I can hear this guy talking all day, really informative speech and he's a true gentleman.
Extremely true
Its so fun making these videos we are laughing most of the time, thats what happens when you do what you love.
Lebneneee wle
@Auto blipper Yes, I`m the worst....
@Auto blipper :D
Coach Ray, Janis, thank you both so much for regularly putting out these videos. It's awesome to get info and thoughts about training from both of you guys. The fact that you guys both do so well in competitions not only proves that this stuff works but it also shows that there is no substitute for old fashioned hard work. There are no shortcuts but for optimal results you must work both smart *and* hard. 👍💪
You shouldn`t look at what we do to find out if we are legit or not but guys that we train. Thanks Robert!
Janis seems like such a jolly man, always smiley and chill.
I just arm wrestled friends, but i did Travis Bagent's routine and I studied his style closely and trained with bands and nobody could even touch my wrist or bicep angle. I built up my static bicep hold to 105lbs (it's a lot for me) and side pressure to 60lbs.
Training is very individual process. That is great If You have found what’s working for You. And stick to it and keep getting stronger. - Janis
Janis is such a cool dude
:)
everywhere
Good point made here-just b/c the muscle looks good or bigger does not mean it's stronger or will give you the desired result.Sport specific training is paramount!
This channel is awsome... I can't belive I have only recently found it!
Where were you all this time?
New arm wrestler. Love the channel. Keep up the great work, brothers.
Keep the content comin, guys. Love this channel. Could you maybe do a vid talking about structuring an armwrestling gym schedule, how often to train bicep/pronation/supenation/cup/etc? Perhaps even a written-up week of routines on a dry-erase board? I think this would be super useful for those of us getting started transitioning from traditional gym powerlifting schedules to armwrestling strength training.
We have talked about this so many times on podcasts. Go to voiceofarmwrestling.com there are sample plans. Its always your own adjustments-what feels better when.
Todd Hutchings has a full workout schedule formatted over the course of a week. Ryan Bowen does it (and explains it) on his TH-cam channel. It's arguably the best workout for general fitness focused on arm wrestling. Michael Todd's circuits are also amazing; Mr. and Mrs. Monster is the channel. Both offer strength gains and blood flow/repair so you don't have to take time off.
You're the man Janis. I hope and aspire to be half the armwrestler you are one day!
😁😁😁 thanks. - Janis
Thanks for posting very beneficial, “ I just want strength forget looks” Lol Love it !
You are welcome!
Great video! This helped answer a bunch of questions I had about training biceps. Thank you.
You are welcome!
I'll never get over how wild his eyes are.
Good vid guys!! MMA was my thing for years... I'm transitioning to arm wrestling now that I'm 43. Not quite as abusive to my body. So i need all the tips i can get. By the way, any tips for supplements that will help with tendon strength? Besides HGH, i can't afford that right now lol. Thanks 💪💪💪
Try a collagen supplement with various types of collagen (I was using bone broth powder, I need to get back on it tbh. Bone broth powder also contains a diversified amino acid profile which is generally a good thing). I think it's type 2 collagen that is most prominent in tendons, but you can Google around and find research papers on it. I also think hyaluronic acid and, of course, more standard joint supplements like msm, glucosamine, and chondroitin are helpful.
@@yellowpanda738 Yeah man I tried that years ago. Along with chondroitin. I'm going to start taking it again for prevention. I actually tore a ligament in my left elbow years ago. Luckily it wasn't my right but now I'm just trying to keep them healthy. I can't remember it being real effective for that injury in particular but I know a lot of people swear by it. I think it's best to help prevent injuries or help with pain like you said, whereas I had an actual tear at the time.. Funny enough, you can actually buy cow colostrum in powder form that you just drink and a helps the tendon strength, inflammation, gut health and all kinds of other things. Sounds funny but it's really good for you. Bone broth is excellent as well and has glucosamine and chondroitin in it and i just started that a few days ago. Just wanted to get as many ideas as I could. I'm not a pup anymore so I need all I can get. I'm going to stock up on some good joint, tendon, ligament shit. And I don't hate you man LOL. Just like to have fun that's all, thanks! 😁💪💪
Cissus quadrangularis is awesome for tendons of course most of stuff guys suggested.
