FunTranscript
00:00So I've come all the way to Ottawa to meet Devon Larratt, who has the strongest arms
00:11in the world.
00:12This is his house, and I think this is also where he trains.
00:15Last time I met him, he was huge.
00:17This time, he's even bigger.
00:19I'm about to reveal a secret, how he got so insanely strong.
00:25Devon Larratt is a living legend in the sport of arm wrestling.
00:29He's wrestled all the strongest arms in the world, and has now dominated the sport for
00:33over a decade.
00:34So what's the secret to his insane strength, and is it even all strength, or is there more
00:38to it?
00:39Well, we're about to find out, because we've been given a rare opportunity to document
00:43exactly how he trains to still get stronger at almost 50 years of age, and how he trains
00:49his sons to one day take over the throne as the world's best arm wrestler.
00:56I hope this is his house.
00:58There he is.
00:59He looks huge.
01:00There we go.
01:01Hey, man.
01:02Good to see you again.
01:03How are you, buddy?
01:04It's been a while.
01:05So happy to have you.
01:07This is your house?
01:08Yeah, yeah.
01:09Welcome to Arm Wrestling Central.
01:10Oh, my God.
01:11Hey, how's it going?
01:12How's it going?
01:13Your whole family is ready.
01:14Do you want a drink?
01:15Something to eat?
01:16No, I'm okay.
01:17Get right to it?
01:18Get right to it, yeah.
01:19Come on in, guys.
01:20Come on in.
01:21You looked a bit smaller in this photo, Devon.
01:28Yeah, yeah.
01:29This was a few years ago, huh?
01:31Yeah, it's been a couple of years while I was still serving.
01:34I kind of let myself go a little bit since I was working.
01:38And you're Myle, right?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Magnus, nice to meet you.
01:41Nice to meet you, man.
01:42You're also into arm wrestling?
01:43I am.
01:44So what is this table?
01:45This is where I do most of my work.
01:47This is an arm wrestling table that's kind of been retrofitted with a cable system attached
01:52to it.
01:53Very simple design.
01:54Because it looks custom-built.
01:55It is.
01:56Yeah, it's also ancient.
01:57This table was initially owned by an arm wrestler called Leanne Dufresne.
02:00Actually, she was the best woman arm wrestler in the world for a while.
02:03This table has been with me for like over 20 years.
02:07So much of my training is done off this table and weights off the floor.
02:10Right, because you have so many different machines here, but to me, they all look kind
02:15of similar.
02:16I have a couple arm wrestling tables that we bring out when we do parties and stuff.
02:22I use these bands, I use this cable, but I use weights off the floor, but this is really
02:27it.
02:28Hey, guys.
02:29Quick question.
02:30Have you ever landed in a new country and realized you have no internet?
02:33Or even worse, have you ever come back from a trip feeling great, only to realize that
02:38your phone bill costs more than your flights?
02:41That's why I use Saily.
02:43Taxi!

03:16Seriously, this is a game changer.
03:18Link is in the description.
03:20Please check it out.
03:24All right, so show me what you would do on this then.
03:26I guess we can start you off with rising.
03:29And the action is raising your knuckle up.
03:33So when you're on the arm wrestling table, and we're arm wrestling each other, like,
03:38that feels like, God, right?
03:41This, right?
03:42It's like your hand feels so strong, gripping up, and the nose is so large.
03:46This is a big part of arm wrestling, right?
03:47This ability to rise up.
03:49And so we train that exact motion.
03:55So rising is kind of always happening.
03:58No matter where the match is, if you can do this movement, what it does is it puts the
04:03pressure in your opponent's fingers, and it lets you be able to open your hand and
04:07re-grip.
04:08Very important strength.
04:09It's very small, but super important.
04:12This is very exact to how the motion feels on the table.
04:17This is what we call rising, posting, back pressure.
04:21They made a movie about it, Over the Top.
04:24This ability, this is what starts off.
04:26When was that made?
04:27Was that before you started?
04:28Yeah.
04:29I think that was back in the 80s.
04:31Is that what got you into it?
04:32I got into it with my grandmother.
04:33Oh, really?
04:34Yeah.
04:35I started arm wrestling with my grandmother.
04:36Yeah.
04:37I was like five or six, and arm wrestling was my reward.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Yeah.
04:43For like doing chores.
04:46This is when you're arm wrestling somebody, and you go to the outside like this, and you
04:51bend the wrist back.
