Good takes. Def feel the same about your chances with Irakly. Yes, he’s an imposing figure but let’s not forget his hand was cracked back by Brzenk without the shoulder stability. I think someone with your hand strength cannot be ruled out.
Exactly. Would be an interesting match. It’s cliche but styles do make fights, and AW is no different. A lot of these guy, esp at the top, can all beat each other on any given day. It all comes down to their lanes and who can get there.
Can't wait to hear the pig storie and other vacation mishaps RVJ, glad you had a good time on the cruise I might have to get on one of those soon...I'm glad you are motivated for a crack at the top, a motivated RVJ can be a scary thing
RVJ vs Irakli could be pretty sick.. I'd love to see the revenge on Sasho, but the match with Leo is exciting as well. It'd be cool to see you back at EvW, or on the table in a grinder regardless of promotion. Keep it rollin 🤙🏻
I think Travis says his way is what worked best for him like i believe you said but i think if you listen to Travis he explains a guy say hooking or pressing or even shows it on the table during practices like back in the day at johns but he just always chooses his way which he definitely says but i do agree with what you with some of these guys
I was on carnival liberty. We went to the Bahamas and Princess keys island. I was keeping an eye out for you just in case lol. My first cruise to. The freaking food though man holy crap they don’t stop feeding you. My four little kids and I, we had fun. Definitely doing it again. Glad you had fun.
Yeah dude the food was very good. Can’t wait to go on the next one. I was playing basketball games in the middle of the Atlantic ocean on a cruise ship. That was sick.
Hey Rob i predicted 11 of the supermatches right on EvW12.... I got Mindaugus vs Arthur, Georgi vs Kurdecha and Sasho vs Irakli wrong. You're an extremely gifted puller who can achieve what he wants, it's just a matter of long term focus and discipline. Talent working hard will let you overcome most of the PED freaks like Irakli.... Plan a trajectory of opponents and be on your way to #1 at 105kg. Travis embellishes his training methods but they would only work for him, his leverages and pulling style. I think Leonidas is supposed to pull Kyrill Sarychev next.
That's why I think Brian Shaw would do really good really fast. He lifted and carried those awkward weights and objects around, world record grip records he has, and those ligaments gotta be like steel. Then add 6'8 and 400+ lbs.. he should get good quick if he can learn technique and able to apply it on the table
Rob, I think you're right but a bit off with Engin. I agree with your assessment that styles don't explain themselves alone, but through how their pullers use those styles; however, I disagree that Engin is ignorant on it. He is like you, cognizant of the nuances of the sport. I hope you two do more together actually. And you and Leonidas would be nice!
There needs to be more weight classes and testing then arm wrestling will go big! Levan outweighs Devon by my body weight, somebody equal to his weight and experience can beat him IMO. Looking forward to seeing you pull whoever it is 💪💪
There's that Gilligan coming back from the cruise lol. Well guess you'd be the Skipper cause Gilligan is to small lol. I think youd beat Leonadis. You and Irakli woooo that'd be a tough but I wouldn't count ya out.
I don't understand the "whole contract issue" so if Rob got a match with one if these guys from east vs west, does that mean he'd be contracted to only pull there and would not be able to pull at some of the other promotions? I ask because I heard lachlan can't pull in Australia because he's contracted to the coresports division
Yes, it’s a lane… sometimes going enough to negate someone’s power really does a lot in terms of flipping a match. I saw rino run over matyushenko with his lane being allowed and a good start… then a little different initiation and it goes opposite way. I assume he’s strong… and those guys level up dramatically… but I account for that. Zoloev also crushed Sasho… then Todd… but got destroyed by John, who lost to both Sasho and Todd 🤷🏼♂️
Negating is hand is cool…problem is he has some of the strongest biceps in the world as well. Beating him in a hook is no picnic. He’s shown a lot of versatility including the ability to press as well.
Yes, but top armwrestlers train armwrestling like almost every day. That is like saying it hit the gym for 4 years and the first year, you were there 10 times in a year.