@@roberttaylor8906 Thanks Robert!! 👍👊💪
@@voiceofarmwrestling Thanks man! I never even heard of that before but I did a quick search on here and saw some posts. I'm going to go watch some videos right now 😁 Thanks dude!
Are all of you only specific training guys listening, the world champ does full range of motion when not before competition. Keep that in mind.
For this type of cable machine, the equivalent weight is half of what the stack weighs. So you put 40 kg on there it's equivalent to 20 kg dumbbell. When you tell this to people at the gym it really crumbles their ego because they are lifting much less than they thought they were.
Great idea couch,i love arm wrestling sports,
Coach
This is why I said I do cable curls on your previous free weight curl video. After years and years of free weight curls once I found arm wrestling I realised how weak I was with a close angle due to free weights hitting your biceps the most when you have an open elbow angle.
People arm wrestle me and they blow out that I feel way way stronger with an open elbow. I love the kings move/open top roll because my bicep feels really strong when my arm is open.
finnsk3 the braquial biceps is actually stronger past the 90 degrees angle than any closer
EXACTLY! 100% agree
@@shinrionah5698 that would make sense. The guys I train with have always trained arm wrestling specific movement and close angles so they feel really strong when they have a close angle but if I open them up with back pressure they lose most of their strength. With me due to years of strength training they open me up and my bicep just stops them. Against me it's better to just go straight up sideways as I don't have much sidepressure, I just have a lot of back pressure. I have been training arm wrestling for 9 months so I am slowly building up my sidepressure and tendon strength.
It also makes me laugh that Janis starts adding sidepressure when he is failing. When I do that movement my sidepressure fails when I go to heavy and I end up just curling it. I can curl the same weight as Janis is doing in this video but I can't use any sidepressure. My sidepressure maxes at like 30kg true weight.
finnsk3 yeah, obviously if you train close angles you’ll become good on it, but the natural strength on biceps is greater on middle angle of rom, but realistically, short guys are better training open angles because we have disadvantage at the start so we always have to catch hits on an open angle, but if you’re taller with longer arms you’ll benefit more of close angles
It's incredible how you're great guys!!! Sublime advices and content !!! Hope one day I meet you
One day for sure!
@@voiceofarmwrestling yes i'm sure dear
Thanks To both of you for all those great advices
You are welcome! :)
The best information from this armwrestler !!!
Thank You
Very Informative coach
Very informative Coach
i love this guy because he has no ego
Biggest ego of all :D
-Ray
Awesome video guys. I started training my arms like an armwrestler half a month ago. I really got interested in Armwrestling and becoming stronger. Btw Janis is my favourite armwrestler now
Thats awesome to hear.
Nice explanation, everyone should find this helpful. You guys deserve much honor for making these.
Have you ever put a Digital Crane Scale on the cable to see exactly how much weight you're working with?
Yes we have tested our system it little more over half in real weight as an example 50 kg is 35 kg in reak weight, but 100 kg is 65 kg in real weight.
@@voiceofarmwrestling So is the Jedi really lifting 100 lb when he is curling?
That is one strong man if he is really doing that 5 times!
It was close to that
Thank you janis for information about arm wrestling love from India.....
💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
I was having the same question, and u made a video about it..
Really helped me very much... I really liked the channel ... Thanks very much for helping me out. 😍
:)
10:52 50 kilos curl with 1 arm for reps? Wow very strong
I can barely do 50 pounds... For 1 rep. Janis is world class.