04:53We'll call this one pronation.
04:54Now I can go this way.
04:56I can put my body over here, and kind of roll out.
05:01So arm wrestling is pretty technical then, compared to what-
05:04It's like a miniature martial art.
05:06So like jujitsu is technical.
05:09That's it.
05:10Let it come down.
05:11It's such a strange movement.
05:12This is that pronator muscle that we talked about, right?
05:15Okay.
05:16This is this.
05:17Look at Devin's muscle here.
05:18Yeah, see?
05:19That's for turning.
05:20I don't have any muscle there.
05:21See?
05:22This is not a climber muscle.
05:23Right.
05:24This is specific for arm wrestling.
05:25Do you have that too?
05:26Oh, yeah.
05:27Of course.
05:28That guy right there.
05:29Yeah.
05:30Maybe you were born with it though, since you're his son.
05:32I definitely had a bigger one than most people without training.
05:35So I think it would be interesting also to grip up with you and also Devin, just to see
05:39if I can even move him slightly.
05:42I don't think I have any chance.
05:43We'll get on the table.
05:44It's like a-
05:45I'll probably have a bit of right.
05:46You'll have a bit of left.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Yeah.
05:49But this left is super important.
05:50This is maybe, like, this is maybe one of the most important pieces, okay?
05:55So, like, when you talk about this, just this very simple motion, massive part of arm
06:02wrestling.
06:08So your whole family is into arm wrestling, or you have a daughter too, is she also into
06:11arm wrestling?
06:12She's got the high school championships coming up in like a month.
06:15Oh, nice.
06:16Yeah, yeah.
06:17She arm wrestles.
06:18She's not as crazy as the rest of us, but she's been arm wrestling since she was a baby.
06:21So a lot of times when you arm wrestle, your arm starts to kind of get away from your body.
06:25You start to fall away.
06:26You start to go down like this.
06:28A lot of arm wrestling is making sure your arm stays inside your body, okay?
06:34So this, we're supinating, okay?
06:36And this is for re-gripping and hooking and pressing.
06:40Like that?
06:41Yes.
06:42Perfect.
06:43Good.
06:44Nice.
06:45Yeah, this one-
06:46I feel it in my bicep.
06:47Yeah, this one, you look, you have good mechanics with this.
06:50Yeah, the other way is kind of weirder for you.
06:53This seems to, you move naturally like this.
06:56It almost cramps up the biceps.
06:58Yeah.
06:59Open up your hand if you can.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Good.
07:02What happened to your fifth finger?
07:03What?
07:04Anything ever happen to your fifth finger?
07:05No, no.
07:06It's just like that from rock climbing.
07:07Kind of like you with your arms, right?
07:09Uh-huh, uh-huh.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Can you stretch it out?
07:12No, no, I can't at all.
07:13No.
07:14But I see-
07:15It's the same with my pinky too.
07:16Your fifth finger is a bit-
07:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:18It's a bit-
07:19When I walk around, I walk around with my finger like this.
07:20Yeah, it's got a weird bend to it.
07:21Yeah, it does.
07:22I don't see that.
07:23I can straighten that out if I want, but it's like-
07:25It's like tighter.
07:26It's tighter, yeah.
07:27Yeah.
07:28I can't even do that with my pinky.
07:29It like goes across your hand like, you got monkey hands, man.
07:31That's awesome.
07:32And when did you get into arm wrestling?
07:39I was young.
07:40I was like five or six, right?
07:42Oh, wow.
07:43Yeah, so kid.
07:44But I did it for fun.
07:45Yeah.
07:46Like with kids in school, I was just always totally cool to do it.
07:49Like if anybody was arm wrestling, I was there.
07:51I met a professional arm wrestler when I was 18.
07:54Oh, wow.
07:55Yeah.
07:56And then I was all in.
07:57But then, this is something that you don't talk a lot about, but you've been in the Special
08:02Forces for Canada too, right?
08:04You were in Afghanistan?
08:06Many times, yeah.
08:07And you've been shot?
08:08A couple times, yeah.
08:09That is crazy.
08:11And also, I heard a story where the helicopter you were in got shot down.
08:16Yes.
08:17But it's something you don't talk a lot about.
08:19Why is that?
08:20People would brag about that.
08:21Is it secret at all?
08:23Not anymore, right?
08:24I would say it's probably past its important time to be secret.
