    Steel wire ropes and hydraulic press arms. People think schoolboy is insane. Remember that John was winning his first world title at age 18. They are worlds apart in strength and talent. John was probably once in a lifetime sighting that rare. Giants just looked at him in shock and awe, bewildered. Doesnt make any logic sense to have that amount of strength for his bodyweight.

    He never looks worried or overly stressed, and he never seems to waste any motion. He's got perfect technique, and a lot of the extra muscle that the behemoths have doesn't help them. He's also probably naturally gifted in the tendon and ligament department. It's astonishing that he's been so good for so long with all that wear and tear.

      Everyone goes on and on about muh tendons .
      But google says the ONLY function of a Tendon is to TRANSMIT force FROM THE MUSCLE.
      So its still all about Muscular force in the end. But perhaps Brzenk’s tendons are more efficient, so there is no force leakage. I got no clue. But tendons themselves do not produce force

    I was introduced to arm wrestling back in 2008 when I saw John against Denis Cyplenkov. I had no idea who either guy was. All I knew was it looked like a freak show with a 300 pound muscle monster against a regular guy. Seemed rather pointless for such a mismatch. I was right, it was a mismatch. The 300 pound monster had nothing for John. Been a Brzenk fan ever since.

    When I was in the military, there was a kid who was normal sized and would beat all comers. I considered myself fairly good at the time, and arm wrestling him it was like arm wrestling a hydraulic press. If he decided to hold, you could not move his arm. And when he decided to put you down, it was as if the hydraulic arm was putting you down. He would grin and giggle the whole time 😅

    He is simply THE LEGEND!!! Small guy, looks like a typical farmer, but strong like HELL! If you look at Levan, you clearly see that he eats medicines like M&Ms candies, but John....man, he is an awesome armwrestler!!! Bytheway: no trash talk OR "Tod`s amasing under the table style", he is clearly best of existing Armwrestlers at the current moment.
