Pro Arm Wrestler challenge people in public - Sport
8:57 “Do you workout a lot?”
“No I deliver furniture”
Full functional strength right there
The bigger guy that won bounced off his elbow from the pad many times and won lol
@@aliyyenman6181 he would’ve won either way honestly he is strong & has muscular endurance from carrying furniture in a static position much like the locked wrist curl position in an arm wrestling match. That’s why no pro tricks were used like the other strong guys yet this was his hardest match. I believe the pro reached muscle fatigue faster & wasn’t strong enough to move the big guys wrist into winning position even after leaning his whole body into the table lmaooo the big guy was so strong he levitated the table ☠️ & the pro
@@csavvthebarber3889 I never said the big guy is weak BUT still he cheated and I can turn round and say if the smaller guy was bigger or same size, he would've easily annihilate him, the smaller guy still put up a good fight against a guy of that size, otherwise the pro is still pretty strong, the bigger guy had all his weight and elbow raise technique which makes a big game changer
Yes he is proportionately a bigger creature. There's not much regular sized guy can do against a 390lb person who isn't obese. Cat vs dog. The technique and specofic strength did almost beat him though.
@@mineduck3050370
Magnus has his shirt on the entire video, he's not even trying
He could have easily won from the prof without his shirt
Great coment
He would’ve turned hulk if he takes it off
😂
Not even his final form
The 6'2 furniture moving guy got insane strength man. Defeating a professional arm wrestler on sheer strength is amazing
That guy is stronger that most pro arm wrestler
It's like one of those stories of the jacked kid arm wrestling the farmer dad
@@oldironsides4107 where are you from?
LMFAO. i haven't laughed this hard in a minute. good shit ahhahaha@@oldironsides4107
To be fair, that guy was *two* guys...😄
13:11 That guy seems like the kind of guy when he's drunk tries to pick a fight with you on a Friday night.
100% - not only on a friday night. He was about to start haha
Yes, serious mental issue there. Got a vicious look in his eyes and had no room for straight old fun.
looks like he was ready to throw fists right then and there
Got the same feeling. Better be ready
@@SCHAUDENLUCAS I just think that he wanted to intimidate Magnus so that he felt that he had the upper hand even though he lost the competition.
You’re a big inspiration to me brother. Thanks again for having me it was a pleasure to finally meet you 💪
Hope to see you again, it was nice that you also conceided that one match like a champ. Keep it up bro!
Props for taking the L to that one massive dude like a champ
Been seeing your shorts a lot lately keep up the good work man! Couldn’t believe this clash of my CZcams worlds lmao. Super sick!
you're a BEAST!
i follow all your vids bro, keep it up, much love from spain!
Love that the guy who never works out and has the humble job of furniture delivery is just an absolute unit of a human being :)
To be fair... some of the strongest people I know just work manual labor jobs. It's like working out... but you do it 40 hours a week for years. :P
@@tomwalker8944 My grandpa worked as a concrete mason for 40 years. Back when there wasn't as much equipment to help with all the labor. I swear to God, he was the strongest man I've ever met. He could literally crush a guy if he wanted.
i been working in manual labour heavy lifting jobs for 22 years since i was 15, 40 - 60 hour weeks i don't consider myself strong. but people always tell me i am.
i dont know if its really strength or proper technique or both.
but i can lift more than people much bigger than i am.
The dude was 370lbs. He was the biggest guy they had the entire day
You know, one could say moving furniture is working out
Magnus really is a good role model even in the way he interacts with people. You see a lot of egos in this video and Magnus just maintains good energy and vibes. Also cool to see how he doesn’t back down.
I feel like most people were pretty cool about losing. Only the one dude was a little crazy and demanded a rematch, lol.
That guy was a wildcard for sure.
Would have been better if he actually had fair matches it defeats the purpose when he has already won in the starting position before they even start the match
@@atte9702 Yeah, and at 9:41 I don't know if it was the angle but it looks like he started at least a quarter of the way down.
100% this. Everyone in the video really was a great sport and just had positive vibes. Whatever "toxic masculinity" is, this was the exact opposite.
8:30 I seriously thought this guys wrist or arm was gonna snap 😂
what makes you think that
Ever see it happen? I cringe at arm wrestling videos because I've seen too many vids of arms snapping during arm wrestling. @@bloc5422
it takes 15 pounds of torque to snap the humerus. It doesn't matter how big and muscular you are.
