@@EastsideArmWrestling I didn't know that ! It worked well for you. I plan to join the club in September, the owner is former under 80kg national champion and brother of Aymeric Pradines (the guy who destroyed Robbie Topie at EvW 12) so it will be very cool and instructive ;)

it's actually pretty crazy and mindblowing with the fact that in my high school right now (Philippines). My classmate/friend (let's call him Mark), whose only 15 years old has very strong lifts like 113 kg bench, 56 kg pronation lift, 30 kg weighted pull ups, 62 kg strict curl, 72 kg seated ez bar curl, 145+ kg deadlift, can almost do a one arm pull up and more. He has like 14 in. forearms and 15 in. biceps, his arms are actually kind of like yours but a little more detailed and just maybe a little bigger. And he's just 68 kg No one at our school can defeat this guy in arm wrestling, almost no one can make this guy struggle. The closest guy to even make him shake and show signs of struggle is a 73 kg guy that does weightlifting and have even beefier arms. But even then Mark can still easily pin him but he seems to use a lot more of his strength compared to others, his head just shakes from struggle. But even with all of this said, he's most likely just at Level 3 and a lot of people around the world would destroy Mark. Heck, I think even this giant, beefy dude at my gym could give Mark a challenge. Just goes to show that being in an environment where you're stronger than everyone else makes you seem like an elite.

I haven't competed because I don't think I'm strong enough yet.

You should create a poll for this, I'm also curious about the level of your audience. But I feel like a lot of people consider themselves between two levels (like I'm between Intermediate and Advanced) so you might need 10 responses in total for this to be most accurate.

I was doing Larrat pronation and riser lift before and some band exercises, not seriously training for that, but i had manage to lift 28kg for pronation and 20 kg for riser (bw 60kg).

Hey Greg, Can you make a video about how cupping diminishes an opponents rise and pronation? Also it's types such as Cupping using the fore & mid finger as well as through the pinky. Discuss training cupping through dynamic movements vs isometric holds. P.S- Sergey Kalinichenko trains a fair share using isometrics, & i want your opinion on it.

Im probably approaching advanced. I've placed 2nd once and 3rd twice out of the last 4 USA state tournaments I've attended. Im at the start of my second year of consistant training, but I've pulled casually for many years. Im in the 165 lb / 75 kg class. I'd definitely say my back pressure is my weakest link. Out of all my matches, I've only lost one recently due to losing my wrist. Not to say adding more strength to hand control is ever bad, but back pressure definitely seems to be the slowest to grow for me. The number 1 puller in my state/class seems to be around the level of the arm wrestling wisperer, so it's definently frustrating trying to climb lol. There are 3 guys local on that level, but i think one of them went up a weight class. Technique only gets you so far. I definently have my work cut out for me. Lol. I should get there in the next 6 months.

Till this day couldn't find anyone under 70kg that can do anything to me on either arm, but as I said there very little competition where I live.

My man, if I had a "Gigachad" level, you'd be there, rockin' the runescape completionist cape ;) Jokes aside, IMO you're somewhere between Elite and World class. If we're talking about WAF standards, I'm fairly confident you're world class, but for SHW it gets a little muddier with EvW since the 115+ class is stacked with so many freaks.

I don’t think that would really matter too much. I believe that even naturals can attain advanced/elite/world class levels.

Yeah :/ must've been something wrong during the rendering or the recording software was busted

I'm kind of questionable on the gym lifts, Krasimir has stated in one of your videos that he has won world championships just lifting weights. The Russian puller Zaru super heavy with the black beard has stated that where he's at in Russia he doesn't have any sparring partners, so he has to travel where Dennis cyplenkov is. Plus there are old videos of John brzenk saying things like People quite before realizing their true potential. You gave a good example puller Janis in one of your videos. Botton line is I think you have to be willing to see how far your will go with hardworking and perseverance.