08:30A lot of people are sensitive about sharing that kind of stuff.
08:35I do talk about it, but if somebody wants to hear about it, I'll talk about it.
08:45It's a really ... War is a messy thing.
08:49It's a messy, messy thing.
08:52Not to really be glorified too much.
08:55Right.
08:56That makes sense.
09:03So, when we were little, my dad offered us $100 if we could lift this bar with one hand.
09:10It's not easy.
09:11Even this, this is not an easy thing for somebody to do.
09:15Milo makes it look easy, but even that ...
09:18You lift it like that?
09:19Either or.
09:20I did under with the one hand.
09:21You can do it any way you want.
09:22You can do it.
09:23I thought you were going to lift it with a thumb.
09:24No.
09:25You can.
09:26Normally, you just do cups.
09:27We usually do it like this, but the way we do it for our message is something on the
09:30side.
09:31So, you cup it in and do it like that.
09:32Wow.
09:33And you got to find the balance point.
09:34Otherwise, it gets a little weird.
09:35Yeah.
09:36Oh, yeah.
09:37Easy.
09:38No problem.
09:39No problem at all.
09:40How old were you when you got your first $100?
09:41I think I was 12.
09:43You weren't 12.
09:44No.
09:45I think I was 12.
09:46Not a chance.
09:47Yeah.
09:48So, my first party, being a kid, picking that up and being really happy.
09:51How many years between you guys?
09:52Two.
09:53He's two years old.
09:54Two and a half-ish.
09:55Yeah.
09:56But that bar right there, that lift, most arm wrestlers that are just kind of doing
10:00it for fun can't lift that.
10:01Really?
10:02Yeah.
10:03Most people can't.
10:04Huh.
10:05You have a very specialized type of strength.
10:06It's not yet.
10:07You got to back up a bit more.
10:08Yeah.
10:09Got to back up a bit more.
10:10It's almost like a sloper, right?
10:11Yeah.
10:12Yeah.
10:13Show the thumb exercises we do.
10:14Yeah.
10:15This one's my favorite.
10:17So, you do one more wrap.
10:18Then you wrap around the thumb.
10:19Right.
10:20And then you kind of just sit into it, get the tension, and close your thumb like this.
10:24It's going to blow that muscle up like crazy.
10:26Yeah.
10:27You should do a couple sets.
10:28It'll look bigger than you've ever seen it before.
10:30And then what do you do?
10:31Like that?
10:32Close your hand?
10:33Open and close.
10:34That's it.
10:35Yeah.
10:36Action the thumb.
10:37Action the thumb.
10:38Over and over and over.
10:39Yeah.
10:40That's it.
10:41Yeah, that's it.
10:42Work that.
10:43That's it.
10:44Wonderful.
10:45And then the further down you go, the harder it is.
10:4612 days?
10:4712 days.
10:4812 days out.
10:49Artem Taranenko.
10:50Yeah.
10:51I'm feeling good.
10:52I'm feeling ready.
10:53Yeah.
10:54That's why I'm not doing much today, because I'm resting.
10:55Did you guys do any other sports?
10:56Or was arm wrestling always what you're going to do?
10:59Combat in general.
11:00I did judo when I was younger, and jiu-jitsu, and played basketball.
11:02Really, I was overactive.
11:03And so was Milo.
11:04We played most sports.
11:05How about hockey?
11:06I mean, you're from Canada.
11:07Yeah.
11:08No hockey.
11:09No hockey.
11:10So, we're kind of an abnormality in that way.
11:11Okay.
11:12Yeah.
11:13Most families play hockey, but not arm wrestling.
11:14We're the one Canadian family that doesn't skate.
11:16Yeah.
11:20And you are currently, like, top three in the world, right?
11:23And who else?
11:24Who's like your biggest competition right now?
11:26Levon Saganishvili.
11:27He's the best.
11:28Right.
11:29You know, there's a lot of guys at the top.
11:31Ermes Gasparini from Italy, Vitaly Letin from Russia.
11:35Super heavyweight arm wrestling, it goes deep.
11:37Like, there's a lot of guys from all over the world that are chasing it.
11:42What do you guys think of the Eddie Hall versus Brian Shaw match?
11:45Because I was super surprised that it was so even.
11:48Yeah.
11:49It was close.
11:50So weak.
11:51Yeah.
11:52We thought Brian was going to just destroy him.
11:53Right.
11:54Right.
11:55That's what I thought, too.