And I was thinking the table would break xD
@@user-qn9so4mm6vwhy do you know this
"you workout a lot?" "I deliver furniture" thats fucking awesome. Holy shit that guy was strong
Bro he must be delivering queen size beds on his Back to get that strong
@@sanchitory Just the size of him makes him stronger that much
Cyplenkov or larratt would flatten him like a pancake
I consider that working out
@Sanchitory nah bruh he's probably delivering like 90 foot desks made out of oak, colonial Era stuff. No team lift for this man
Magnus missed like every handshake lol.
think you're safe just giving a fistbump? nope. Alright just try a high five next time.... nope.
What do you mean, he's shaking each of their hands for like 10 seconds at least
That's the issue with unconventional handshakes, everyone has its own version and you always see that kind of misses
Handshakes are gross anyway, I've seen so many people leave public restrooms without washing their hands, I'll stick to fist bumps.
@@TheOnlyGhxst Joke's on you, I wipe my ass with my fist.
Shout out to this rock climber for lasting all those rounds. It is incredibly difficult to keep going like that. Anyone who arm wrestled before knows what will happen the next day after going for multiple rounds... yikes.
but then again, rock climbers have insane forearm stamina like holy shit, these people are strong
Yea and he knows how to arm wrestle, his hand was above most of their hands if there is not a big difference between you and and another wrestler most likely the one woth the hand advantage wins
Most of his videos are amazing :)
I used to arm wrestle at parties a lot in high school and college, and I'll never get tired of how many dudes take it so personally and refuse to accept defeat at this very niche activity/ sport. I was never super strong, just bigger than the other person, but the amount of excuses when someone is losing is mind boggling. Guy that shows up at 12:26 is a perfect example
To be fair it was an elbow foul the first time.
lol you trippin', the dude just wanted a fair match. magnus elbow was way off the pad before the pin lol.. it's pretty obvious if you watch it objectively and not with your feelings.
yeh that is what I meant Magnus did the elbow foul@@khmer5o3
Arm wrestling really does bring something out in the male ego, lol.
I rewatched that match, Magnus' elbow was clearly touching the pad at all times, besides even if it was a foul, there's no need to act like that@@khmer5o3
7:44 was one of the most epic arm wrestling matches I've ever seen, haha!
That dude’s elbow got tired of remaining on the pad.
@@joeyvirrosai3574 hahah foulest match I've seen
Wait you're here too haha
@@rizkiyoist wonder if there’s a big yoyo/climbing overlap?
@@lordgreenbean Not yet, but maybe @magmidt could make it happen?? 🤷♂
8:05 The whisperer is no joke holy shit. big dude said he’s 370lbs, and he STILL had to lift his elbow off the table three or four times, and tilt the whole table off the ground to barely get the win. Those sunglasses must be like +50 STR
He is a supposed "pro armwrestler", losing to a non armwrestler. I believe he is overrated.
@@thomas.861 he held his own for a long while and I recon could have beat him. But his opponent was massive and their technique may have not tricky followed the guidelines.
@@thomas.861 that guy said he's 170kg (370lbs) and also did major flaws multiple times like lifting his elbow up
Most pro armwrestlers of his weight class would smoke him, just because he's known doesnt mean he's good. Just like Schoolboy.
@@thomas.861 Lol there is weight classes for pro arm wrestling
Magnus didn’t need much backup, dude is STRONG.
Magnus is a gent. His arms were tired towards mid way through the video as anyone would be, taking on so many. Once the arm starts to hurt, it's not a good idea to continue
with other opponents cos it just exacerbates the stress on the arms and it can tear and worsen the injury.
Strength is not measured just physically but mentally and in his attitude and demeanour as host. Thank you Magnus for the vid. You are truly strong as a man.
As for the pro arm wrestler, ain't taking nothin' away from that bro.....
Wow, that one guy was so aggressive. I really thought that he was going to punch you.
@@woodcrafter7361 can magnus fight?
