Seeing Devon's arms get straighten is kinda oddly satisfying.
When i see his arms I just want him to force them straight to see what happens
That's why I clicked on this video as soon as I saw it.
this is like the good version of a pimple pop vid
@@robertkelly6963 vomit wtf you talkin about
@@robertkelly6963 I 100% know what you’re talking about couldn’t agree more
Please, never stop doing content with Devon, it's SO GOOD!
Yea, his channel is dieing, if you drop him, he'll have no life.
More Devon +1
@@metaldetectingoutlaw8389 he's just doing way too much now. With that beautiful gym he has he only need to bring over some big names to workout there and he'd be able to share tons of quality content
@@MoralesCorner he’s no longer #1, he’s a has been
@@metaldetectingoutlaw8389 metal detecting outlaw...you are a "never was" if Devon is a "has been"...lol you turd...you dork...you bottom bunk punk...go strap your headphones on and do some "detecting"...dweeb
Dude with Devon's beard...he'd be a godlike Wolverine lol
Or a good sabertooth lol
Wolverine is super short, Devon is super tall. He also has zero acting experience. I could go on but already that’s enough there.
@@joelt5994 you slow man
I do love to see him in a movie as sabertooth
More like a giant Captain Price (COD)
It's amazing how Devons arm is literally conditioned to arm wrestle, locked in place and has and instinct to pull once resistance is put on his arm. Fascinating fr
yeah, like it's a "muscle memory" thing built and/or trained into is brain....
But also, his arm, because of injuries, is more or less locked into place as an arm that detects arm wrestling pressure and can counter it.
Looks at Denis arm, locked on 90 degrees lmao
Muscle memory.
bro added fr on the end
I want a 2 month long series of Donnie working on Devon's arm weekly to get it straight
Well he really wouldn't tbh.. logan is 5 foot 7
Studies have shown this isntt healthy. They are online. These deep massage sh*t is bogus that not only doesnt work, but hurts nerve connections.
right? I feel like he could completely fix it
He’s got arthritis in his elbows they won’t be straight
@trekker75 THe reason arm wrestlers cant straighten their arms is from 2 things.. Shortening of the bicep from constant training, then the elbow joint starts to become calcified. This is the term they call "bone lock".. Indeed, on top of constant stretching over time, Devon would need surgery to remove the calcium build up in his elbow. You can literally see, pre-surgery, Devon's elbow bone grow as he arm-wrestled over the years.
Devon out here looking like Wolverine!
More like sabertooth 🤘🏽
Wow I've never heard that before 🙄
@@JP-jb5di old comment dude, people always say that..
@@rupin yeah he would be a very good Sabertooth actually
@@rupin hmmmm nope
Devons right arm is a master piece of psychotic commitment! Great content
:)
ya thats a good way to describe it.. his arms are a fucked up masterpiece.. them things are mangled but they tell a story
Yeah, 100%. It's like the more broken they became the more he trained them into steel, insane.
"My arm always hurts..." So yeah...psychotic commitment.
“I can honestly say in all my years of powerlifting, that is the most fucked up athlete i have ever seen” that shit sent me
I would love to see Devon get a deep tissue massage on his arms just to see how knotted up they are. Also the therapists reaction to his freakish forearms.
Or a chiropractor gettin some mad pops out of him lol
Dr. Beau
Please don't ruin that guys arm.
Stop with those tiktok cracking wankers
@@heyitsjoe8446 A proper one please, not a smoke seller
Time to straighten those T-Rex arms out!
This is what I want to see
That is not good for armwrestling
@@EmilianoZap this is not necessarily true
😆 but that's where the power comes from lol
@@Pepe-pq3om it's probably true for people who use the king's move. Either way he could just pull Levan a few more times if he wants it straightened out.
I really like Devon's personality when he isn't competing. He's very calming and inquisitive. I hope he's able to live pain-free with the tax his body has paid from a long career of arm-wrestling
He´s done a whole lot of things before arm-wrestling, too, definitely not all beneficial...
