    Larry extremely confident in his grip strength after his intense arm wrestling training. BTW grip strength is one of the most important and undertrained strengths and is one of the few reliable predictors of things such as motor function later in life, preservation of the brain, and even lifespan.
    I know that sounds far-fetched, but there's ample literature on it. Larry loves achieving god-tier grip strength man.

    • @theuncomfortabletruth336
      @theuncomfortabletruth336 Před rokem +9

      Also you can really tell a man's primal power by the thickness of his wrists. A man with thick wrists is extremely strong. Unfortunately, wrist size is nearly impossible to increase and arm wrestling is perhaps the only exercise I've found to actually increase wrist size and density.

    • @justagamer1870
      @justagamer1870 Před rokem

      ​@theuncomfortabletruth336 do you mean forearm? Or like your wrist in general?

    • @theuncomfortabletruth336
      @theuncomfortabletruth336 Před rokem +8

      @@justagamer1870 No I mean the actual wrist bone/tendons/connective tissue. Since there is almost no muscle in the actual wrist area itself, basically the only way to create more density in that area is to put the bone/tendons/connective tissue under consistent and immense pressure over a long period of time. In doing so, eventually (although slowly), the wrist itself can thicken. That's why farmers and armwrestlers have thick wrists. Consistent, high-pressure stress on the wrists over long periods of time.
      Forearms are much easier to grow since it's just muscle. Same as anywhere else.

    I always tried to tell weightlifters or martial artists who have issues with the grip to rock climb. There's nothing on the earth that gets your hands as strong as fast as rock climbing. And the best part is it doesn't even feel like you're training it's just fun.

Larry did amazing on grip strength. All those years of deadlifting world records weights with no straps made him also an elite in grip strength.

I too have been getting in to not just cross fit training but training across a broad spectrum of sports and it’s crazy how much the definition of strength changes from sport to sport. Out of all the new things you’ve tried beyond Power Lifting, what would you say is the most surprising to you as an athlete where in terms of strength you thought you would be stronger; i.e. when you first started getting into arm wrestling and found out it was a completely different type of strength vs power lifting?