I think irakli got way better since the match against john. John still has a crazy good hand and pronation, but i dont see him taking control over irakli roght now
bowen and leonidas seem like good fun matches, but not top 10. So, makes sense if you're feeling good and opportunities to move up usurp their position for a bit. Although if ryan does it at your vacation place with games and you're already going there anyway, that wouldn't get in the way of a top match. you may end up beating irakli, then get the match with sasho after; depending on how they do next. I did wonder if sasho is back to 100%, wasnt it like a year or so ago he broke his arm? The travis example is similar to people telling you not to use your hand/grip and to pull back and slip when you were 1st coming into aw. Opposite of using your attributes to the max cruise stories sound ❤🔥
its hard for travis to train jerry because people who feel very strong in a single lane for 30 years tend to just ignore any advice because it takes some dedication to train the coordination to pull like travis, abandoming the press for 6 months in training is out of the option for jerry. Travis doesnt need jerry style because its just inferior
CZcams algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... even though Schoolbus weighs much more, i still see RVJ winning that match, and to me, Leo match makes sense too, but maybe that's better for some other event, like ArmGods, Knuckles Up etc, save the Irakli type of match for Coresports. Devon has higher table IQ, and still lost. just the way it is. u can know exactly what u need to do, but can u get it. how many times the "dumb" lane of Toddzilla destroys the "smarter " puller. seems best to have an AW school who have various types of pullers, one for hooks, one for pressing, etc. so u can allign what works best for u. or needing to defend against an expert of the style.
I may be wrong about this, haven’t watched the vid. But let me take a guess: RVJ complaining about something and making it seem like nobody but top 10 is on his level?
And let’s be real… it takes a special kind of person to post without any insight of what you are posting about… you realize how silly that makes you look ???…
@@RobVigeantRVJNo. It’s the internet, I’m anonymous. All it portrays is that I lack the wherewithal to watch you complain anymore. And with that, I decided to poke fun at you, rather mildly I may add, which still seemed to anger you and prove my point. I got it out of my system and won’t do it again. 🤷♂️
Not angry.., it’s just a stupid point with no backing.., don’t have to be angry to point the obvious. And you say I complain…about ??… steroids ??… it’s not complaining to outline how much they change and hinder the sport… regardless of your feelings. Do some self reflecting
@@RobVigeantRVJDid I ever mention serious use complaints? Seems someone is complaining (once again) about my meaningless comment with no backing of their own. But since you asked, steroid use is a VERY common thing you complain about. Since you do it so much, let’s say you are just an advocate and trying to spread the word, cuz otherwise, we f###ing get it. But in just about every other video, you complain about something or other. Whether it be people cheating you in a setup (Ryan Bowen), or strength athletes thinking they can beat you at arm wrestling (Brandon Allen), or that you just simply don’t like someone for some damn reason (Ermes Gasparini). You are a hot head that complains non-stop. It’s straight up one of your schticks and personality traits at this point. Some people love that stuff, some people don’t. Engin Terzi suffers from the same problem, bless his soul. I’d feel that it would be torturous for me to act as yall do to adversity in mind and body. But that’s just it, isn’t it? At the end of the day, you love this stuff. You love arguing and throwing your opinion at anyone who looks at you weird.
I mean, cruises are kind of perfect for families with kids...the boat kind of keeps a boundary of where they could even go, so you actually stress a bit less.
Ultimate Natty vs the PED giant, make it happen (nothing against Leonidas, he's a beast regardless of how obtained), just something to be said when a natural can potentially devour an obvious unnatural, cheers.
Coach Ray suggested you as Leonidas next opponent. It was funny if you knew what type of shenanigans Devon created when Leonidas was in Canada.😂 It would be great match. But aren't you like ~100 ish kilo? I mean, Leonidas like ~125 after cut.
