The reason why Devons lift is so good is because you have to apply alot of back preasure while also fighting the torque on your pronation. Id assume thats what makes it one of the best lifts in terms of training arm wrestling movements with high levels of resistance ie. Heavy Heavy weight. The reason I think he does it squating is to reduce that amount of leverage he can apply with his back and legs insuring that hes getting more isolation on his arm than doing a compound lift with his back and legs in a standing position.

Not to mention, Devon isn't even lifting his max when he does the lift. He's explained he sets up his workouts to be easy, no huge strain in order to limit injuries. It's training for him. Trying his exact lift seems to require some pretty perfect form in order to match the lift. Even the length of forearm makes a big difference with this one. It is also hard to call it a pronation lift since a bunch of other muscles are involved. Maybe a truly isolated pronation lift could be interesting, although I'm not 100% certain what that would look like. Give it a shot, but I'm inclined to think there are multiple ways to tackle the same thing.

I never like doing pronation when the pressure is in front of you straight down from the floor. I think engin and vitaly pronation training which is pressure from the side is much better, i feel it targets more true pronation, while devon style only target half pronation and half elbow flexor.

your pronation is locked out in the set up, and most of the time you pull back not go side way, you would never set up with a palm up hand then start pronate your opponen hand over to your A side which is why Devon train it this way. It's the most accurate and translatable to the table. He's been pulling for years and currently holding both heavyweight and super heavyweight belts, and for the past year and a half, he never lost his pronation, so let's not act like Devon doesn't know anything and just does this for fun.

@@meitwasnt6705 When a match starts which direction is most force applied to? Is it straight down to the table, or towards your opponent? Devon's lift is tailor made to create a sticking point. All force in going directly down. I truly believe if Devon ate 💩💩 you'd vouch for it. Respectfully.

@@notanotherclubmember mate u literally have no idea how it works. Toward your opponent or toward the round, both will try to open your hand just the same. The angle of Devon lift when put on the table is the same at when your opponent pulls your hand toward them. At least go back to high school and learn physics before talking shjt. This is just basic stuff.

Ermes’s laugh is always amusing & entertaining.

I’ve been doing this list for about 7 months now I like it I am a long lever though like Devon look I think it’s fine it works for me so I keep it in the program but I also do other styles of pronation it really is more of static pronation strength not letting the weight turn you over and letting the connection of your arm be one so it’s a great static lift but don’t forget to do other styles of pronation along with it it will make you complete

I think it’s okay for Devon but not great for other lifters. Maybe put it in as a variation now and then. Theres a lot more effect ways to train pronation with back pressure.

Yeah I do full range of motion pronation belt curls, as well as Devon’s style static pronation lift, I do it squatted like him sometimes, as well as sitting on a bench, and I do it in perfect form, arm parallel with the floor at the start of tension, and my hand held in a rigid straight neutral grip throughout the lift, Knuckles facing forward, not upward. But yeah, I think it’s a productive lift.

It has potential if implemented properly, but it isn't optimal nor necessary for training pronation.

Try lighter weight but try to emulate the EXACT form as Devon, whether crouching or standing up, and then work your way up to a weight close to your 1RM at that technique

Some of you may say is not exactly the same as devon but I think is the same and muratov and prudnik are lifting the weights like nothing meanwhile devon struggles alot. The power of devon on his lifts is not enough

Do what works for you on table

That particular lift is only for people who King's Move, that's why Devon kicks his wrist back

I think the only person that has done the Devon lift correct is MMT lol. Most always cup their wrist instead of kicking it back. Does make the lift tougher and if they gonna brag about beating Devon at his own lift, then they need to do it correctly lol

Depends of your style of pulling. Devon for him its revealant no doubt. But its may only be revealant for him

Yes, it's overrated. You're just holding the weight with a bent arm locked. You aren't even lifting it with your arm, it's more just straightening out your upper body. Also it depends on where you put the strap. Some have it just hand while some have it more further up and on or past the wrist (which makes it easier).

Legit af. Everyone tries to duplicate but end up cheating one way or another.

The point of this lift is static pronation. If your palm starts supinating at all, you're going too heavy and not getting the benefit. Prudnik's form for Devon's lift would get 3 red circles in a powerlifting meet. Crazy strength just to lift it off the ground like that, but both he and Alizan, or however you spell it, start getting open up, palm turn out, which means their pronation failed and it's now a bicep hold/lift. If you're not doing it right it's not working what you intended it too and likely your pronation isn't getting worked or getting stronger.

Personally I think it just relates to Devon and how he pulls

It's pretty much designed for anykind of outside pulling keeping your pronation strong and locked out in the set up is the key to win the center

Hell no not even close

Idk does one of the best AWs in the world regularly do it and swear by it? Heeeey maybe it is!!!!

It depends on the athlete Someone tall like Devon benefits. Shorter people less

So a 1.95m guy has different pronators than than 1.8m ? What about the 1.9m guy? Or the 1.86m guy? Let's not forget about the 1.65m guy and the 1.76m guy. Where is the threshold?

@@dodumichalcevski what levers has anything to do with a pronation lift? U mean only long lever guys need to train their pronators? Short guys don't ? And where is the threshold? 1.9m guy has longer lever compared to the 1.8m guy, but at the same time a 2.0m guy also has longer lever compared to the 1.9m guy? So where is the standard that says exactl how long is your lever that makes you benefit from this lift? No you're the one who doesn't understand how armwrestling works. This lift trains your pronators in the lock out position. Unless you're a pure hooker, this lift will help benefit your armwrestling.

I mean that has to be the stupidest question ever !! Does Devons lift help pronation. Well look no further than DEVONS pronator. I could car lees what you or any of these other guys think, because none of you can do the lift correctly.

Prudnik arm just blasting open every lift. No lift. Doesn’t count.

You are overrated 😂

Very overated
