Thank you for the attention, have a nice day.

will somebody with a relatively strong grip lose (at least in the match start phase) to somebody who has more of finger containment power in an equal setup?

Hi folks. On a trip away in Japan at the moment and was trying to find somewhere to train in Kyoto and Osaka. Does anyone know of anything, very hard to find any up to date info. Cheers in advance

He never outright said he was quitting but he went back on his commitment to the sport. This guy said multiple times his goal was to become the best and beat Levan and the moment he loses all of the sudden he has other shit to worry about. To me, that's the same as quitting. Call it quiet quitting if you will.

I'm late to the party but holy hell did I know this was going to happen lol. The level of cope in his Q&A vid is absolutely bonkers bro. They called me a hater for never believing in him too.

More importantly tho the community as a whole should place less expectations on any strongman/athlete who is getting into the sport because 99% of them will never care enough to reach elite levels, whether it's Brian, Smaev, Larry "Scammer" Wheels, Jujimufu or any other guy. Alas, they will always get hyped up because they're famous and because 99% of the elite armwrestlers have 0 personality

Inspired by posts on here to address some stuff related to Brian's posts and regarding his future with arm wrestling. Thoughts?

Don't really agree with his argument here that a strong person will beat everyone at the tournaments. Sure if you're strong where it matters and you're a natural like Filip himself is. But other strong people (including Brian) who aren't exceptionally talented in armwrestling would definitely find equal and stronger opponents at tournaments. Especially in the US where they have a huge scene and high local level.

Also competition start is always different. Different from sparring or mock up matches too. If you go to a tournament every few months you can easily get 30-80 ready gos in a year in a competition setting. Compare that to doing two supermatches a year when you get 6-10 ready gos.

Realistically how much would the avarage bodybuilder lift on those lifts if he never done them before?