I honestly think the irakli match would be close if you were trained up. I think he’d shit when he tried hitting into your hand. John top rolled him so I don’t see why you couldn’t at least give him serious issues
When these powerlifters do table practice and apply their training science to armwrestling specific lifts they can become elite because their base is already super strong. This kid James English might be stupid strong too. Probably gonna destroy Auden. I wouldn't be shocked
What fucking cruise excursion did you buy for swimming with pigs? LOL Dolphins yeah but pigs? 😂 We love cruises. Been on many. It is our favorite type of vacationing.
It’s a thing in the Bahamas…I guess it’s pretty famous. Wild native pigs that swim around in the Bahamas…look it up… really cool. Plus my daughter’s favorite animal is pigs. So we tried… but it wasn’t what you see… lol
We went to a beach with pigs, but not what you see online… we got scammed a bit. But my kids thought it was super cool still, beach was amazing. This wasn’t through cruise line… on shore local excursion
Hell no. Prime John would fold all of their wrists like it was paper. Even current John was able to defeat Petrenko, take a round off Ongarbaev, and would have beaten Irakli if he got just a little more fired up. Prime John would have given the best SHW’s of today a run for their money. Except for Levan lol.
I think Leo would be good but Irakli I think would be a little much and that’s no disrespect on you I just think he is going to another level with his power, because he showed little effort to beat sosho. And I don’t understand the Bowen match just pull it and get it over with because it’s starting to seem like your running from him and I honestly don’t understand because truthfully I think you would be a huge favorite. I say just pull him to stop all the back and forth shit it’s honestly becoming kind of ridiculous.
If experience was a big factor senior guys would always beat their juniors… It doesn’t take too long to learn how to move and what’s going on…if you are athletic
@@RobVigeantRVJ I think there are many factors and not just one. I don't think you should reduce being an arm wrestler to mostly strength, there is much more. Yes junior guys defeat senior guys but many times the junior has been doing it for 10 plus years so experience is no longer an issue. However, in the case of Leonidas, I think experience is still an issue
I’ve not been impressed with SchoolBoy at all. I think RVJ would crush him. The Leonidas match would be interesting from a natty, non natty perspective. But I think Leonidas might have a little too much “nutrition”.
@@RobVigeantRVJ just was curious if you were surprised the fact levan is the only guy to ever be stopped in middle round 1 and still beat Devon or do you feel like ppl are saying levan planned that to the haters cause everyone said if he’s stopped anywhere he will lose ?
Man, Irakli is fucking weird. His arm power is damn near as high as Levan's on several lifts and his hand is steel. I respect you a lot, but I don't think you can touch that while staying natty.
For the first time in long time I disagree with you. Irakli would run you over Rob. No doubt in my mind. Not like you couldnt give him any problem at all, but he would win, clean sweep, positive.
Your opinion. I do know the elite level. I’ve got a split record with Todd who beat both Irakli and ongarbayev… and he was around 230 while I was 195… and battling injuries. There are many examples to be made… easy to look at guys tailor made for him and his performance is exaggerated… He’s very good, but I know the level and have many wins against guys on that level through years. If I stay training… you’ll be surprised. I remember the most lopsided vote ever way mask vs Jerry and mask vs hutchings… 90+% were positive Matt was gonna flash both guys… And honestly the majority wasn’t only wrong… they were WAAAAAY OFFF of reality.
@@RobVigeantRVJ Brother, I dont underestimate you. I respect hugelly your allready done achievements, which are quite imprerssive, and I allways tought you had perhaps the most potential of allo in your category, or at least that you are among top guys. Insane genetics and strong both arm and hand. And also, I do see your seriousness, which Im happy about. But Irakli, man, look, as you said, my opinion. You did progress, but he did also. And probably more. Irakli is right now, in my eyes among top guys when speaking about progress. You do belong with elite, I just think he woud sweep you clean right now. That doesent mean you cant catch up, or that my opinion is something written in stone. In half a year I could see it differently. Let alone year or more. But now,, if you had match lets say in next 3 months, nope. Clean sweep as I said. And Id be super happy if I would be wrong. Its not that I like Irakli man lol, not at all. good luck on stucking with it man. You could gain so much more in my eyes. Which is effin scary to think about how good would you be. God bless
@@igorsvacic217 I can see your thoughts… and for a match like that I’d want more time and booked for matches until fall so I’m guessing it’d be at least 6 months or more… I’ll continue to push. Appreciate the post 👍🏻💪🏻
Coach Ray brought your name up as a potential opponent for Leo, he didn't call you out.
