Brian.. after this interview I respect your brain as much as your strength.. such a pleasent person.. make sure you keep having fun.. its not just about winning.. its about beeing a great human being. Stay wise and humble.. God bless both of you and all in general. Lets be bros and have fun first.. with respect and love to eachother as human beings and then everyone wins every time.
Dear Brian, is it possible to get your supplements in Germany too? Keep it up and all the best, Dirk
Your such a genuine guy, your product must be legit!
Probably old news, if it isn't just my problem, but a/v out of sync by about 950ms from 1:02:40 to 1:16:50. Had to stream that part to MPC-BE to fix sync. :)
Devon is the reason armwrestling is so big today.
He said he needs to take a break because he has been so freaking active, and he told Travis to step in for a bit😂
Engin enters the chat:
not solely
Engin is a rising force of arm wrestling, East vs West was unheard of
good joke, you must've been born after the last rain
100%
grandma has so much aura for never losing to Devon
HER AURA EXTENDS BEYOND THIS ROOM
Yeah so do Levan.
@@KaninTuzi very technical
Yes it’s like we can feel her aura as the story is told
G-ma still owning Devon through Levan
It’s almost aggravating how humble Devon is. “A guy who likes to arm wrestle” as his introduction and he’s been on the most elite military operating team for most of his adult life. You can just trust a guy that doesn’t fluff himself in anyway.
He is a killer in every aspect. Crazy killer spirit. And so humble and such a family guy. Very incredible.
And people buy into the character he plays hyping a match and say he needs to be humbled lol. 😂
The good news is for his fans.
After everyone finishes throwing shade...
Devon usually wins.
I dig it.
Devon is a one in a generation type of guy.
Most Armwrestlers are super humble
I went to high school with Devon and Jodi. Devon was an excellent basketball player. Well 6’6” but he was coordinated. Everything he done he worked hard at. He had some crazy bush parties in high school lol. Still the same guy. Not arrogant just confident.
That’s really cool
What is a bush party?
Party in the woods@@robinlehnerd1475
@@robinlehnerd1475 It sounds like a wild swinggers party xDDDDD

Literally just scrolling for more Brian arm wrestling content and this drops, both icons 🙏
Heck yeah!
Amen. As a big old Canadian Devon and Mitch Hooper are doing us proud!🤣🇨🇦💪
😂💯
Devon is the reason many of us got into arm wrestling. Glad to see that he's looking healthy and teaching you the ways of our sport!
You mean thank grandma.
Devon is such a good story teller
DEVON LARRATT Is so charismatic love seeing him wrestle and talking.
So glad these two got together 💪🏻👑
Personally I don't think there would be anything better than Brian SERIOUSLY TRAINING arm wrestling and Brain and Devon having some SERIOUS MATCHES!!!
ABSOLUTELY would draw some SERIOUS MONEY on PPV!!
I am a young Italian who works as an orthodontist and I am passionate about songwriting and languages and probably because of this my TH-cam algorithm started to suggest me, together with Tik Tok, videos of this Canadian armwrestler, probably for his command of language. Now I find myself listening to him speak in a podcast (3 weeks ago I didn't even know he existed). The Internet is a wonderful place.
Beautiful people are all over the place. It's crazy that the best and strongest are the most humble and helpful. It goes against the current narrative. Yeah. The world is more Beautiful than we know. ❤
HOW has Devon not been on JRE yet? I wont ever understand that.
Joe is a clown
@@executioner_ecgbert884 Opinions vary.
I've heard that they have met but I don't understand it either what the hell is Rogan afraid of he knows Devin is popular. Lex interviewed him. So far Brian has done the best job with the interview.
A lot of it is what interests Rogan the most. Maybe he doesn't care much for arm wrestling.
I think devon mentioned this one if I remember correctly, he said he was invited but it was on levan match if he lose he will not probably not going to jre.. something like that.
Lmao when Devon talks about what it will take to bring down levon, he gets a weird twinkle in his eye while looking at brian😂
Levon
Devan
Brianzenk
@@vitorcampos_ Devon Lart and John Berzanek
Would take allot of time before Brian could beat Levan. He still looks awkward in the movements. Remember it's more than just raw strength. He has the potential but needs to build up the skillset and become comfortable on the Table 1st
He's training Brian. His Yoda if you will
Devon is the man, love the podcast 🤘
S-TIER Pair. Two giants in both physique and human spirit.
