Fist of Fury Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I don't think this "disease" really affect the strength all that much. There's a german armwrestler who has the same(?) thing but only on one of his arms. It doesn't automatically make him the best armwrestler in the world. Luckily, becasue it would totally ruin all sports if they really had a huge advantage with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Sometimes size does matter, in this case the limits for his strength will be well beyond mine due to the amount of additional muscle mass he has, also most likely his tendons will be as thick as fbbc bastards. At least that's my opinion lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I doubt his hand would fit between the globes. Maybe he will have to just try a two finger lift on it. Man I'm making him sound like he's on the same level as chuck norris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exarmy Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 to be honest,this guy is in his 50's, someone at some point will have given him a gripper, and the fact that we've not heard about means he wasn't very good at it? if he was good at it he'd be on the IM list now. I'm sure I read somewhere that big hands can be a problem with grippers? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm sure I read somewhere that big hands can be a problem with grippers? Haha, depends on who you ask. Big hands, small hands, left hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's my opinion lol. Negative bro. The video never states this info and if it was true i would think it have been stated. I really think it's just water or fat. There is no extra muscle or thicker tendons. I would think his arm would look like steel cables going through them if this was the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshW Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Maybe you are right about that one fella. Would love to know how thick Andre the giants tendons were though compared to mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubgeezer Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There are also plenty of armwrestlers out there who have WAAY strong grips who arent on many, if any, list in regards to grip feats. One for sure example would be Nick Zinna. He easily closed a CoC 3.5 (with a credit card set!) after a grip comp that he competed in, while he was sitting on a couch, chillin. A guy named Josh Dale actually has video of it somewhere. Josh is a GB member Josh is an excellent skeptic, and he has been involved in arm wrestling for some time. I imagine there are a number of guys on the board who are friends of his. To me, Josh's input would be something that is probably worth more than all the research you could find "on the Internet".

Squeezus Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 I messaged him on FB an he says he has never worked with grippers. I am probably going to send him a gripper to try. Should I send him a 1, 2, or 3? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Roussin Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Jeff is a really nice guy. He first competed in armwrestling in the early 80s in Minnesota, but then got out of the sport until his return about three years ago. He competes exclusively with his left arm. I had a nice conversation with him recently about his early days in the sport. He competed in the same tournaments as Ravishing Rick Rude (Richard Rood back then) and Scott Norton around 1981 and 1982, before they got into professional wrestling. He managed to beat both of them. Jeff is currently a top 15 North American super-heavyweight lefty, but is quite a ways away from the very top guys (e.g., Travis Bagent). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Is he still in MN? Gilbert, I think a #2.5 if you're only sending one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Matney Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Bagent has probably the strongest left arm ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I send him a 1, 2, or 3?I think a 2.5 would be the most interesting. I personally feel like anyone with a background in lifting can close a #2 right off with not much trouble. A 2.5 is in the perfect range for being both impressive and feasible IMO. Not that a #3 would somehow be less impressive, just less likely.
