is he now? And about Johns father is he with John? Does anybody have an idea.

Larry you should talk to Allen fisher

The GOAT of ALL SPORTS!!!!!!

Larry, how about coming up with a strength and conditioning plan for John to improve his strength and endurance. I think he needs some help in what to do especially for cardio which is ultimately what's holding him back from being the champ again.