Devon sitting on that chair with the table up to his chest is crazy lol Brian is just a huge human being, really hope he learns this great sport of ours.
Brian's chair is raised higher. Look at where the seat portion is at between the two.
Devon is 6'5+ he is just slouching the rascal
brian has a huge upper body
His chair is jacked up higher
He's slouching. Devon is ~6'6", and Brian is ~6'8"-6'9"
Im from the ottawa area, i found armwrestling in 2004 through the internet. Eric Rousin posted something, i started going to practices on saturdays at mooneys bay beach in ottawa, i had no idea i would be pulling and learning armwrestling from Devon. I still have my table i bought off him. Great guy.
Devon is one of the wisest persons you will EVER come across in life. I am not even exaggerating
Except for when stuff gets political
@@i.c.wiener2750 I would expect a comment like that from a guy who loves weiner
@@i.c.wiener2750I would expect that comment coming from a guy with your name.
@@i.c.wiener2750 Yeah Devon has pretty terrible takes and perspectives about many things, many of his fans are extra delusional d1kriders lmao.
U can just like the guy for armwrestling and thats about it, leave the idol worshipping to his redneck and indian fans
@i.c.wiener2750 Devon’s politics are spot on as well. He’s definitely conservative based which makes me like him even more.
Brian is a brilliant interviewer.
Devon is one of the best story tellers and coaches ive ever seen. Dude is so interesting and has a helluva brain. I hope they keep collabing.
Devon is such a great man. Two titans of the sport with more humility then most
Show us the picture of the ax when you get it Brian XD
Definitely curious to see the axe he has at home!
Devon’s respect for John Breasnek is very apparent. A very enjoyable interview.
I love that Brian has knowledge of Devon’s Sons.
Breasnek 😭
John Brzenk
devon gives me motivation every time he speaks, its too inspirational
rip levan
Do you ever do normal shit like go to the store?
@@Martinokawmma wtf
@@danypell2517 yeah i understand how it looks lol but im heavy into armwrestling and this guy is everywhere all at once, no hate intended.
Doesn't that mean you're everywhere too? 😅@WeDoGamingDaily
@@MartinokawmmaRIP grocery store.
Brian is a great host, he just make the precise right questions, and let the others speak fluidlly
This is great and I think this is what this channel should be. You don't need to have constant podcasts like its your only venture forcing it. When you have these great folks visiting or near or even on their site, get in the pod time. Feels natural and is awesome content.
Yeah
THIS PODCAST WAS AWESOME!!!! I have not heard Devin talk about his past/life like this!! Keep it up B Shaw! Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
Devon needs to do a podcast with Martins. It would be the most slow dramatic talk discussion ever.
Devon’s ultimate opponent. His grandma
My brother Loves arm wrestling, we used to goof around together, having a few drinks both took trophies at a local bar, he has recently been training at 54 yrs old, i've seen his videos, I don't think I want to go against him, but been watching Brians journey he has a great foundational base to work with, I'm pulling for ya bro, pun intended!
Brian seems like a genuinely nice bloke.
He does seem nice
he is a loveable gentle giant! @@deltalima6703
It can't come quick enough....seeing Brian arm wrestling! So intrigued!!! Another piece to take this sport to an even higher level! Pretty cool!
the welding room story and tribute to the goat John love it devan thanks
After listening to this I understand why he has the nickname no limits, what a champ, vet, idol, some one decent to look up to, a real man. Cheers Brian for putting him on the podcast, this has been one of the best ones yet. Arm-wrestling would still be in the dark ages if it wasn't for this technical mastermind, always rising the irony.
devon is not just a guy who likes arrmwrestling, he IS armwrestling, he is a super special person that makes armwrestling super fun to watch and to dive in. I started armwrestling because of Devon and I know Im not the only one. If it woudnt be because of Devon, armwrestling would be dead
Definitely a surprise .A very pleasant one
Canadian legend and the reason I started arm wrestling!
Devon is an amazing story teller and his life is very fascinating. And You're a great host. Thanks Brian for this sit down with Devon.