@@umershaikh7179 he's had mma training too
@@elysanaya8571 lol I wouldn’t call that fighting
Magnus is cheating most of these matches. Starting unfair position no wonder dudes annoyed. He fought for fair start and still lost but fair game to him
@@theduffman9834 no
14:50 the guy who took the $40 is the smartest one 😂😂
@@wolololer I respect the guy taking the $40. Sometimes just knowing you can't beat that guy is enough and props to him for recognizing it. I think if it was me I'd be willing to give up the $40 just for the chance to see how strong that guy really was. I know I'd lose but that's worth it.
They started off with zero and something tells me these people aren't starving. So I'm assuming they were just asking for the $100 to test their might with the big boss. I'd probably do the same, depending on the day
He seemed like a good bloke, seemed happy to get the 40, good for him.
Watching this a month ago was my introduction to armwrestling. Got me hooked and quickly subbed the whisperer, which lead me to Devon, who got me hooked even more and now I am paying for my very first Ppv match east VS west 9. Thank you Magnus and Whisperer for the initial push. Great video
How’d it go?
This was such a great video, it had me smiling the entire time. Everyone was so respectful and positive and had great sportsmanship. The best part was when the 370 lb guy won, and his girl leapt into his arms. You guys absolutely made his year and he was so humble about his victory. 11/10 this is exactly what youtube should be.
Very humble of him at the end to say the man that did beat him "Earned it for sure" without mentioning he was 370lbs and twice his weight. Great stuff guys
But the guy was inexperienced and experience is alot in arm wrestling
@@nightlockerz1165 weight always matters no matter how you look at it
Nahhh he meant that. He tried his hardest.
A pro and a great sport
@@nightlockerz1165lmao you can't be serious. I would love to see my lean arse beating a buffed guy because I have experience
12:23 that guy gave me really scummy feels, he comes off aggressive and confrontational.. He tried to start dirty, couldn't accept defeat, accused Magnus of cheating, keept invading his personal space and was generally twitchy af.
psycho vibes from him for sure
Yeah, met a lot of guys like that.
If push comes to shove, let ‘em think they’ve won. Creepy.
They're simply trash people.
He was on drugs
Seeing him lose the second time was very satisfying.
You two are great guys, and it is especially enjoyable to see you interacting with everyday people like us. I hope to see either one of you on the east coast near North Carolina someday.
Whisper just taught 99% of viewers more than they’ve ever learned in arm wrestling. And that was a BIG STRONG boy that beat them
man that big guy is insanely strong. wonder how hed be if he trained
Yeah, has to have huge potential
He is 4 times the size of magnus.
Stronk
he is strong but won because he took his elbow off the pad , so the match wasn t really fair
ofc he is strong, dude weighs probably 140 kg and mostly muscle. Huge leverage advntage
Throughout the video, I caught myself smiling all the time. It is very nice to see how people just have fun and enjoy communication.
same here buddy
I totally agree with you !!
Same, great vid!
You gotta have some jokes to tell while wrestling, just to crack people up..
Yeah, it's rarer with the passing of everyday.
I'm adding this video to my pre-workout list to get myself pumped up for the gym. Awesome job out there. Please make more of these!
Gotta love the whisperer. Tells rookies to keep wrist straight, then proceeds to set the hook before the go. Beautiful
That furniture mover dude was great. Great profession to develop great grip and arm strength. Hopefully he finds an armwrestling camp near him.
Looked like he knew a little bit about arm-wrestling. The grip he used and so forth.
he's 370lbs
@@LifeLofty you callin him fat
@@robocu4 Very.
Why are so many people impressed that he beat two guys literally one third of his size? And he's already training, moving fornitures 8 hours a day is more training than either Magnus or the other guy do. Plus he already knew how to position his hand, how to fight the wrist, and even how to move the elbow outside the mat, so he was just playing coy but he already had some experience.
I dont think people realize how much raw power the furniture guy must posses to beat a professional arm wrestler without having any technique knowledge (or maybe just rudimentary). Crazy strong
as soon as he stepped up i knew he had a chance, guy is built like a human clydesdale.. even before he said the answer to the “do you workout” question i was like “this guy is in construction/trades”.. but yes to take down a pro arm wrestler on sheer arm strength is insane
Ye, this guy ist definitely trading stuff. Looks like a typical wallstreet broker.
I worked with a guy built like that. About 6'3 320. I'm 5'8 150 his forearm is two of mine. We armwrestled it's pointless because he has such a mass advantage. It's like AAA battery vs a 12 volt.