11:56And, you know, he really kind of did.
11:57You know, like, Brian did a great job.
11:59Eddie was good.
12:00He fought well.
12:01And he was loud.
12:02Yeah.
12:03I liked that.
12:04That was cool.
12:05Very combative.
12:06How would these guys do against Eddie or Brian, do you think?
12:08Maybe we'll find out someday.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Maybe we'll find out.
12:11But, like, today, do you think that they would have any chance?
12:12Or is the strength just...
12:13Yeah?
12:14That's our guy.
12:15Maybe.
12:16That's our guy.
12:17Maybe.
12:18Maybe.
12:19Hard to say.
12:20Okay.
12:21Right.
12:22That's likely going to happen.
12:23Because you're way more technical, right?
12:24I would say very likely.
12:25And Devin is.
12:26Because I talk to some arm wrestlers, and they say that you're the smartest arm wrestler
12:29out there.
12:30Maybe not the strongest, physically, but the smartest.
12:31The bar is really low for arm wrestlers, so...
12:32Brian Shaw's going to win.
12:33Really?
12:34Yeah.
12:35I got to answer Brian Shaw, right?
12:36Yeah.
12:37Yeah.
12:38Yeah.
12:39Yeah.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Brian Shaw, right?
12:43Brian Shaw, yeah.
12:44I was going to just hang out.
12:45Brian.
12:46Devin, what's up, man?
12:47Hey, buddy.
12:48I'm here with Magnus Mitvoe.
12:49Hey, what's going on?
12:50Yeah.
12:51Yeah, we were talking about you earlier.
12:52We were doing pinch grip.
12:53I bet he kicked your ass.
12:54He did.
12:55Pretty cool.
12:56He did kick my ass.
12:57Yeah.
12:58Yeah.
12:59He's pretty good.
13:00Where are you guys at?
13:01We're just at my place.
13:02We're just...
13:03We're just...
13:04We're just...
13:05We're just...
13:06We're just...
13:07We're just...
13:08We're just...
13:09We're just...
13:10We're just...
13:11Out here.
13:12Out here.
13:13All right?
13:14Out here?
13:15All right?
13:16All right.
13:17We're just...
13:18I'm running them through a little arm wrestling workout.
13:19Actually, we were just talking about your match.
13:20Awesome, man.
13:21Yeah.
13:22Awesome.
13:23Awesome.
13:24Anytime.
13:25Anyways, do you want me to call you back in a bit?
13:26You want me to call you in like an hour or two?
13:27Yeah, brother.
13:28I'm actually just driving on the road.
13:30So that'll...
13:31I'm for you whenever.
13:32So, just hit me up.
13:33Okay.
13:34Okay.
13:35Thank you so much, Brian.
13:36I'll call you in a bit.
13:37Love it, brother.
13:38Have fun.
13:39Okay.
13:40Okay.
13:41Be great, brother. I love it. I love it.
13:44Later, buddy. Hey, look up.
13:47Oh, is that him?
13:48Oh, yeah. Be great.
13:49Be great, right.
13:50Gigantic.
13:52So you guys are good friends, I guess.
13:54I love Brian. People think of Brian Shaw and they're like, what a monster.
13:59And he is.
14:00He is a monster.
14:01He is a monster.
14:02I mean, you're tall. How tall are you?
14:03I'm like 6'5".
14:05Only 6'5"?
14:06Yeah, I think he's like 6'8".
14:11So is this dangerous at all?
14:13I mean, you always see people online breaking their arms and stuff.
14:17Have you broken any arms?
14:20People who don't drink enough milk are generally brittle and fragile.
14:25I've run into a bunch of non-milk drinkers.
14:28Vegans.
14:29In our sport, our injuries are, you know, broken arm is really famous.
14:33And what is it that you break? It's this bone right here, right?
14:36Yeah, spiral fractures.
14:38And you only have one bone in here, so then your arm is basically not attached to anything anymore.
14:42It's useless.
14:43You also get muscle tears, bicep, pec.
14:47These are the main ones. People blow their pec, people blow their bicep.
14:50And you've had some injuries.
14:52I have.
14:53Your bicep tore.
14:54Yeah, Lavon tore my bicep there.
14:57What does it say?
14:59It says Lavon was here in Georgian and there's a little kitty cat that says 415 on it for Lavon.
15:07Well, you guys are good friends though, right? Even though you're also competitors.