John Brzenk paved the way, Devon Larrett widened the rode and put up billboards. Without John and Devon following after him, the sport would be a lot smaller, and much more obscure. We all owe them big time. I just met John Brzenk last week, I’ll meet Devon one of these days.
Devon Larratt missed his calling as a FBI negotiator lol. He has the Chris Voss late night DJ voice 😂
I love this
I have been a fan of Brian since the very beginning of his career
I was an active member of a popular strength forum over the years and Shaw was always the horse I backed and I said from day 1, this guy has the mentality to be the very best and he proved me right
I have also watched devons career closely and remember the sport when he was raw, but not quite at the top. Then from 07-08 he just stepped it up
You need to believe you can achieve greatness and that's what all these champions have in common. Plenty have great genetics, but not everyone will be a champion. It's a different mindset
Awesome podcast
Denovs grandma taught him how to trash talk😂😂
One of the best interviews with Devin I've seen.
ARM WRESTLING NEEDS BRIAN SHAW. GREAT PODCAST. THANK YOU DEVON.
Thanks brian for lettin devon just sit an talk about matchs an have him show some highlights this is great for the sport the amount of new people that will see this an be like holy shit i need to go check that out is great
Just started getting into arm wrestling as a spectator. Wow this guy is amazing. Just the mind game of staring and smiling while the other guy is giving 100% max and you don't budge.
That has to win right there. Your face just smiling 😁
Brian. You have to have Toddzilla, Todd Hutchings on next. He started ArmWrestling at 40, and used west side barbell system and adapted it to ArmWrestling
Travis. Travis is gold no matter what forum he's on.
Thought he started in mid 30s
he definitely should invite famous puller from his own country other than derek
The literal blood that was left on the table in the Dave v Vitaily match, insane!
1:06:20: That building a base to build a peak is a really good concept to have! I've just AW'd for 2 years and it feels like I'm all over with my strength level still, but as long as you just focus on the basics you will improve, even though there will be valleys between the peaks. And polishing your strengths is something that's really helped me, as even though I began with strong hands, even more solid hands doesn't hurt -- more strength is definitely never a weakness, even though it may not directly translate, and your weaknesses gets attacked even though you have great strengths in some areas.
Oh and thank you for this feast of a podcast!
Brian is so chill that he is the only person on the internet who doesn't set my teeth on edge typing in all caps.
Thats sound like you need to take a look at your own time spent online brother. If its everything you consume is mostly rage inducing. Stop getting suckered into clicking the ragebaits.
@@nia.d33agreed
Its great to see you respecting the sport for what it is and accepting that there is an obssessive level of commitment needed to be considered elite. A lot of other strength athletes dont really accept it and I appreciate you for doing it.
YES! Finally a Devon podcast. Get him on Rogan
And Shawn Ryan
He interviews ex service men
Why does it matter, oh I get it your a Joe Rogan NutRider LOL!! Your one of those people that believes everything Joe says is the bible...my god grow up you follower start being a leader I hope you teach your kids better or do you all set together and watch joe rogan like little groupies??🤣🤣🙄🙄🙄🤣🤣😂
This dude has always been so humble and welcoming to people. So cool to see him with Brian, who also very much seems that way!
Looking forward to this one. Thanks guys!
I have so much respect for these 2 guys. Both Devon and Brian are legends in their game and they’re both so humble, kind and an example for many. Amazing episode
2 very humble GOATS glad to see Collab and training. I love Brian's mind set for arm wrestling.
I remember starting to follow strongman and armwrestling around the same (2011).
Brian Shaw and Devon Larratt were actually the two guys in those sports that I followed closest.
So great to see them come together for training, and such a great podcast. Looking forward to seeing another meetup farther down the road! 💪
Edit: Brian if you are reading this... you have to get John Brzenk over to your gym!
2 GOATs. So much greatness in one room.
I really enjoyed listening to this podcast while i was working today, really enjoyed listening an Devon is a great story teller aye, makes you wanta keep listening, thank u Brian an Devon
Really enjoyed this conversation thanks ❤
I use to haul alot of hay and cut wood and log with my Grampa I was the strongest kid around back then till I messed my back up.
Best Devon interview , Brian is a natural at this pod cast thing . Nice.