Understood… thanks
Correct
He wants John Brzenk he said.
RVJ vs Leonidas is the match to make
Needs to happen 🎉
It wouldnt happen, RVJ will scream steroids lol and Leonidas is much bigger and heavier
I love rvj but he would lose , Leo has too much pancake bicep strength obv not more experience then rob but more enhanced power
RVJ crushes him, and that’s not a knock on Leo. Leo is legit, I staked him against school boy, but RVJ is right near the very top of the game.
@@khc1080 RVJ is 20kg lighter then Leonidas
When leonidas said rvj, I think we all knew it was gonna happen lol
Leonidas didn't say RVJ. Coach Ray did.
Still, everyone wants to see it.
Good takes. Def feel the same about your chances with Irakly. Yes, he’s an imposing figure but let’s not forget his hand was cracked back by Brzenk without the shoulder stability. I think someone with your hand strength cannot be ruled out.
Exactly. Would be an interesting match. It’s cliche but styles do make fights, and AW is no different. A lot of these guy, esp at the top, can all beat each other on any given day. It all comes down to their lanes and who can get there.

Like I said time dude… I know where that level is at
Gotta say rvj and bowen podcast is dope
Love all this! Excited for your upcoming journey! You do really have some crazy experiences on trips!
RVJ I'm so excited for the podcast on Saturdays and ur journey continues I love it ! Take care brother we love ya brother in south Ohio!
Can't wait to hear the pig storie and other vacation mishaps RVJ, glad you had a good time on the cruise I might have to get on one of those soon...I'm glad you are motivated for a crack at the top, a motivated RVJ can be a scary thing
Good evening my friend and I’m happy you had a wonderful time
Happy you guys had a good time
RVJ vs Irakli could be pretty sick.. I'd love to see the revenge on Sasho, but the match with Leo is exciting as well. It'd be cool to see you back at EvW, or on the table in a grinder regardless of promotion. Keep it rollin 🤙🏻
Irakli is on a different level now
well said. Back to training Rob! You vs Leonidas could be very interesting. I'd like to see that.
I've been in a few "me or the pig" situations. And I'm still here. 😆
Let’s go Rob, future world champ!
Thanks for the info 👌🏻👌🏻 Maybe make video show us how to defend attack change during a match if things go south 😅 to leaen more lanes
I think Travis says his way is what worked best for him like i believe you said but i think if you listen to Travis he explains a guy say hooking or pressing or even shows it on the table during practices like back in the day at johns but he just always chooses his way which he definitely says but i do agree with what you with some of these guys

Yeah dude the food was very good. Can’t wait to go on the next one. I was playing basketball games in the middle of the Atlantic ocean on a cruise ship. That was sick.
Appreciate you laying out the differences of high IQ. Moreso the honesty on Engin who gives off a arrogant sense of knowing more than anyone.
Agreed engin sounds like an azzhole at times like his the only one who knows better.
Glad you are back and had a good trip. Would love to see u in shape against some of them eastern guys.

Let's go RVJ! You vs Irakli would be fire. 🔥But please bring your best. We want a war this time. 💪🏽💪🏽
No fire, Irakli now is too strong, total dominance. Bowen is better for show
@@bihurri If he brings his best it would be fire, otherwise I'd agree with you.
Hek yeah ...💪💪💪
Your thoughts on Riekerd Bornman. Thx.
Hey Rob i predicted 11 of the supermatches right on EvW12.... I got Mindaugus vs Arthur, Georgi vs Kurdecha and Sasho vs Irakli wrong.