15:10He's the best. He's a big inspiration to all of us.
15:12But do you have to fake beef before a match or does it not matter?
15:16We can get there.
15:18Okay.
15:19Look, if Lavon and I have a match, we're going to fight.
15:21Right.
15:22We're going to fight.
15:23Are you going to trash talk him too?
15:24Yeah.
15:25What is the line though?
15:26It's hard to trash talk Lavon.
15:28It's hard.
15:29But if I think that there's a way...
15:32What is your go-to? What do you call him?
15:35Well, I have called him a pussy a lot.
15:37But that's why I've got that. I used to call him a 415-pound pussy.
15:45Nice. You're very, very strong. You're very, very strong.
15:47Really try to focus on keeping this arm up instead of...
15:51To me, that's counterintuitive.
15:53I know it feels counterintuitive, but when you're going down, you don't want to have this on the table
15:57because you want to be able to use the momentum of you going down to be able to continue this movement.
16:02Nice. I'm going to give you a bit more resistance now.
16:04That was already a lot.
16:07Oh, Jesus.
16:10So we might be similar strength.
16:12No, I don't think so.
16:14No, I'd say we are. I'd say we are.
16:16But I'm just manipulating you with little tiny micro-movements to be able to favor me.
16:22I didn't even think of that, but my position is better now, isn't it?
16:26You got it good enough.
16:27Yeah.
16:28Milo is real strong.
16:29Yeah, so he's giving me a good position.
16:31And still, I'm not able to move you at all.
16:34But what I'm doing is I'm opening you. I'm pronating you.
16:37Right.
16:38So I'm kind of putting it more on your bicep, and you're not really able to pull me back at that point.
16:43Okay. So I'm gripping, and then you want to be as high like this as possible, right?
16:48And to prevent you doing that, do I squeeze, or how do I prevent you?
16:51You just do the same thing back to me.
16:52Same thing, okay.
16:53You have to outrise and outpost me.
16:55Did you guys get that?
16:57Did you guys get that?
16:58So when you grip up, you want to be as high as possible, right?
17:02Correct.
17:03So we both try to be...
17:06Let me jump in.
17:08Yeah.
17:09Milo is very good, okay?
17:10But I'm going to show you a little bit about what happens before.
17:13Because so much of what happens happens before they say go, okay?
17:17Okay.
17:18So much happens with the grip you accept.
17:21You see this angle, this high-low?
17:23You want to be high up.
17:25You want to open your thumb as wide as possible.
17:27And you see what happens is the mistake that people will make is they will grip you.
17:32Okay.
17:33So I wait for you to grip.
17:34You wait.
17:35Yeah.
17:36And as you do, you take up the tension.
17:38So as I start to lower, you kind of do a little bit of a hammer curl.
17:42And you take up all this tension into my hand, right?
17:46So if you can make your arm be pulling into my fingers, this is to your advantage.
17:51Okay.
17:52You see this line right here?
17:54Any way that this line can be moved up, whether it's through the thumb, whether it's through the bottom of the hand,
18:00the more that you are up in my fingers, the better you will be.
18:04And once you have that, you hammer curl back and you cup your wrist and you lean to the side.
18:11Okay.
18:12Yeah.
18:13With your whole body as well.
18:14Nice.
18:15Nice.
18:16Yes.
18:18Good.
18:19And you see how you're kind of using your arm?
18:21Yeah.
18:22I shouldn't do that.
18:23Okay.
18:24So you were kind of like this.
18:25Yeah.
18:26Okay.
18:27But what you can do that's even easier is this.
18:30Right.
18:31So use your body.
18:32Your weight.
18:33Yes.
18:34Everything.
18:35I don't have as much weight to use though.
18:36Yeah.
18:37Good.
18:38Good.
18:39And then.
18:40Yes.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Much better.
18:43Much better.
18:44Good.
18:45Now, see, your arm is doing good things.
18:46You're pulling up really good.
18:47But as soon as you pull up like this, bend your wrist hard.
18:53Yes.
18:54That's way better.
18:58So this is the strap, right?
18:59Yes, it is.
19:00And when does this come into play?
19:01So often when we're arm wrestling, a lot of, like we talked about how the high spot's important.
19:06Both guys normally understand this.
19:07So when both guys go for the high spot, often it slips.
19:10Right.
19:11So most professional arm wrestling is done in the strap.
19:13Okay.
19:14So I'll quickly put this on.