Its so great to see you and Devon hanging out a bunch. Such natural flow in the last few videos. Nothings forced. Just real moments.
They seem like nice guys, and always have a good vibe going on in their content. Some of the other arm-wrestlers, especially the guys from Europe, have a more stoic, reserved personality. These guys are relaxed, and have a good sense of humor. Devon turns on his ego during the tournaments, but it’s all in the spirit of competition, and to give the crowd some entertainment for those in attendance. He puts on a show, and makes sure the crowd gets their money’s worth. He’s been a good ambassador for the sport, and has definitely helped to popularize it, making it grow to what it is today.
Larrat clearly working on his wolverine costume.
Can’t get enough of Devon and Juji! 💪🏻
Dude the level at which you combine and shine light on different worlds within the workout genre is getting better and better
So this is the content that I love to see on your channel Juji. What you said at the beginning about getting people together that wouldn't normally cross paths is the gold you give. 💯
Juji you don’t understand how much this series with Devon means to me. Thank you Guys so much!
Inclined to agree. The Levan thing had me worried about Devon's arm but as is often the case with great people, he's not moping, These long-form videos with Juji really highlight both guys' character, on top of being entertaining as hell. Moar pleez
The fact that Donnie is in your gym excites me, looking forward to more content with him, what a great human !
Devon comes off as such a genuine human being….. great video!
I have to say, Juji, you’ve been killing it with the uploads recently. I know how hard you work outside of your videos, so I appreciate the content. You’re awesome! Also, I know you have an amazing crew who busts their asses, too! P.S. Devon is legendary
About 30 or 40 more cycles of this and Devon might be able to straighten out his arm...
Or at least 7 or 8% straighter
With his surgery it just simply won’t. My yeah maybe slightly straiter but can’t fully extend.
He probably doesn't want to make it easier to straighten. Been on a tear lately.
His arm has been in such a position for a long time, that he cannot make a natural extension, because of the shortening of the muscles, he will never be able to do it again.
His wingspan would be massive if it were possible.
These exercises kicked my butt! Question for you... have you ever used Next Level Diet? I got a custom meal plan for muscle-building from them and I love it.
Devon is so chill i like watching vids with him in it :D
Devon is a damn specimen
Just wanted to say I really appreciate the content here lately! The big group, the music video, sandwiches and even having these crossover videos that unite different genres of athletics/strength building!
Here is where I’m going to start my journey. I’m going use your encyclopedia of information you have posted here, to better myself. More specifically my body. Thank you Juji and Devon. I have just been observing for a long time and I think it’s time to start building my arsenal.
Thanks man, I am going to look into this. Great collaboration week with Devon
Love this format. Immediately into topic, up close with Juji and friends, just spontaneous interactions.
How long have you been in love now?
You could do a whole series on getting devons arm worked on by different professionals
Just needs a bunch of construction guys and a few welders
I didn't know Devon was in the Canadian special forces! I had to look it up and the dude looks wicked in a deployment picture I found. He's a bad dude. Respect brother.
Top quality content on youtube for a change! Thanks guys - please keep up the good work. Both Juji and Devon are amazing!
Would have been really neat to get a measure of the angle in Devon's elbow before and then after to see how much his arm might have been able to straighten out. Love the gnarly guy.
He went from pronounced T-Rex arms to almost good. I think it's a smart thing the chat after, they were told '"there was probably a bunch of junk in the joint that got pushed out." It happens to a lot of athletes. Would be interested to see if Beau could do anything abou his arms, too. He got Nick Best his shoulder and neck back, so this kind of therapy might bring Devon even more longevity for his career. Quality of life matters.
Oh, now it makes sense that’s why he’s such a good arm wrestler, he can’t straighten his arm without tearing tendons lol
Love Donnie's energy, great combo with Devon too. Thanks as always
How long have you two been in love?
