@@connormatthews522 there is a video of him pronating a 45kg dumbell when he was that skinny. They used to call him bionic arm, but now he got jacked so he's called gladiator
Absolutely. His transition Is probably what makes him so strong. He Just needs a Little bit of advantage with the toproll and you are done. Sadlt against levan he can't use his toproll because levan Is something else.
@@praveen3018 4-0 for levan. easy work. i dont know why you tryna argue here with no arguments. ermes is your favourite, i get it. but stop, turn off youtube touch grass bud
Yeah, they are like: "Oh Ermes came from losing to Mask in 2019 to being the monster he's now", not knowing that he was still recovering from an injury that lasted several months and so was probably in his worst condition ever! They really know nothing, but thanks to @Lagia now more people will know
Absolutely Amazing. When you see the size of his frame, it's hard to imagine that he beats guys like Chafe and challenges Levan. Definitely on the pound for pound list.
out of all the top guys Ermes looks the most normal, in terms of body proportions and muscularity. He looks like a big dude, but he doesn't look freaky.
@@wesleyb1458don't worry about this guy bro I'd you even mention in a comment section that Levan isn't your favorite arm wrestler or that Devon is actually good and strong he instantly appears to type paragraphs
Ongarbaev is also way better and stronger now. Imo ehe has even more potenial than Ermes. But question is how much he will go up in weight. I would like to see Devon vs Ongarbaev (same weight), also Ermes, because i think now Ongarbaev is a badass in terms if skill level. But i don´t think Ermes will go down for next 5 years. But we will see.
That's why I think people who comes from other disciplines with already a ton of muscles will never be as good as the current top superheavyweight class like Levan, Ermes, Revaz,... Those guys might have all the muscles, but the experience and muscle-mind connection of years of experience cannot be shortcutted (unless someone comes with a rare talent for the sport and not only muscles). If they hang along enough they might do good (even very good) but the top spots are reserved for the people who grows in the sport (especially those who grows from the lighter weight classes).
Yes, I believe in an interview Levan also stated a similar thing. And Ermes' progression was unique compared to most other super heavies, he is carrying the high-level technical requirements from lower weight classes with him into the open class. Not to mentioned his strength genetics themselves are impressive anyway
he got famous becuase of larry wheels. before his visit to dubai hardly anyone knew him outside armwreslling world but after he met larry rest is history
@@airgunningyup dude then you must be new to armwrestling, because Ermes was well known for an armwrestling community for a long time. at least after his match agains MMT because I remember it was big deal back then
And now compare hypejob Devon Larratt and the names he faced over his entire career, and the ones of Ermes he faced in his relative young career. Ermes has beatin better and bigger names than bum Larratt and is not even close.

@@Lagia7 yeah of course and I wish him the best. But I don’t think it will be sustainable for his structure to be 130kg for more than 10 years from now. So at some point in the future I think he will drop down to lighter categories
now he looks like he is the father of ermes gasp. from a few years ago; even levans transition looks for me more normal, than the transition of ermes. Levan was in his past also bulky, ermes was skinny but very muscular. he changes completly, he looks much much older than few years ago. his form was nearly the form of ongarbaev, now look to ongarbaev and ermes today. pretty unnormal transition

For those who were unaware Ermes has been a pound for pound nightmare for years before he went on his power pasta diet.
Yes, for me his lighter version and Ongerbaev are the true hidden monsters of arm wrestling
Then steroids took him to where he is today! In other words cheating! Isn’t it great that John Brzenk never needed steroids and beat all these other guys like Dennis back when they were young! Had to kill a guy like that 😁
Power pancake 😂

And then pound for pound Devon crushed him 🫡
Even as a "skinny" boy he was mopping the floor with competitors in Italy. He's so genetically gifted
And technically proficient.
He’s strong
Bro he worked 6 years in a marble quarry with his father no shit he is strong even his dad is super strong
He's a complete package with strong will power
he got his genetics from his armwrestling dad
It's a great reminder of how far Ermes has come climbing to the top. What a monster 💪
He did it the right way, qualityy my frennn
His iconic scream after the "ready, go" was already there.
Damn I like this guy.
Thank you Lagia for reminding us how much of a badass Ermes was way before he transitioned into superheavyweight category.
Dude always been a warrior
That's why he is special, he was super strong even when he didn't look super strong.
yeah for real, in his early days he didnt even look like he lifted really, i know builders more jacked than young ermes haha
@@connormatthews522 there is a video of him pronating a 45kg dumbell when he was that skinny. They used to call him bionic arm, but now he got jacked so he's called gladiator