Lol Janis says "getting heavy"
@@rileyneufeld7001 Yea, I have only done like 30 pounds dumbbell max (full range of motion)
The heaviest i did it was 54 kg on 2 hands and 20.4 each hand ( i could go like 4.5 k each hand but it fucking hurts on the elbows)
And my mind is blown when i see this guy
Last as every time and never mind to be first or last I am cool and still here on this precious vlog.
You can't possibly be last, it's been just 46 views man lol.
@@thanostitan.infinity
Yes, you are right
We appreciate that you came! :)
@@voiceofarmwrestling
And I always will 😀👍🏻 have a nice day.
Thank You, have a great day too!
Thanks for the great content! You are two of the most knowledgeable arm wrestlers out there. When is the Jedi’s next match?
Soon enough we will know.
Denis does classic bicep training and he is arguably the best that has ever existed.
One is does. Other is doing mostly. Third go look at how he was doing the exercises!
I love the workout program you guys made! 👌
Awesome
How much for a training programme?
A lot of really useful information here!
Glad you think so!
Nice video janis bicep 💪👌👌
:))):)))
It is funny that many people think that pull ups and biceps training are similar but the force that can be generated in the pull up position is much more than can be generated by the biceps alone--I think as much as 3x or 4x for a well developed body builder
Hola gente, muy sustancioso se agradece 🙏
Ahora la consulta es, entrenan cardio? Cuantas veces por semana? Que tan importante es en este deporte? Gracias de antemano desde Arg 🇦🇷
Great video as always! Great explanation, and great teaching, cant wait for more!
One question where do Janis get the killer tshirts he have on for this an other videos? They are pretty fun!

@@voiceofarmwrestling hehe this was wrong i will comment to other guy i am sorry janis is just great armwrstler and teacher
@@voiceofarmwrestling en man comments janis vs hale well be war and i will comment to him not really because janis is much stronger
@@voiceofarmwrestling Im just gonna sit over here an hide in the corner now xD I looked at the site, but missed the eye because of the wrong color showed in shop.
Cheers
Perfect information as always thank you guys!
You are welcome friend! 👍🏻💪🏻
I learned it very well when I tried to armfight a professional armwrestler...almost tore my pronator (I stayed 1 month with a semi-rigid bandage and my arm bent).
No more arm wrestling for joke eheheheheh
Its no joke! :)
I can't wait for JANIS vs HALE 2. It's gonna be war.
not rly... janis is top 3 lightweight champs of all time. It will be like walk in the park for him :)
Has this match been announced?
@@milekitanovic agree
Janis: it's only maybe 27.5 kg(60 lbs), not really heavy
Me: Can't even 1 rep max 60 lbs😣
Great advice
"Left arm is not for armwrestling, can't even hold a spoon with left arm'
LMAO I thought that was hilarious 😂
:)))
Im lefty and im offended with that statement >:(
Every time he make video that he workout.... I love it.
Keep up 👍👍👍
Also its look like he got big tricep, do you train them also specific for armwarstling ?
We will do in future.
Monster🙀👏💪
@ about 18:00 "angles" I guess you have to be ready if opponent pulls you towards him,tries to loom over you,moves his whole body around,tries to pull your elbow away from where it is supposed to be,even tries to control your hand and/or wrist angle
then there is one who tries to get the meat of his hand around your fingers and squeeze so as to hurt you but I think that is outright cheating and if in a refereed match the ref is not supposed to allow that-usually friends such as you have don't do things like that in friendly competition
Thoughts about side pressure training? Do you know some pro athletes who became champions without using so much side pressure? (like their main move is back pressure and drag)
You still need at least enough side pressure to finish match. But it is possible to live witjout it if you drag and hand is powerfull enough.
@@voiceofarmwrestling Thank you
Where do you get those straps for the pull machines you use?
Hello sir.
Is it better to use dumbell or strap/belt for bicep training for armwrestling in hook?
Yeah you right,he is freakin strong!
:)
Great content ..
