Thankfully he let us know the contact lenses are fake and he’s just acting.

After having seen vitaly’s performance against alizhan, did it affect your prediction of this match?

for me a little I guess. I didn’t think Denis would be able to full on hook vitaly in the first rounds though anyway.

and vitaly flashing a 114kg 5’11” guy doesn’t make me think vitaly could do the same to 146kg 6”2 Denis

I still think denis wins and the match didn’t really convince me otherwise

your thoughts?

Devon vs Ivan: how does this one go?

I am seriously having a tough time predicting this one. Of course, I'm a noob who doesn't yet understand much about armwrestling, but here are my takes:

Pros in favour of Devon:

- hard to see him getting hooked, and he is still quite versatile on the left

- great defense, pronation is going to bust Ivan's wrist back surely. How does Ivan adapt from there? Doesn't he usually rely on cupping opponents in and either driving them to the side or stonewalling them in a hook?

Pros in favour of Ivan:

- Devon is going in with like 4 weeks of proper training, and has to cut 35 pounds in 5 weeks (won't be his SHW self like he was for Alex Kurdecha). His left arm is more vulnerable than his right: weaker backpressure, weaker inside game?

- Ivan's ability to hook is freakish, he has insane sidepressure and cup, and he is extremely fast. I can see him catching Devon off guard and getting him really close to the pinpad. He's given Morozov and Alizhan very tough matches

Thoughts on Weighted Dead Hangs For Forearm Growth And Arm Wrestling Potential?

Do you think weighted dead hangs is a good exercise for grip strength and forearm growth and potentially helping in arm wrestling?

Guys is it worth it to arm wrestle someone half my weight?

I mean there is a much weaker person who wants to have a super match with me his name is Jafar, how to convince him that he will be flash pinned without embarrassing him in a super match 😞

extremely loud pop in my elbow

This happened like 1 hour ago. I was training for the first time with a new club and at the end of the training while pulling in hook my elbow popped EXTREMELY loudly. The guy i was pulling with said he never heard something like this (me neither) .

Both of us lowkey thought my arm had snapped but fortunately my arm Is still there , It works fine , ive tried to push a bit against my other arm , pushups with different variations, pullups and even frontlever and It doesnt hurt, thankfully. Moving It around i can feel like very very light pressure in that point but no pain. The only thing thats maybe slightly painful Is pulling towards myself which i would rate like 1-2/10 pain.

Ive been pulling for a while and so does the guy i was facing and both of us thought i was in a normal position so idk why it happened.

My plan Is to rest at least for a week for sure but i was wondering if any of you guys know what It could be and if you maybe have any idea on what to do. Unfortunately i am not in my home country so i don't have all the recovery methods i would have at home but any help Is appreciated.

Vitaly

There is a very solid chance that he becomes the first double gauntlet holder. I think Devon should have accepted the title if he ever wants to have it again.