@@mineduck3050 People forget that dudes in professions like that basically eat and work out like powerlifters lol.
"Yeah bro I go the gym for 5 hours a day 3 days a week. Then do cardio on the weekends to lean up."
"Yeah but I move pianos, refrigerators, and washer/dryers 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Then eat 6,000 calories a day. :P"
@@tomwalker8944 ok stop yapping
Smiling the whole time after a depressed day man thanks for this :) put me in a better mood and everything good stuff
After all the doomsday AI and horrible news stories that YT recommends me; man it was nice to watch something this fun and wholesome. I love how encouraging you were to all your competitors, and you all just had such fun!
I was about to type this out…seeing everyone smile and get along and all walks of life enjoying it. Love it…
You don't need to listen to that bullshit lmao. I guarantee you if you get off your phone and just go about your life.... you would forget all that stuff even exists and it would have ZERO impact on your life or existence. Be happy.
ik i'm late but i had the same thoughts, this was really refreshing
AI will be fine. I have no mouth but I must scream.
Magnus going for a fist bump every time but ending up awkwardly clashing with some people who went for a handshake/high five kept making me chuckle
Well, honestly fist bump is the most safe when there's like 1000's of ways doing this half shake/touch into a handshake move. Just let them see your fist, stick it out and stick with it. Awkward thing was that he constantly decided to change it up when he saw someone else wanted to shake hands or whatever. Always stick with it or else it gets weird. Even when they decide to stick to a half open hand I would just tap that still with my fist.
I call that the "trailer hitch"
Same
Fist bumps only serve simps and gays.
When in America with people under 40, you go for the dap up. It's like an unspoken rule
Damn that construction guy.. Magnus really diffused the situation with that: “You’ve arm wrestled before though?”
That’s what I was thinking as well. By giving that guy some positive reinforcement diffused a possible confrontation. Magnus knows psychology.
I think that guy wasn't sober.
Yeah, very strange vibes... He wants to dominate every situation. Aggressive too.
@@dingdingdingdiiiiing also known as: Being a prick.
''unhinged''.
Magnus you always have such great collabs! awesome video
My favorite part is watching Mag be so concerned about others safety, he’s constantly making sure no one gets hurt or injured.
14:40 love this guy - he's just like nah i'm gunna take my winnings thanks i don't need to prove anything. Big smile on his face as he says it, doesn't give af he's like great thanks that'll do me, see ya.
And he son say go daddy, that's probably give him more strength
Moving furniture is no joke, damn
@@Nitrxgen Helps if you're twice the size too
@@Syndicate999999 yup, actually more than twice. 370lb is insanely heavy lmao
Size difference too tho, put him up against Devon no contest
@@FreerunnerCamilo He still has potential even he was trained. Devon is the GOAT so losing to him is understandable.
Nah bro the guy is just built different
It's so cool to have too much great ideas of videos with a good mood. Love that!
Best part of this wasn't the massive skill Magnus had in this very quickly, but his amazing sportsmanship showing what a class act he truly is. Kudos!
That one guy was absolutely HUGE. whisperer was nowhere near his weight class. There's hardly anyone in the world that can compete against someone that more than doubles their own weight. Impressive from that guy regardless though. As well as the display from magnus. Good stuff all across the board.
He likely would have beaten him if he tried from the beginning. Also the big guy committed a few fouls, but that doesn't take away from how massive and strong he was.
@@adamnguyen4517 he probably just didn't know the rules
@@criticalmass8328 He let him win.. He purposely gave up his hand and played defensive multiple times on top of the big guy committing major fouls throughout. Just shows you how good of an armwrestler he is to be able to hold a guy likely double his weight and strength.
@@criticalmass8328 even if he did, he's an amateur, bound to make loads of mistakes without thinking about it.
Only people like the GOAT Brzenk
13:30 You ready? "im already pulling" saddest thing ive ever seen bro strong as hell
This is excellent! For some reason I have smile on my face the whole time watching this video!! Never thought arm wrestling can be this fun.
So much fun watching this! Great channel Magnus! You're a trip kiddo! I can't imagine how your arm felt at the end of that day. Take care buddy!
