Its the width of your wrist compared to your hand width if your wrist is very wide almost the same width as your hand or bigger you will be able to produce freakish power to enable you to control your opponents wrist . That being said work on extending your forearm stsmina then conquer

I would love to see Samson grow in this sport. He seems to be a fairly quick learner. Hopefully his interest continues to grow from here on out.

The problem is the money. There's just not enough money in arm wrestling to justify dedicating your life to it. I mean really, what do they make off a championship fight, like a couple hundred grand? Dude could instead get into boxing and then you're talking tens of millions for a championship fight. Even in MMA he could make more. Arm wrestling is unfortunately still like a backyard sport

@@matthewviramontes3131 the problem is only money if people aren't willing to put their passion into it and help grow the sport. Prize fighting wasnt always something people made a living out of either. The average NFL salary in 1970 was $23,000 a year (an average driven up by contracts like Unitas'), and plenty of players had regular jobs and played football on the side. None of these sports would have left the back yard without passionate people willing to make a sacrifice to help make them grow.

@@theangrypelican5270 Or the current top arm wrestlers can refuse to pull unless the purse is way higher. That's one thing Bobby Fischer did in chess, he just outright refused to play unless they paid him more. Because honestly, both Devon and Levan should be guaranteed at least a million a piece for their upcoming match, but I doubt they'll even get a fraction of that.

That was excellent! I ran into the same issue with my 6’9” God Brother with 9.5 inch hands who outweighs me by 80lbs. I could hook, rise, and cup with ease, but my pronation was nullified when he wrapped that catcher’s mitt around my hand. It was so strange being able to supinate, get tight, and hook him like a baby, but having my top roll option totally eliminated. I suppose I could have played the Cobra Rhodes game and re-gripped if I wanted to force the issue, but in the straps I don’t believe top rolling would have been an option. You need to get that guy hooked up with Big Marcus. I can’t even imagine what he would be capable of in a year or more.

Dude, you are doing an awesome job promoting.

Ryan , this is the sort of video I have been saying was needed ever since I became interested in the sport . It's highlighting the special " David and Goliath " aspect that makes Armwrestling so intriguing to people who are not yet fans. 👍 Can I make a suggestion ? ... The AGE factor , that a man in his 50's can still be competitive is almost unique to the sport ... An interview with JB would be an obvious thing to include !!

What a great experience Ryan gave Samsom, you could tell in the end how much he loved the experience, he was so hyped and happy

Awesome, looking forward to the training session 💪

Great idea for an episode, it is sometimes baffling to the masses how someone so much smaller than their opponent can make them look so much weaker. I think apart from the experience and the hand control knowledge, isn't it also years and years of hard work and table time, to build the tendons, ligaments, bone density and all the other smaller muscles besides just the biceps and triceps. Muscles that are only really triggered when pulling against an opponent.

I heard that Chinups / Pullups are the BEST Arm-wrestling exercise. It makes sense, it's hitting your back, your forearms and your biceps, all the primary muscles you'd use in arm-wrestling.

That was great content Ryan. More like this please.

This was pretty cool, I hope you do more content like this.

This movements from Samson were very impressive in the last round. Very intuitive and right. I would say, he is a natural Talent and should try armwrestling more often.:-)

You can lift all you want, but that ligament and tendon strength developed from pulling live one a table year after year is a different animal, some guys arms feel like a dam hydraulic press or a bunched up bundle of steel cables.

This was the funnest informative 21 minutes I've seen on KZread since dropping and fixing my transmission. Good Show!!!!

Brilliant video Ryan. Make this into a series, make similar videos or anything with this level of effort and your channel will see the improvements! Fantastic work.

Your new turn, to varied, and higher quality production, AND content is really engaging. I will have to look you up when I visit form the States next time.

Really enjoyed this video Ryan. I feel like this will help alot of people new to the sport and allow them to pinpoint the important aspects of arm wrestling. Maybe another video on specific exercises for people starting out with minimal equipment could be next. Awesome job!

Great effort put in this video! Beginning, middle & end.

Awesome video man. I’m new to this content I like your style keep it up.

I barely started the video and this is already my favorite video. Quality content.

This was really fun to watch! Love the energy! Love how you tackled this very commonly asked question.

The intro, f... Awesome 💪💪💪. Well done Blue👍

Yeah, enjoyable to watch

It was super cool to see Samson improving in real time without any real direct advice. You told him about the lat drag in the strap, sure, but look at his change in posture from the first round to the last. Hips were super far away from the table at first, his elbow was on the back of the pad, he was leaning super far over, exactly like the typical beginner. Then, by the time they got to the strap, Samson was MUCH closer to the table (almost exactly where he needs to be), he was coming forward with his shoulder in the press, backing it off when Ryan started applying side pressure, he was more upright, and was using much more of the pad. I just wanted to point this out cause I thought it was super cool how quickly Samson caught on to this highly technical sport.

I’ve watched a lot of KZread videos, but this is one of the more entertaining ones, thank you!

I remember when you would never dare to call yourself a pro arm wrestler, now I'm actually happy for you that you have a "title" and made it happen.

Had to re-watch this video! So good! Hoping to go to my first arm wrestling practice soon! Hoping to learn a lot of these techniques. Been doing some of the lifts that arm wrestlers recommend so hopefully that'll help.

I haven't seen a non armwrestler friendly video in a long time. Great content as always man, huge for the sport what you do!

When I studied Exercise Science in college, the first thing you learn is there are TWO PRINCIPLES that govern exercise - SPECIFICITY and OVERLOAD. And that sums up ALL exercise. Train the specific muscles and energy systems needed for a given result/sport using progressive overload with the right FREQUENCY, INTENSITY and DURATION and then add in proper nutrition and rest/recovery and you have everything you need to be the best you can be physically. Fine tune and tweak each component properly and you'll be a winning athlete. Add in the right mental attitude to fully realize those physical traits you developed. Add in the right genes to be the best in the world. That's all you have to do. Do any less and you won't realize your potential.
