    John B. has been the David defeating multiple Goliath's for decades now! No Tattoos, No "BAD ASS" persona, no taunting or games just straight brute strength by a true professional

      It's technique, experiance and specific strength. Arm Wrestlers train the forearm, wrist, supination very very hard. It's more to do with special exercises with weights not necessary full curls. In Desdlifting or strong man this guy would defeat John not in this area though.

    Just reading the comments I thought I would bump these facts to the top:
    - The strong man, Lars Rørbakken, used to be a professional arm wrestler. He came second in Europe in arm wrestling in 2007 in the 110kg + category (super heavy weight?)
    - His technique is fine, it's not an excuse as to why he lost to Brzenk. He knows how to arm wrestle.
    - He didn't get "cheated" somehow by a weaker, but more experienced opponent. He got beaten by a stronger, smarter opponent.
    - To win he needs to improve his strength in the areas that are important for arm wrestling
    - For a real "strong man vs arm wrestler" contest where the strong man doesn't know arm wrestling, look at Devon Larret vs The Mountain. No contest.

  • @johnbean3878
    @johnbean3878 9 ปีที่แล้ว +611

    The title is so misleading because this guy is Lars Rorbakken, average strongman but pretty good armwrestler!!! Guys look, he used unusual and deadly technique (dead wrist) which is very difficult to escape. Do you think strongman is able to do this with that kinda power? No. Only proffesional armwrestler with propper training can do that. Average strongman would lost in about 2 seconds.

    • @tomojulitaiga
      @tomojulitaiga 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +John “Kakiszaron” Bean Not at all. Tricep power is unefective vs a top roll. Brzenk beat him only with technique, in the top roll your using all your arm and body, it doesn't matter how strong you are it won't work if your fingers are controled with ease, it was just a matter of time. Very bad strategy from "strong man" this proved him a rookie.

    • @johnbean3878
      @johnbean3878 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      tomojulitaiga I disagree with you. Tricep power+flop wrist is very efficient If you fight against top roller. But you have to have the strength and technique to do this correctly. I've seen alot of matches where top roller lost because his opponent used tricep press with flop wrist. Lars Rorbakken has only one technique-flop wrist press. I've never seen him in a hook or in a top roll because he propably suck in it, that's why he sticks to only one technique. If Lars would try to hook John or top roll him he would lost in the blink of an eye :D

    • @tomojulitaiga
      @tomojulitaiga 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you want to see how a pro uses the propper technique check Haugland out. This guy is a strong rookie that probably just tsudied the basics. HE IS NOT A PRO.

    This is a PERFECT example of a VERY strong man that actually knows how to armwrestle VS the greatest of all time. Lars is 100 lbs heavier than John, has incredible muscle strength...and has a specialization in arm wrestling to strengthen those specific muscles.
    John recognized this and knew he had the stronger wrist and forearm and played him until he tired out.

    And he's still doing it now that he's over 50.

    Brzenk had already armwrestled a dozen men before. The strongman he beat was also a competition armwrestler. Brzenk = GOAT

    • @szymusiek1980
      @szymusiek1980 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      everybody, no matter if it's an olympic powerlifter or strongman or bodubuider - they would easily lost to any armwrestler (even a lightweight), if they haven't train for armwrestling. No matter how strong Brian Shaw or Savickas or Pudzianowski are, because they don't do a movements of armwrestler's kind

    • @johaneriksandberg
      @johaneriksandberg 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      szymusiek1980 What about former worlds strongest man Magnus Samuelsson? he used to compete in armwrestling before the stronman competitions I wonder how he'd do in armwrestling today, he's getting older of course but he's definetly alot stronger and bigger now than when he competed in arm wrestling.

    • @szymusiek1980
      @szymusiek1980 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Johan Sandberg he is bigger than he was in 1995 being slim, cuz the size gives a general strength (like at strongman competition). But it doesn't give anything to armwrestling, which rely on arm force, well maybe bigger biceps helps a bit. If he doesn't train for armwrestling, he must be weaker than when he competed

    • @jacknagy7962
      @jacknagy7962 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      szymusiek1980 It's foolish to say anybody would lose to even a lightweight arm wrestler. Technique is important, but it doesn't make strength and weight meaningless. Brzenk, one of the world's best armwrestlers and 200+lb, clearly had to fight for it against this strongman. The strongman would definitely beat a far less skilled, less strong and less heavy arm wrestler.

    • @David_Wigren
      @David_Wigren 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ***** Well Lars Rørbakken isn't just a strongman, he's also an armwrestler, a very technical one to boot! In this video he's using some techniques that only a small percentage of armwrestlers can pull off. So this video shouldn't really be called an armwrestler vs strongman. If John went up against someone who was just a pure strongman. Even if it was someone like Brian Shaw or Savickas, it would be over as soon as the referee said "go".

  • @jonathanchristopher1099
    @jonathanchristopher1099 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Though it may seem surprising, John taught in one of his training videos, that the angles used in arm wrestling require musculature and strengthening that are opposite from those used in weight lifting. This competition as many others of the classic David and Goliath type verify that this is true. And when you have larger trained arm-wrestlers, it then falls to the number of techniques that is in an arm-wrestlers' repertoire (ala Larratt's success).