Really love that Magnus encourages even his opponenents. His genuine nice way is what makes these challenge videos so enjoyable to watch.
5:47 I love that you recognized that was an odd position and checked. It really shows you’re prioritizing safety and sportsmanship here
his arch went crazy tho
@@big_banana7194 fr fr
It was odd but probably one of the most safest positions at preventing bones from snapping. Possible bicep tear at that position though under too much force.
That's the position where people can tear their bicep
What????? That's one of the easiest ways to snap the bones
you two have good chemistry, definitely someone id suggest you collab with more, good video premise too
Epic! What I liked the most is how positive all the folks were! Lots of positive vibes!
My hole itches
12:38 whole interaction was weird 💀
Magnus this kind of format is extraordinary : making other disciplines and experts look good and make it such a fantastic vibe reality show... You're killing it!
Yeah agree, I never thought I would enjoy watching armwrestling. Pleasantly suprised.
Love how humble the pro guy was after being beaten. Kudos
That was a very fun video to watch! Thank you!
The big guy was such an interesting test case because it shows that there's this limit to how much technique matters when there's a strength gap, but also it took a humongous strength gap to overcome the technique advantage.
Yes but he would have been disqualified in a competition because he traveled away from the bag and also left the bag by lifting his elbow from it and using that strength gain.
lifted elbow 2 times + was pulling the table up, disqualification would be guaranteed.
We can give him credit for being a challenge but too much fouls
Well yeah cuz the other big guy 6’4” guy went down like a sack of bricks 5’11” Mickey Msntle snd Mike Tyson have as much power or more than Aaron Judge for instance
@@spacefertilizer And did you look at the Pro? he did exactly the same thing, came off the bag at least twice, not to mention he tried to slip him when he knew he was gonna lose.
When the guy said I deliver furniture, it made sense. There is training muscles, but work muscles don’t get to choose when they stop. They stop when the job is done, which makes them physically and mentally stronger.
also grip strength really important because usually furniture can be smooth af and you have to grip on little edges or just bare pressure
@@driesjansen3273 Exactly! No one cares how much it hurts, or if it is difficult to hold. If you drop it, you might mess up the guy helping, or drop the furniture.
Yeah, it sure couldn't be that the guy weighted 370, no, it was definitely that he was physically and mentally stronger because of his blue-collar job.
@@YeeLeeHaw nobody dismissed that. no fat dude that doesnt atleast work out or do a physicly intense job would win vs the pro arm wrestler. weighing 370 alone doesnt win
@@YeeLeeHaw ok? I was just talking about his grip strength specifically, which is not necessarily linked with weight. I think everyone got the point that he was big lol, as that was clear from the video. But his job def helps as well, if you're just big you won't win
I really enjoyed watching that video. It's one of those videos that makes you smile as you watch it.
5:47 This is precisely what you want to see in fun contests like this. Good on you all for being so cautious with these folks' safety!
Jit got that obunda going all over
Right, I was really worried at some of the arm positions! As you say, good to see they're looking after the bio-mechanics.
Man the guy at 12:22 was pissing me off treating you like that Magnus glad he seemed harmless in the end. On another note, really cool to see you branching out into the arm wrestling community with Etienne Magnus. Would love to see you collab with Devon or ArmwrestlingTV potentially in the future. Love all your content regardless however :)
he has some demons for sure. Thats what happens kids when you don't heal your traumas
Yeah. I was nervous about the Italian guy too. Even though he was all smiles he was being aggressive and not listening to E.T. when he was refereeing. idk. Just never know who you're gonna meet when you interact with strangers.
He seemed genuinely butthurt about losing to Magnus. Ego bruised for sure
@@ctsanger yeah, he let it go in the end tho and congratulated him which was nice to see
Naw magnus was cheating unfair start more than half of these matches climbing early, dude just wanted a fair match and when he got it accepted the result
More than your skills, your humbleness gravitates me towards you, such a nice human being ❤❤
The furniture guy had elbow fouls,so that pro arm wrestler won in a real arm wrestling contest.
“Is that a dangerous position”
Honestly Magnus is such a good dude for asking this I’ve seen a couple of injuries before and you never want to hurt someone whilst armwrestling
I almost didn't click on this, because arm wrestling can be so dangerous, and I didn't want to cringe seeing a bad injury. My friend hurt his arm for about 5 days arm wrestling a guy who was 40 pounds heavier than him. Luckily he didn't break anything. But the arm breaks from arm wrestling are life ruining (don't do a Google search for Mega Man arm break).