Wow, this is amazing and so simplistic. The best ideas are usually the simplest ones.
dont let Devon be so humble. he wasnt just a Special Forces guy. he was a Tier 1 Operator. badass doesnt describe Devon. he's in his own league.
When Devons arms are straight the adamantium claws will come out.
Donnie’s awesome and a good human. Been following for a while. Since I had an accident falling off a ladder 25 odd years ago I try to go for a full body massage every month. My preferred is deep tissue Thai. Devon’s a monster! Keep on rockin!
Happy ending?
I want to say that I watch Devon teaching a young buck some techniques yesterday and was just thinking how I've never seen him get physical therapy on his arms. CRAZY that I stumble upon this. Dude is a legend walking. Health is such an adermined tool and even weapon. Just having health and youth on your side I mean, that's something that when it's gone it's gone. We have to keep ourselves fit and do maintenance as well. A rough sport really impacts these athletes. Good to see more awareness and new knowledges being implemented and spread on platforms. Great content!
I could literally watch Juju and Devon all day, always entertaining.
Devon, Eric and juji and Antoine need to start a band called FLESH TENSION
I know you hear this a lot but I wanted to say when you (Juji) and Devon hang out and do stuff- you two are so cool and fun that it relaxes me and chills me out and makes my day better. I just wanted to say thank you for that and the fun stuff and informational stuff you bring to myself and other viewers. :) have a good day guys
been wanting to see him get this kind of work done for awhile hell ya
I've been doing this when I'm sore for years didn't know it was a thing! Very intriguing thanks for the video!
I've met and attended a seminar with Donnie. He's informative and his techniques do help prevent injury and aid in recovery. I highly recommend anything you can learn from him.
Donnie has the beard thats missing from Devons chin
I really enjoy the mix of people you bring together
These gusy are great together. Hope to see Juji & Devon having more fun in the future
Just had my first tempering I live in Iowa and it’s becoming popular, highly recommend it
Juji found the real life oldman logan. 💪🏽
Donnie is a personal family friend of ours, has been for years. He’s such a good guy and really shows how much he cares about taking care of his body and the bodies of those he trains with. Great man!
U be my friend 😢
Devon is such a special dude.. His energy with others foe or friend.. His smile and demeanor… He is a true alpha…He soothes the hens..🙏☺️
Please make a straighten Devon Arms series😂😂
As a Canadian I can tell he politely thought this was all BS 😂
hahaha i can feel that too
I got that exact same vibe - and honestly the whole time I was thinking this too. This is definitely bro-science, if you know that term.... you see a lot of that in bodybuilding, where ancedotal experiences get passed around, and become set in stone, but arent really based on science. There's a place for it - because afterall, that's what humans do - we try things out, make a note of what affect it had, and we share our experiences. I'd imagine this technique of rolling could be beneficial in the right circumstances, but I think it could also be harmful for someone with injuries like Devon possibly
Because it is... It's like cupping.
OMG Devon need so much more of this and massage! I love it.
"I summon the Playful Possum!" - Juji
The idea of having 150+ lbs of solid metal rolling on my back...JUST SOUNDS AMAZING!! Great stuff Juji. You Got Another Sub!
Devin looking like he could play a Wolverine role lol
He fits all the criteria. Hairy, Canadian, manly, muscular but in a farmer strong way and not a bodybuilder way. Only thing is he’s way too tall. Comic accurate Wolverine is like 5’6” or shorter
Body Tempering looks so beneficial! Devon's commentary on it was veey descriptive too. Great video! Fatapillar!!!!
My word I need this done to me. That looks amazing.
I had body tempering done on me a month or so back (before a strongman comp) and it was a crazy experience. At one point my whole body felt like it was vibrating, my head was up in the clouds and I was just singing to myself to cope.
Did it help any? It seems like it would be great for MMA training as well.
It's great no matter what.