19:15How many times do you slip before the strap comes in?
19:17Just one.
19:18One.
19:19One slip and then you're in the strap.
19:20And do you prefer strap?
19:21We train for strap because it's inevitable in pro competition.
19:24Either one guy or the other one wants it.
19:26Yeah.
19:27So what do I do?
19:28What is the technique now then?
19:29No different.
19:30Exact same thing.
19:31Make sure the elbow's up.
19:32Up.
19:33The only difference is now we're attached, so you don't need to hold on at all.
19:36Okay.
19:37Just open your hand while you're going for the rise.
19:38Okay.
19:39You can take that, you can re-grip while you hit.
19:40Okay.
19:41So it's like that.
19:42Nice.
19:43Real good.
19:44Yeah.
19:45Very, very good.
19:47Instead of going for the pin, just get the match close to you.
19:51Okay.
19:52Bring the match to your center.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Yes.
19:55Yeah, way better.
19:56Way better.
19:57Hitting a person in one move is actually very rare.
20:00What's more likely is to bring the match inside, bring the match inside, and then eventually
20:06it appears.
20:07I can demonstrate now if you want.
20:08It'll be something like this.
20:09So I can go and then see, okay, I've kind of got control now.
20:12Yeah.
20:13Now I can pin.
20:14Yeah.
20:16I'll get control and finish.
20:17Okay.
20:18Right.
20:19Yeah.
20:20Nice.
20:21Yeah.
20:22Great top roll.
20:23Try to bend your wrist more.
20:24Okay.
20:25I feel like your top roll is great, but bend that wrist because if you can, it's just another
20:26piece you can take away from me.
20:27Okay.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Nice.
20:30Very good.
20:31So when are you doing your first tournament?
20:32Is this usually how you spend your Friday nights?
20:38Normally.
20:39Whatever.
20:40Devon has a belt.
20:41What is that belt?
20:42That is the east versus west.
20:44Is that the heavyweight?
20:45I don't know which one that is.
20:46Heavyweight or 115 or 105.
20:47It's one of the world titles.
20:48Yeah.
20:49Okay.
20:50No big deal.
20:51Yeah.
20:52Nice.
20:53We arm wrestle because we love it.
20:54Right.
20:55We're not doing it for a belt.
20:56Right.
20:57The belt is the goal, but even if there's no belt, I mean, I'm still going to arm wrestle.
20:58How old are you now?
20:59I'll be 50 soon.
21:0050 soon.
21:01I'll be 50 in April.
21:02So 49.
21:03And you're still getting stronger?
21:04I think so.
21:05Yeah.
21:06Yeah.
21:07It's wild.
21:08Arm wrestling seems to be one of those sports.
21:10where you can get stronger even a little bit older.
21:11It takes so long to build up your hand.
21:12Yeah.
21:13It's that old man strength, right?
21:14That it's like you're just going to keep getting stronger and stronger.
21:15I hope so.
21:16I mean, I don't want to stop.
21:17I'd love to keep on competing at a high level.
21:18Yeah.
21:19Do you do anything differently now from when you started?
21:20Oh, so many things.
21:21Yeah.
21:22Yeah.
21:23So many things.
21:24Yeah.
21:25And that's things that these guys do.
21:26Yeah.
21:27Yeah.
21:28Yeah.
21:29Yeah.
21:30Yeah.
21:31Yeah.
21:32Yeah.
21:33Yeah.
21:34Yeah.
21:35Yeah.
21:36Yeah.
21:37Yeah.
21:38Yeah.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:41I think that's things that these guys are just going to do from the start.
21:42So 30 years of learning, I try and put into these guys so that they don't have to make
21:48all the mistakes that I did.
21:49Yeah.
21:50Hopefully, by the time we're his age, our arms will actually still be able to straighten.
21:56So with this information, how many percent stronger do you think I am now on wrestling?
22:03How much does this help?
22:04Because I mean, strength is important.
22:05We would have to practice.
22:06You would have to practice.
22:07Yeah, this is not gonna instantly turn you into Superman. No, no, but like is it like 5%?
22:13Well, it'll help you for sure. I mean if you can hit your angles, it's gonna help you but
22:18Geez that hand it's just like steel. I don't know. It's a 5 5 11 or 5 12 maybe or what?
22:28Okay
22:31That is
22:33That's the ultimate boss right there
22:36But okay, so
22:39Oh my god, come on Magnus