13:00 bros ego got crushed by Magnus
Dude was a psycho
Big guy lifted his elbow off twice but without any technique he beat the pro. Impressive
Liked how considerate Magnus was around the 6-minute mark regarding the arm position of his competitor ..respect
This one felt the most dangerous out of all the different muscle beach videos, both because arm wrestling can cause pretty bad injuries and because it’s an actual direct physical competition between you and strangers
potential for injury is high in arm wrestling, both because of the strain and people being so unpredictable and confrontational
I was just waiting for a forearm snap
Yeap they really need a pro armwrestler judge for these videos.
@@holliswilliams8426 you literally just rephrased his comment
cuz some people you can't damage ego
The Italian guy refusing to play by the rules, reminds me of soccer 😂
To be fair he didn’t understand what they were saying. That’s why when his friend translated he listened better.
I take that italian guy before the american dude from around 12:20 any day of the week.
@@eladrio2311 That dude was not American.
COPE
what makes you say that? I didn't notice an accent@@colinheller6701
This is so cool! Thanks Magnus!!
There was 3 elbow fouls (lifting elbow of the pad) by the 370 lb pound man that beat arm wrestling whisperer.
So everytime arm wrestling whisperer was in good position it was neutralized.
12:40
that was some aggressive vibes lol 😂
Douche vibes
ET, thanks for not being arrogant and being humble and trying to help people in this sport. You'll be no. 1 before you know it brother. Most impressive Sir. God bless you and yours.
The guy with the black hoodie was so unpredictable haha I really thought he was going to kick your ass after you won haha! I am glad you won twice 😂
He'd try. Don't think he'd be able to do much against both magnus and the whisperer. Definitely a sketchy looking dude with the way he acted. I was definitely puckering up when magnus kept letting him come in close.
Luckily I think there were too many people around for a sane person to try anything, and Magnus is really strong too. Wouldn't be a good idea to pick a fight.
I do agree he was shady, I think he was kind of pissed off despite how "friendly" he was acting.
Seemed like quite an attention seeker for sure too.
Arm wrestling is a fun way to show your strength. You never see anyone become unfriendly, regardless of whether the person wins or loses.
12:30 So glad Magnus humbled this weirdo.
Honestly thought he was gonna hit him or something
You'd be surprised how many people really get offended when they get beat in armwresting!
i think the dude was high
magnus is utilizing the tips the whisperer gave him, which is that he can win much easier by holding a grip that focuses on extending onto the thumb. The Italian dude, who you call a weirdo, is very much not a weirdo to me. He's someone who is aware of the basic structure of a fair contest.
@@arthinm7346 He is high.
the matchups with the 370lb guy was awesome! and omg the aggressive guy...magnus was definitely nervous haha, looks like he was about to fight
Outstanding to see tough guys who are fair and humble🙏
14:18 I was rooting for him, smartest guy of the bunch!
A lot of respect for asking "Is that a dangerous position" glad you're always looking out for people! Amazing stuff as always magnus :)
Just seen a bot literally copy my comment lmao
11:43 Very impresive how he changes the technique to be able to recover the position
yeah that was wild
That was a veteran trick. He was in a losing position, so he let opponents hand slip away. The opponent, instead of lettin it slip and resetting, naively gave up his position and you can see the whisperer immediately capitalized.
Professional wrestlers often use that move, and it usually ends in both slipping away and breaking up. Then the judges has to tie their hands together.
I wasnt even aware that was legal in arm wrestling 😂…I thought once your hands and fingers are locked, you can’t un wrap them. I Learned something new today
First I thought Magnus was already too strong, but after a while, realized he's actually a good middle ground
13:05 That odd fellow...
9:00 "naah I deliver furniture"
Hahahaha savage:D
There's nothing more I love in fitness and competition than the friendliness and enthusiasm it brings. Everybody wants everybody to do their best
So much to learn from this to let's say "business men"
If a person tells you how he can be beat, than that person respects the art. A professional wants to be the best but understands that others will come after. That I will always respect.