You're an extremely gifted puller who can achieve what he wants, it's just a matter of long term focus and discipline. Talent working hard will let you overcome most of the PED freaks like Irakli.... Plan a trajectory of opponents and be on your way to #1 at 105kg.
Travis embellishes his training methods but they would only work for him, his leverages and pulling style.
I think Leonidas is supposed to pull Kyrill Sarychev next.
Very true. People selling "this is the way"isms, IS a very one lane, myopic view.
Bro, Travis holding Lupkes inside, that was savage
When ??
He didn’t hold him inside… he held him flat waisted as Richard was about to lose his wrist
@@RobVigeantRVJ you are right, was just side presure
Hell yeah RVJ vs Leonidas let's fucking go !
See ya soon Rob
What does the scale say? Did you move any weights?🙂
Sounds like you had a great time👍🏻
I think the RVJ that faced Sasho was totally unprepared...
The trained, motivated RVJ that exists today is a totally different animal 🦁💪
The irakli match is interesting
That's why I think Brian Shaw would do really good really fast. He lifted and carried those awkward weights and objects around, world record grip records he has, and those ligaments gotta be like steel. Then add 6'8 and 400+ lbs.. he should get good quick if he can learn technique and able to apply it on the table
Glad you made it back safe, and dint have to kill your 'tour guides' to make it 😂

I think rvj vs irakli would be an awesome match. But rvj needs a good win under his belt at EvW for the match to make sense.
I think you match up with Irakli very well.
There needs to be more weight classes and testing then arm wrestling will go big! Levan outweighs Devon by my body weight, somebody equal to his weight and experience can beat him IMO. Looking forward to seeing you pull whoever it is 💪💪
There's that Gilligan coming back from the cruise lol. Well guess you'd be the Skipper cause Gilligan is to small lol. I think youd beat Leonadis. You and Irakli woooo that'd be a tough but I wouldn't count ya out.
im sure Engin knows how kings move and hook etc work
I don't understand the "whole contract issue" so if Rob got a match with one if these guys from east vs west, does that mean he'd be contracted to only pull there and would not be able to pull at some of the other promotions?
I ask because I heard lachlan can't pull in Australia because he's contracted to the coresports division
missed ya
Is cruises codeword for pancakes
Irakli didnt just beat sasho , he decimated him. Irakli is strong as fuck right now
Irakli and Levan are not shy with PED s dosages
Yes, it’s a lane… sometimes going enough to negate someone’s power really does a lot in terms of flipping a match.
I saw rino run over matyushenko with his lane being allowed and a good start… then a little different initiation and it goes opposite way.

@RobVigeantRVJ negating his the lane is only way to beat him imo. He's on that levan protocol
I have been saying this a dream match up for you man! Go get it
Negating is hand is cool…problem is he has some of the strongest biceps in the world as well. Beating him in a hook is no picnic. He’s shown a lot of versatility including the ability to press as well.

People also forget that Leonidas is armwrestling for ~3-4 years now + his prior strength stuff. He's not as new as people make him.
Yes, but top armwrestlers train armwrestling like almost every day. That is like saying it hit the gym for 4 years and the first year, you were there 10 times in a year.
See if Engin will let you pull Irakli at EvW 14 in Orlando … thanks!
I’ve talked about it to him, just depends when.
I’m not sure what dates are for that yet
I think irakli got way better since the match against john. John still has a crazy good hand and pronation, but i dont see him taking control over irakli roght now
Bro you're way too good for that guy, let's get real, you were a champion. No diss, but fuck

And I don’t understand the Bowen match just pull it and get it over with because it’s starting to seem like your running from him and I honestly don’t understand because truthfully I think you would be a huge favorite. I say just pull him to stop all the back and forth shit it’s honestly becoming kind of ridiculous.
