Devon is always apologizing for how "simple" his lessons are but idk if he realizes how rare it is to have someone be able to condense their wisdom into incredibly simple and effective techniques...this man is giving out free masterclasses on the daily, what a fucking legend.
Devon is technically and psychologically so advance that just listening to him talking about arm wrestling is amazing. He has everything simplified but spot on.

As an obsessive athlete. Someone utterly obsessed with performance, I have the most respect for this guys mindset. He is absolutely fixated on his craft and he devotes himself fully to pushing those limits. It’s a deep rabbit hole but geez, the details are enthralling and adventurous. Shoutout to anyone traveling the path of self mastery. Keep doing your best.
There are many approaches to armwrestling training. Devon's method is one of the many. It is what fits him the most. When he was younger like someone mentioned, he did a lot of heavy classic armwrestling lifts. But with injuries and with his age, this seems to work best for him. A lot of useful information here though. Very very different from Eastern school of armwrestling training. I would definitely recommend total body strength training and this for armwrestling specfic training.. in addition to table time of course to practice against actual human opponents.
I would consider the eastern school as the best ( fits the most), devons training style is not possible for most people ( time AND revovery), questionable if its a good method even for him.
@@leonbremer4216 Yeah I was thinking along the same lines too. The Eastern school of AW training probably is the way to go for most people. However these micro movements that Devon does... it definitely has its place among the many methods of AW training. Probably best suited for guys having similar build and issues like Devon's.
i love how a world class puller and perhaps the second strongest arms in the world can give half an hour of advice and in the comment section some no name picks it apart as if hes shared in even a single percentage point of success in the same way devon has. JUST STFU FOR GODS SAKE MAN.
Dude is super simple, you cannot get more simple than this. People always want to complicate things, and do more and work harder (even if it is not required to). Devon is a old dude but he has a point that he be getting from all these years of his ups and downs of his career.
This mentality is actually applicable to almost all sports. I get in these ruts with cycling where I'm always trying bang out more watts for longer periods of time, almost to or at failure. I start to dread it, honestly, then I don't ride nearly as much. Bring the intensity down, should be something you look forward to, it's about the consistency. Damn good advice Devon, damn good 👍
Thats actually very good to hear. I was honestly worried that people weren't going to get anything from this, because I know this isn't the first time Devon has shown his training regiments.
I have a competitive powerlifting background (VERY loosely stated, and I’m NO champion) , but my specialty was the bench. For me, watching Bill Kazmaier go over the details and finer points for benching was like GOLD. And I can see this in the same way. Every little thing Devon is pointing out seems to be necessary keys to arm wrestling. Thanks for putting this up. It’s awesome vid. (1000 likes from me)
Devons training is so smart. My gains are coming alot quicker now that I'm doing lots of lifts throughout the day as opposed to just burning myself out in one workout
Man... I fuckin love this guy... everything devon says is right on point. I love how he talks about being excited to lift when he gets up in the morning... I'm the same way.
Someone get Devon some shoe's. He's got them Jesus slides. 😂 Man, just one of the many reasons we love him! Y'all aren't far down the road from me, pretty sure some of my fellow Mississippi Boys are there.
I love how with the multispinner Devon doesn't try and promote Armbet but just softly mentions that you can either order or make it, totally up to you. He has videos as well on his channel where he describes how to make one. I ordered one today just because I wanna support Devon and the sport but making one is stupidly simple!
I always find Devon's methods incredibly interesting. I wonder though, it seems that this style would be great if you are already a great, strong, arm wrestler. To build yourself up to be a strong arm wrestler you need a lot more, right? Or perhaps it's the Brzenk method, which Devon seems to have adopted: arm wrestle to be good at arm wrestling. So this would just compliment your actual workout which is done at constant practices. I'd love to see some in-depth discussions between Devon and other pros about this method of training.
I dont know how much experience you have, like you might be 10 years into armwrestling already, so it would be like telling my dad how to fuck right, but in case you are not, with my couple years experience I would say that if you have weekly practise there is not really much more you can realistically even do. Recovering fully from a heavy table time takes more than a week, so if you can manage to compliment that with this youre already doing "professional" levels of work. Just my opinion.
I just knew this was going to be mint before I even clicked on it! Awesome man! Devon is the man, seems like such a great dude. EvW or KOTT need to get you on board to produce some sick match videos like you do.
❤️🙏🤜🤛 Thank you. But I'm pretty sure neither production will allow me to come in and do my own thing. They want to keep it "in-house". I get it. Business decisions. Oh well.
Can you jelp me does devon mean that you should do 1 rep then go abt ur day and in 20 min again or do them until youre exhausted? Because he says think of them as singles, does he mean like do a single then wait a few sec then do it again or do a single and thats it?
same here when i used to do any sports wasnt warming up for any of it i just jumped right to it n just do it. never had any injuries bcus i trust that much of my body that i know what’s best for it.
Sounds like Devon has been listening to or reading Tsatsouline and "greasing the groove".... Good stuff, and it works. I'd be interested to see what Dan John's would say about armwrestling training.
I understand the idea of Devon not fan of warming up because he's used to be in army and soldiers don't warm up when enemy show up, they are ready to fight anytime and you're enemy won't wait for you finishing warm ups.
i mean i dont train armwrestling and have no idea about it but you just know from intuition that devon is an expert because he breaks so simple concept into so complicated and well thought process, its like reading ancient philosophers or something similar
Devon you a Legend as a Armwrestler, i love how you show the World that even if you 50+ its possible to work on yourself and still getting progress. You a great Coach, how calm you explain in simple way.Keep pushin, keep workin,keep movin.
❤️🙏🤜🤛 Thanks Levi. This was very off the cuff too. Devon started talking to Robbie and I grabbed the camera. I'd love to do this in a more refined manner yet.
If you're a beginner, then do full range of motion, in a wide variety of exercises, as much as possible. Devon is the elite of the elite, and he knows what works for him. You'll need to find what works for you.
No. I’d trust Devon over some guy any day brah. These work for beginners too learn about loading and periodization as a beginner and you’ll have no problem picking it up I do it rn and I haven’t worked out at all I’m just having fun hitting these singles and I’m watching my strength grow and it two pounds a day ( so far) with my dynamometer
The word I am waiting for is "a habit". You need to make it your habit, and your body will adjust over time to it, and that adjustment will be your advantage.
Larratt GOAT ?!? Good joke man, thanks for the laugh. This cheating fraud isn't even top 3 all time, let alone GOAT.

Right. It's hard to say. Some strength is pretty easy to build with regular gym lifts before you do the specialized stuff.
If you could lift 200+lbs on these two lifts there would be few people in the world that could beat you arm wrestling.
Devon gibt immer sein Wissen weiter, sehr ehrenwert!

Very humble guy. Very hesitant to enforce his way of thinking and training.
I think his "warm up" or lack there of makes perfect sense.
Even when I stopped training for a while- these two exercises with the belt have tightened my firearms up! They feel full and pumped always!