:)
@@voiceofarmwrestling it feels great to even be able to talk to one of the best, from the other side of the world
Great video. I’ve always done reps to failure so I do it until I can’t complete a rep. I see Janis doesn’t do this. Is his way much better?
Very rearly we work to failure. Failure will make your CNS to burn out and it hard to train or keep intensity that we are used to so we dont do that very often.
Great vid as always!
Btw, how old is Janis? Oo
👍💪, Born 1981 - Janis
Voice of Armwrestling if my maths were correct, he has SO MANY years to come and remain with ROBUST POWER!!
Janjs amolins vs sam harris for the WAL lightweight hammer in the finals in September make it happen WAl , i like sam but janis will walk through him
Go and post this on WAL page, maybe they will listen!
Voice of Armwrestling already did , hopefully they’ll listen , this is janis’s season , he just needs the shot
Janis will crush him
Can training with grippers help your wrist strength too?
Oh boi, Janis is looking ripped
Janis don`t get any food.
Вопрос :)
Разве бицепс не основной супинатор? Это же значит, что доворот внутрь напрягает бицепс ещё лучше, это его функция.
Просто рассмотрите точку крепления бицепса на предплечье, это же сделано чтобы вращать кость бицепсом
What is that belt call?
i want to buy some of it......
How often are these exercises performed?
Once a week
@@voiceofarmwrestling so if you do this once a week do you perform any other exercises for arms during the week or is it total rest after
ray whos your favorite top armwreslter? (top division as in top8)
Janis has always been my favorite arm wrestler, but I absolutely love Ermes Gasparini toproll.
Ermis vs Matt mask will be great match of toproll strength and to compare Europe vs north America
@@LYFJV not very fair since matt is 50lbs heavier than janis, but idk janis is incredibly strong
@@pluggothesluggo5509 I was speaking of ermis gasperini not Janis
@@LYFJV ohright my bad
Supreme forearm!
:)
Strong❤❤❤❤
4:08 nice biceps short head (not so short) distal tendon. Genetic rules!
:D
Dennis cyplenkov had huge and the strongest biceps in the world!!!!
What do you think about stretching the biceps to counter shortening? I think it looks horrible when people like cyplenkov cant fully extend their arms and walk around like a behemoth
100% stretching, massaging and working on antagonists to be healthy and have good movement.
Not related to this video, but can someone define what a "Super Match" is and what makes it different? Is it a one-on-one match, where the competitors are matched up beforehand for ONE big showdown, rather than a tournament style with brackets and multiple matches?
Yes. One on one vs brackets in tournament.
Does this workout add muscle size or just strength?
Main focus is strength. But it does not mean that good strength training will not help your muscles to grow as well.
If he gets any bigger, I feel like he might start sounding more like Arnold!
Ha ha h, that could happen, but Janis is in same weight for last 15 years he ain`t getting bigger just stronger.
@@voiceofarmwrestling is janis at the end of his physical prime?
Big biceps are still the most importantestest organ in mans life!!!
Kill this thing, Yanis. I wanna know if I'm the strongest man in the world..
What?
@@voiceofarmwrestling I'm quoting Travis Bagent when you pulled at John's Brzenk's house
😂😂😂 - Janis
11:56 That s exactly my reaction when i train my right hand :))
😂
Janis look like he knows your dirty secrets at all time
😀😀😀
Hmhmm...how much I would like to train along with you guys!...
Get to Latvia🇱🇻
FUCK! Janis is a beast best I've done is 60kg on a ez curl bar with both arms and only did 2 reps 🤣
:)
How can I train with Janis?
Get to Latvia🇱🇻
I'll see what I can do, training to go to worlds next year. I'm from California training with the arm benders and bill collins. I'll be closer to Latvia around the time for worlds
I like this guy, looking like a hairless Devon too lol
i want to asck how do u guys mange not to have wrist tendenites. I started haveing some on my left arm when I started useing fat grips.