He is an arm wrestler but lets be honest, hes still not experienced that much at all
If experience was a big factor senior guys would always beat their juniors…
It doesn’t take too long to learn how to move and what’s going on…if you are athletic
@@RobVigeantRVJ I think there are many factors and not just one. I don't think you should reduce being an arm wrestler to mostly strength, there is much more. Yes junior guys defeat senior guys but many times the junior has been doing it for 10 plus years so experience is no longer an issue. However, in the case of Leonidas, I think experience is still an issue
I’m a fan but Irakli would flash pin you 6 times. The sport has moved on a huge amount since your days
I doubt RVJ could beat schoolboy, let alone handle Leonidas
😂😂😂
Bro, why are you still around?
@@RobVigeantRVJ Because the internet still exists. Get stronger.
I’ve not been impressed with SchoolBoy at all.
I think RVJ would crush him.
The Leonidas match would be interesting from a natty, non natty perspective.
But I think Leonidas might have a little too much “nutrition”.
GRANT! How is the grip training going?
We all secretly knew rob was still afraid of blue Bowen.
Yeah… good read 👍🏻
Nothing on Devon or levan…
For what?… it’s been beaten to death from every angle
@@RobVigeantRVJ just was curious if you were surprised the fact levan is the only guy to ever be stopped in middle round 1 and still beat Devon or do you feel like ppl are saying levan planned that to the haters cause everyone said if he’s stopped anywhere he will lose ?
Irakli Vs RVJ could actually be a really interesting match
what?
Would be interesing to see if rvj able to do better than sasho not win
With all due respect I’d like to see Robb beating anyone in top 10 before saying smth like that..
Man, Irakli is fucking weird. His arm power is damn near as high as Levan's on several lifts and his hand is steel. I respect you a lot, but I don't think you can touch that while staying natty.
Time will tell, he’s strong, but I think his lifts are a tad inflated.
Hutchings ran him over and John and ongarbayev flopped him
For the first time in long time I disagree with you. Irakli would run you over Rob. No doubt in my mind. Not like you couldnt give him any problem at all, but he would win, clean sweep, positive.
Your opinion.
I do know the elite level.
I’ve got a split record with Todd who beat both Irakli and ongarbayev… and he was around 230 while I was 195… and battling injuries.
There are many examples to be made… easy to look at guys tailor made for him and his performance is exaggerated…
He’s very good, but I know the level and have many wins against guys on that level through years.
If I stay training… you’ll be surprised.
I remember the most lopsided vote ever way mask vs Jerry and mask vs hutchings… 90+% were positive Matt was gonna flash both guys…
And honestly the majority wasn’t only wrong… they were WAAAAAY OFFF of reality.
You are making opinion on who I WAS… people evolve… myself included
@@RobVigeantRVJ Brother, I dont underestimate you. I respect hugelly your allready done achievements, which are quite imprerssive, and I allways tought you had perhaps the most potential of allo in your category, or at least that you are among top guys.
Insane genetics and strong both arm and hand.
And also, I do see your seriousness, which Im happy about.
But Irakli, man, look, as you said, my opinion.
You did progress, but he did also. And probably more. Irakli is right now, in my eyes among top guys when speaking about progress.
You do belong with elite, I just think he woud sweep you clean right now. That doesent mean you cant catch up, or that my opinion is something written in stone. In half a year I could see it differently.
Let alone year or more.
But now,, if you had match lets say in next 3 months, nope. Clean sweep as I said.
And Id be super happy if I would be wrong. Its not that I like Irakli man lol, not at all.
good luck on stucking with it man. You could gain so much more in my eyes. Which is effin scary to think about how good would you be.
God bless
@@igorsvacic217 I can see your thoughts… and for a match like that I’d want more time and booked for matches until fall so I’m guessing it’d be at least 6 months or more…
I’ll continue to push.
Appreciate the post 👍🏻💪🏻
todd beat iraki
Your hand is too much for Leo and Irakli's hand is too much for your wrist.
I disagree, but that’s what makes this interesting
You realize I’ve never beentoprolled…
@@RobVigeantRVJeven against John Brzenk?
Recovering from the booze cruise 🛳