Ermes one of the few whos been arm wrestling his entire life
He was already a monster. Pound for pound strongesg armwrestler.
the father of Ermes, Massimo Gasparini in italy is a legend of arm wrestling, 14 titles won, he is also a son of art. but Ermes is on another level...
Genetica
ERMES is something else all he won against some of the very popular arm wrestlers at his young age.
Absolutely Amazing. When you see the size of his frame, it's hard to imagine that he beats guys like Chafe and challenges Levan. Definitely on the pound for pound list.
Ermes won his first italian national title COMPETING FOR FUN WITHOUT TRAINING
that is how much natural talented he is
Ermes is the best
Most people are unaware of his career before he became a super heavyweight
what was he doing before?
I was I admit I just seen him losing to Matt Mask had no idea years before that he was a crusher amazing man.
I have known ermes from longtime and he is been one of my favourites before he become famous.
I knew this guy has that potential in him.
Ermes is a genetic freak. He has strength, technique, steel tendons...
And maybe, the best hand/wrist in history.
🥇
Levan is stronger.
Does John not exist?
@@FightClass3 not pound for pound

@@giulio_yt651 You have proof?
I didnt know he had beaten some of those names what a beast haha
Whenever i hear his name only power comes to my mind he is born to be no.1armwrestler in the world💪👍
The man is a top roll master , only quality since he arm wrestling my friend
he's one of the most ferocious armwrestlers ever. Warrior spirit. Lion-heart.
The one against undertabler was the most satisfying of all
seeing how he climbed and continued to transition between toproll and press against michael is beautiful
Can really tell when he started upping his weight and aiming higher, i forgot he beat trubin so long ago
Awesome video. Ermes is a beast.
Great video, some people don't know who was Ermes before
If Devon defeats Ermes, Ongarbaev can already send his belt to Devon.
Crazy how Ermes has literally never lost. Best armwrestler ever
...he has lost, many times 😂
@@s8theninjawarrior916 like Laratt
@@Andrei19Maran ok... like anyone maybe?😂 even Levan
He Lost 3-2 against todd that day. But with todays rules he would have won.
@AndreiMaran19 Devon is living inside your head so bad you bring him up completely unprompted
Here's the difference with Levan, he was stronger then the other even when he was lighter then them
out of all the top guys Ermes looks the most normal, in terms of body proportions and muscularity. He looks like a big dude, but he doesn't look freaky.
He was also very strong at that time😮😮🤗🤗
I can't even imagine how strong he is now, imagine Levan holding onto your arm, and he can't pin you....
he destroy organbayev in same KG category!
No one can beat Ermes pound for pound.
Awesome to see he was such an incredibly strong armwrestler even before bulking so much.
Seeing the guys he's faced and who he's beat it's no surprise how good he is!
Looks like Ermes had worked out the key to MMT before anyone else had 💪🏼😁👍🏻

He lost that match sadly.

Talented and true power house

Epic, pure quality my friend 💪
Even though he lost, he looked against MMT even better than Ongarbayev imo.
His top roll was obviously stronger then Ongarbaev but in his match with Micheal the kings move was allowed which made it even more difficult
There is a video (Issa channel) that shows Ermes clearly getting a third pin over Michael (referee didn't see it)
And that Todd was on another level compared to this Todd...
@@CataCiotlaus That and that version of Mike was superior in every way compared to the Mike that Ongarbayev faced.

Him destroying Michael todd lol that was gold! You know he was screaming foul! Foul! Wheres my f**king hammer!?

How? Ermes is now almost 30 kg heavier, not one but two weight class separate the two
Impossibul my frend

Ermes would rip through ongarbaev even before letting ongarbaev know he is being ripped
Nice clip, top Ermes!🔝🔝🔝
I really don't like Todd's AW technique but I can't deny the legacy he's created. Ermes win over him in this video is INSANE

Really great music by the way.👌 What's the name of the song?🙂