Sounds similar to my first chiropractic adjustment lol. When my neck was cracked for the first time I started seeing crazy colors for a second and it almost felt like drugs
Loved seeing Kenny in the background lol. You and dad need to make more videos together because they are pretty entertaining 😆
I bet you did
Need more Devon!!! Great video 😁
GREAT Video. SuperD is the man. Devon looks like WOLVERINE. He's former special forces and a pro arm wrestler, I would NOT wanna be on his bad side!!!
Juji has hit the next level past year or so.
My theory is Devon let his arm get arthritic on purpose, so no one can get his arm down in an armwrestling match! Great video, thanks for sharing!
i think it comes naturally with armwrestlers because of their training
I had a coach w a set of tempers. I know exactly what you guys are feeling. I’m a HUGE fan of these. Feels soooo good. Miss them!!
I remember seeing a old video of jay cutler talking about how important foam rolling post lift is for opening up the muscle and getting extra blood in there 👍🏻
When i was squatting 4-5 times a week i used to roll my quads with the fixed weight bb. That was a great relief
Devon is like taking your farm animal to the vet
Lol
🙌🏽🌟🙌🏽👏🏼🙌🏽👍🏽🙌🏽🙏🏼🙌🏽🤟🏽🙌🏽♾️MAN SIR DEVON'S ARM WAS LIKE ON ITS PATH TO COMPLETE FLEXION
Really effective method explanation,. Looks really helpful
Devon asking if he wanted to roll dude out was so funny.
what an incredible approach to PT, this is brilliant ... that pad Devon is laying on > any massage table ive ever seen
You could just tell how uncomfortable he was when the roller went over his glutes, and even more when it was just below it lol. Devon is the mans man, he probably didn't like this at all but was still kind enough to act like he did.
I used to watch Devons arm wrestling matches now i watch almost any video i see featuring Devon
I can see the logic with this. Well done guys, I would like to see Devon do this more and give us some long term feedback. Arm Wrestlers have different kind of problems alot of the time massage can't fix.
If this can help then so can massage since this is just massage with tools.
Devon is channeling the wolverine very nicely
I love this, nice body work, with a lot of open mided people. :)
I like Devons face during the explaination.
Devon Larratt the best
As a Massage Therapist, taking DT's Body Tempering course is on my bucket list. Hopefully he's do another one at Kabuki in Portland.
So you know this is a nock off of Dr. Kelly Starrett work. All these techniques can be found in his book "Becoming a Supple Leopard" already in it's 2nd edition.
@@jimminykricket4067 thought they looked familiar. Haven't read that book in a long time.
Man, I need this on my upper back!!
It's been a year since this video was uploaded, it's crazy how different Devon looks now than he did in this video.
This is really interesting because it's playing very close to current practice in physical therapy. I could have used this on my legs after some mean workouts during physical therapy.
Donny has been doing this for ages.
This has literally no scientific evidence to support its efficacy. Common sense tells you this is nonsense (Orthopedic PT and exercise physiologist here).
if you can’t extent your elbows, it looks painful. I had it. I did 1 year of tricep training only, and that cured my elbows. Feels like your olecranon joint keeps on growing, so you can’t stretch your elbows anymore.
This was great. Thank you
As someone that does bodywork: I'm a huge fan of body tempering. There are so many tools within that game and the systems are just complex enough; the special thing about all that weight is that it literally forces fluids through the fascia, ligament tendon and muscle body and skin. It really helps expose the elasticity that the joints may or may not have. And when you mix modalities like the flossing and tempering you get these really awesome adaptions. It's also really interesting getting young athletes that didn't care about the names of the muscles until suddenly they can feel the insertion point of the brachial radialis for an especially grizzly place between the lumbar and thoracic. Donnie mentioned his parents sleeping better. Woman with cptsd not able to get out of fight or flight for years did the lower back body tempering: when she got up to put on her shoes she just laid down on my sofa and fell asleep for 20 minutes. Being able to tap into the nervous system I've used expensive devices but nothing really does it to get deep into the back and release something you've been holding for years and not knowing it the way the body tempering does. Not for everyone but definitely the muscly, big and arthritic athletes it's as big of game changers as I've ever used.