Don't work trough pain, absolutely rest and put ice, once inflammation has got away start super slowly to strenghten that part. Tendons takes forever in both getting strong and heal
If you experience tendonitis just take food supplement with anti inflamatory. And rest is important after 2-3 days it will relax the tendon and you can go back training. Always go with proper form or else you will hurt yourself badly.
Guys your answers are on point, listen to the, Kovachev!
Hahaha I'm not even an armwrestler but a boxer! anyway i got several times in trouble with tendonitis caused by labor jobs and unproper forms of training. Every now and then i follow this channel to steal some tips like partial reps and grip strength, it really changed my view. Keep going guys
Thanks friend.
👍👍👍
:)
Biggest trap is when switching from bodybuilding to armwrestling...many unpleasant surprises..you have the perfect receipt for injuries/ strong muscles and “undertrained “ tendons that you will hit in unknown angles..
Vice versa is fine tho..
Hell Yeah, big arms give you nothing if tendons are not conditioned.
Takes some getting used to the different angles and wrist positions. Lots of painful learning experiences lol
Janis will hold 2 hammers. And hold them for a very long time...remember this
ur probably right
the latvian goat, a true aw natty
Yes you should be little more creative. But that doesn't mean you should switch workout programs often. I see a lot of guys switch their workout program and don't progressive overload. That is the biggest mistake.
Make video on diet pls
08:09 65 kg divided by 2 is 32,5 kg not 40 kg...
Thanks for comment. We are no that bad at math. But empty system weights 15+kg. So we use electric dynamometer to measure real weight. And main- Armwrestling is not about numbers but what You have on table. Cheers to all digital heads 😁😁😁 -Janis
You guys should do a video just like Devon's hook training video,with taped dumbbell and everything that would be great and title it devons hook training or something like that, you'd get a lot views on that one
We are not looking for views.
Can you tell please how many days a week to train for armwrestling?
As armwrestling directly or indirectly hit the biceps so how to manage it with training of other body parts like triceps,legs,back chest, shoulder? so that each bodypart is in equal proportion
I would recommend 3 times in a week. Go voiceofarmwrestling.com to find out more.
@@voiceofarmwrestling thankyou sir surely I will check.
love from India if possible make a video too.
This guy is like the russian Devon larratt
There is no Russians here.

Thats what lifetime dedication gets you.
@@voiceofarmwrestling true , I'm new and I love this sport 💪 sharing more videos vlad,you and janis ❤ hopefully I won't break a bone😬😬 GoodFvkingVibes❤ from the philippines🤘🤘 GOD BLESS guys
Wrong. Larrat said biceps is all for the sake of endurance.
Oh, then ignore everything we say.
@@voiceofarmwrestling Well. In fact, you all are rigth, and larrat is just an average ignorant opinion I was just joking...
😀😀😀
How about 80kg in one arm have a deal👍👍👍💪💪??!!
Whaaat?
Like Laratt?
full range of motion for every body part is such a stupid idea. What's generally more important for hypertrophy and strength is time under tension. Training for power is a little different, but it depends on the sport.
👍🏻💪🏻
Does Janis have his own youtube channel? If so, please let me know
This is our You Tube Channel (Ray and Janis)

@@voiceofarmwrestling Thankyou, this is my favourite arm wrestling channel. You guys are doing a great job👍

Haha Janis how will classic bicep training not worK? Denis Cyplenkov holds the world record strict curl and was the strongest arm wrestler in the world. Strongest bicep = strongest arm wrestler
Go and watch how he did these biceps curls.
@@voiceofarmwrestling I know how he trained but he still had the strongest full range of motion bicep curl on the planet. Who's to say that if someone else doesn't train arm wrestling but acquires the world record strict curl, that they won't be the best at arm wrestling.
Man he looks similar to Devon
How?
How old is Janis ?
38
his left bicep insertion looks weird
:D
Ciplenkova: Really??