What a great discussion! Took me a few sessions to listen to it all and it was all awesome!
lets fcking go, we need way more videos or these two💪💪
Thank you both 💪🏼
Devon is the man. Inspirational
Thanks man, for inviting Devon Larrat. Such a good one hour and half to spend time with ❤
This podcast really deserves more views man..
Could listen to these two chop it up for days. Two bad asses just chilling .
I didn't even know Brian had a podcast till right now lol.
2 absolute legends in their respective sports, awesome
Amazing podcast👌 get more armwrestlers on Brian💪🏻
Ditched 10th grade PE so much I failed the class, as a senior i still needed to fulfill those credits so on a whim i chose weights PE, changed my life
More more more!!! 🎉
Wow. What an inspiring interview 👏 these guys are real ❤ brilliant back and forth. Beautiful respect for eachother. A learning experience for the viewers. Bravo❤
Thank you Devon for holding out to have that conversation about connective tissue training. Brian stomped all over it lol😂
I would have liked to hear more about that, having a lot of tendon issues myself
What a great interview. Thank you for sharing all of that
This is the podcast I was hoping for
Its awesome seeing Devon get his flowers. He has brought so many eyes to arm wrestling.
Strength is the most versatile adaptation that has the greatest impact on everything else. Of course there is carry over among strength sports, it applies to ALL of life.
Moderate strength is peak health. Everyone should be doing it. Moderate meaning around 400lb deadlift. But competition strength is not healthy.
Okay cmon… I love strength as much as the next guy but the single adaptation that is most versatile is EASILY intelligence. And I’m no genius I just know that’s true.
@@thestonksmarket1897 yes, but strength is much easier to build and may well be second after intelligence. a born genius will remain a genius in most walks of life without really trying, while someone with elite strength genetics may never even discover them when he is on a vegan diet with the biggest workout being driving to the office and pushing the elevator button
The pure joy on Devon’s face commenting on the Chaffee match is brilliant! Loved this conversation
Wow. Legendary meet up
You guys are awesome! Totally agree with you 👍💯 So blessed to have and find something you're passionate about and then able to realize your dreams and to sustain your life. I'm 53 and have never found a passion like you guys.
It was the random youtube videos of Devon being a normal looking guy capable of beating 100 normal guys on the street in a row that got me interested in the sport. I can't remember the year exactly.
1st podcast in awhile I’ve tuned into and could just keep watching and listening. You two are a great pair and easy/fun to listen to. Kudos
Great interview Brian!!
I love these two being responsible adults about the prospect of beating Levan, but holding back a giddy childish joy at the possibility.
Starting watching armwrestling because of Devon
That vitaly/dave match was probably my favorite so far.
This doubled the amount of views from when I hit play
That was one of my favorites too
Glued to this. Knowledge is power.
This was just amazing to watch and to see the heart of Devon Larratt and Passion he has for arm wrestling,and just to understand the struggles and sacrifice he had to make to get to where his is make you understand why he goes full out and to understand to do something for the love of it and not the money makes a big difference 💪🏽🙏🏼
leaving a like and a comment before i even watch this, here we gooo
Was an awesome podcast! The content with Brian and Devon together has been really good! God bless you both.
That table and chair makes Devon look small :D
He's slouching too
That table is like 1000LBS i think.
6'5. Obsessed with fitness. Pride in his country. Calm cool and collected. 20 years of service. Shares that he was in the military and achieved his dream of joining the "special forces".
JTF2 is arguably the most secretive 1st tier military unit on earth. Only 1 person has ever released their true identity.
Devon might honestly deserve more respect for the things he has done across the globe than armwrestling, but we will probably never know.
Wild stuff man...
Only at Brian's house does Devon look like a little kid at the grown ups table lol 😆
I think Devon can sell sand to Saudi Arabia, guys is so passionate when he talks, absolutely mesmerizing.
Arm wrestling owes Devon alot imo, what a spokesperson.
Also, first time listener, love what you are doing Brian!
Big fan from Sweden.
Have you seen sand; "Raspy voice" (brings GIANT hands into picture).
Nice to see these 2 humble on the podcast, I'm a huge fan of both these athletes 👍 👏 🤙🤙