What are your thoughts on this versus just regular solo foam rolling?
@@DefeatLust @JoMomma239 not too long ago there was kind of a trend in everyone going against foam rolling. I won't go that far to say that it's useless but it sure isn't as body tempering. Has a body worker it is difficult to get people to buy into the idea of the pain that they will probably have to get into in the soft tissue to really help the problems they are having. To really get body tempering really on point you have to have a second person who has a pretty good idea of how to move the weight. Foam rolling a couple of very specific areas like the IT band and the stomach and the ribs can be super useful especially to get through initial pain. The most success I've had with foam rolling is actually to cut a really dense one in half like you would a sausage down the center and use it to be able to get better positions. I've also seen foam rollers in good places like the low back to be able to create some movement between each one of the spinal columns if you can get into the right position. With a lot of bodyworking modalities it's hard to do true studies because the same area that needs a little bit of mobilization in one person may need stiffining in another person even in the same joint. At the end of the day what they did with the flossing, wrapping the arm, and then using the heavy weight to force blood and other fluids through the fascia ligaments and tendons can be done in 10 minutes. or I could spend an hour and 3 sessions digging my thumbs and fingers in to try to be able to release the origin points and clear out the tissue. You see folks like Dr hightower using his thumbs nearly getting professional athletes who are used to paying nearly in tears. I work with much more general population who sometimes aren't even willing to walk to repattern the work I've done. For the regular weekday CrossFit athlete I would suggest getting yourself a floss band for like 20 bucks, a used lacrosse ball to be able to get in to the armpits and other tender places, a golf ball for the feet to roll those places out, a place to hang to decompress the spine and a good electrolyte to make sure there's enough minerals the hydration gets down deep in the tissues. A foam roller is nice especially to get tricky areas by yourself but it is totally not a panacea the way it was sold in the mid-2000s. My experience with other body workers are that if they do structural integration or rolfing you're going to really get the work you need done. Physical therapists are nice but so many times I have found that they're just clocking in for a paycheck especially if it's on insurance.
@@thetruemorg I read everything you wrote and really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I can tell this is a passion and you know your stuff. That's rare to see. You're spot on about the last sentence. I learned more on my own just researching. I have different size varying hard/soft balls for recovery, but i'll look into floss bands
That tourniquet rolling is garbage and dangerous. You cant completely cut off the bloodflow of your arm like that Jujis hand was turning grey ffs.. risking losing a limb for this is silly
I have this fantasy that one day Devon will go through a huge journey with physical therapy and fully recover the range of motion in his elbows. Watching him straighten his arms would feel soooooo good.
He likely has so much osteoclast development at this point, that position is “straight” for him. The joint is simply structurally different at this point.
Amazing eposide! So much positive ennergy! I love it!!!
Strange comment
I admire guys like these
15:02 Devon said naw brah
My back is a total travesty. Would love to try this.
I work as a big fabrication shop....Im gonna score myself some off-cuts I think^^
It looks exactly like foam rolling. You can get a good foam roller for about $30. Improved my posture and solved my back pain.
My fav duo and collab Juji and Devon
Recently used the Graston technique. It works. This is a different variation & and I am quite fascinated. The basis is creating micro trama to rush more blood in that area for healing. Warning it is painful but well worth it.
Imagine multiply powerlifters calling you the most jacked up athlete they ever saw😱
Due to Devon's chronic over use, he would probable need multiple session of light treatment to get most benefit on his arms.
Good idea to pay attention to the muscles attaching to your skull. A lot of my upper back tension originated from the base and top of the rear-side of my skull. Mine was from an accident thou, not working out.
Devon is like a piece of steel getting folded over and over again into a kitana. This video literally proves it!
This man is just making it up as he goes
