David vs. Goliath?

This matchup happened fairly recently up in Connecticut. On one side we have Michael Selearis and on the other we have the insanely huge Jerry Cadorette. It doesn't really come accross in the video, but Jerry is a super nice guy. Also, I think I am older than Jerry, which makes me cry a little bit inside.

Here is a quote from Jerry about the match.

"Boy was I really sleeping on that first match! Great job Mike! It was also great to meet you too Jared, I am looking forward to the meets coming up!"

A big thanks has to go out to Jared Vale who filmed the matches and put them up on youtube.

Tournament video

Here is the footage of all of John Byerley matches from the Europa tournament in Texas. He is a fellow amateur, but got a chance to wrestle John Brzenk at the end of the tourney.

Finger pressure training

Here is a sweet video on how to train finger pressure. The guy had a pretty cool custom handle built and uses some kind of stretchy cables. Here is a link to the video.

Is Travis Bagent super human?

This had been floating around for a month or so, but just in case you haven't seen it I am posting it here as well. It is a part of a documentary on people that are "Super Human". It has some cool shots of Travis training as well as some of his matches.

Denis Cyplenkov

I have decided to try an compile every piece of decent video about this new guy, Denis Cyplenkov. I find him interesting because he is one of if not the most imposing armwrestler I have ever seen!

Some new footage of Denis has surfaced and by new I mean really old. Here he is looking not nearly as huge being beaten by a guy at least 50 pounds lighter.


He doesn't pull any superstars in this tourney but he does go up against some very solid guys.


Here is Denis practicing with Alexy Voevoda. Alexy hasn't wrestled in a while but he is still one of the top guys in the world. (They disabled embedding for some reason so here is the LINK)

Here he is training with Alexy Voevoda again. This time lefty.(They disabled embedding again so here is the LINK.

The first video I found is of him right after he decided to try armwrestling.



This is him pulling what I believe to be the current #2 guy (left handed) in the world.



Here he is destrorying Alexey Semerenko. You may remember Semerenko as the guy who passed out after a match with John Brzenk.


As near as I can tell, this is all the footage available on youtube. If you can find some better stuff please let me know. You can contact me at craig.stevenson@gmail.com or just leave a comment.

The grippler created a sweet highlight fil of Marcio Barboza. Check it out here.

I have also embedded the video here

Hello everyone. This is the first in a series of supermatches held once a week between myself and a friend. I am still definately an amateur so drop me some comments on my technique in the comments.

Here is a link directly to the video.

Is Alex Jigalko the best 209 lefty in the south east?

There has been a lot of talk on the northeast board about whether Alex is the best 209 lefty in the south east. He won the 209 lefty class at the "Quest With Arms" tourney. Here is all of his matches in order.

Quest With Arms: Marciao Barboza

Hey guys, I decided to take each winner of the Quest With Arms tournament and compile all there matches in one place. The first one up is Marciao Barboza.

There were only 2 people in the left handed class. Since it was double elimination they had to pull twice. On a side note, holy crap do Marciao's arms look huge. In person they about as big around as my head.

match 1



match 2




There were only 2 people in the right handed class as well. They pull twice in the video.

Match 1 & 2

Interview with Devon Larratt

Here is an interview by armsportvideos with Devon Larratt. This interview took place directly before his supermatch with Travis Bagent at Arm Wars. He shares his thoughts on how he thinks the supermatch will go. If you have an ArmTV subscription you can watch the entire supermatch. I think its interesting to watch the interview and compare it with how he performed.