This was fun to watch man ! Thnx
Etienne is such a nice and humble guy. What a champion. You put up a hell of a showing too Magnus, I didn't think you'd ever give him a turn at the table! haha.
Stupid question but is he Muscle Glasses from Epic meal time?!? 😂
@@alakazamle no. Don't even look alike.
@@l4rryh00verftw I must be faceblind.
5:53, that position is how people break their arm arm wrestling. I'm glad Magnus or the collab recognized it.
"Delivery Man beats professionals"
That's some Rocky Balboa training in the woods to beat facility tested Drago right there
Freaking whole ring was shaking XD
Love the pro! He is like nodding to the opponents, such a nice guy.
12:56 the anger in magnus’s eyes is immaculate
No more mister nice guy there. Understandably so.
he was obviously trying not to get angry, can't say I blame him
How can anger be immaculate?
@@BlGGESTBROTHER the perfect anger! "Im trying to arm wrestle a tard" anger. Immaculate
I would have just called him disqualified and moved on. That guy was dumber than a box of rocks.
13:16 nah for real, i think he rly was pissed. I thought he gonna punch magnus fr
props to magnus on being such a polite guy
Watching them go from Magnus to Etienne is probably the closest thing I've seen to real life anime fights moving from boss to boss
Look closely at 13:48 how he resets his grip, to where his opponent is now palm up and he is palm down. Beautiful and seamless execution of that technique!
Great performance Magnus! You being a professional rock climber gives you a huge upper hand, had you executed the techniques your friend was teaching you, then you would have won far more matches.
is that a thing though, can you explain to me the rules? It looks so cheesy, like a cheat code. Is releasing the grip on the other hand even allowed
@@island-jules couldn't have hoped for a better answer, tysm 👋
@@island-jules thanks for sharing that, I was wondering the same as TheLifeLaVita
Yeah that was smooth.
Basically its like cheating vs someone who doesnt know they could just let off his hand too. I think he could have lost one or two if he didnt do that cheesy ass thing, so lame
I've watched whatever the whisperer does with his hand at 13:50 about 5 times now and I still can't wrap my head around it.
He releases the grip with his fingers and uses the opponents grip on his thumb to pull them into an advantageous postion then regrips. Its honestly pretty cheap and he's using the opponents lack of knowledge of the rules.
A fellow pro would have just let go of his thumb and gone to straps or held onto the thumb and torqued it so he couldnt regrip advantageously. There were 2 more guys that would have beat him if not for this cheap exploit he was using.
Please post more of these!
We as kids did this, but the rules were never to bend the wrists, and to never use the weight of our bodies, - it was pure arms wrestling!
You can see clearly Whispers move at 13:50.1 He bends his wrist and loses the other guys grip on him, while having all his body weight thrown in!
Good video!!
Yeah honestly when I think arm wrestling, I think of those childhood rules that limit it to pure arm strength. But as a sport, I see now it makes sense to have that wrist/grip/bodyweight strategy involved in arm wrestling
I deeply admire the fact that you were willing to do this in public in LA, there's a lotta guys out there with something to prove that start acting a bit weird when they get humbled 😅Love the content though, would love to compete(and lose) against you!
Yeah like the skinny looking white guy who didn't like elbow reaching the corner
@@jason200912 Yeah, he was kind of a weirdo, in my opinion. Trying to cheat during the match and also denying that he already lost the 1st time.
@@anoniem7062 it was the prison rapist from the show prison break
Well said, brother! I expected some beef to happen but it just kind of never did. I was smiling from ear to ear watching this! Have a great day! - leifo
They're at Venice Beach, not Compton or Watts.
I love how magnus is watching out for his opponents putting their hands in dangerous positions ! Really caring.
Seeing Magnus trying arm wrestling is really fun to see as an arm wrestling fan
I never realised there was any actual technique to arm wrestling lol, cool to see, and that bout at 7 minute mark or so was awesome to watch.
8:35 Their battle was so epic! I never thought I'd find an arm wrestling match so fun! Wow. Did NOT think he would win against the master arm wrestler!
The much bigger guy lifted his elbow many times and won lol
@@aliyyenman6181 If the elbow of the offensive competitor comes off the pad prior to a pin it will not be counted and a foul will be given.
I think The Whisperer gave him a lot of rope, but it was an epic battle regardless.
