why arent there alot of Gidner vids on youtube. He was second best behind Voevoda, hes beaten Todd, Bagent, Brzenk, Semerenko yet not alot of vids out there.
@eenho Just because you like Voevoda and maybe not Bagent so much, doesn't mean you should disregard the fact that Bagent is left handed, competing against the best right handed arm wrestlers at that time.
From a few years back, maybe the late 1980's someone who could have been interesting in this sport was Terry Szopinski who wrestled as The Warlord. He looked like a mix of power lifter/body builder and may have needed other specific training but I believe he would have moved to the upper ranks he had attempted it in fact 1 of strongest men ever in pro wrestling Jim Williams a bench press specialist long ago was good at A.W. but lost to who was it---Roy Ridgely (sp?) who was beyond great.
@Kadagis7000 The easiest way people break arms is by not using body and arm as one muscle. trying to beat someone by just rotating your arm with about leaning with body will result in one thing BREAK
let's not make excuses for Brzenk...he lost because he lost..obviously Girdner was probably just as tired as Brzenk, considereing they were all facing the same people
that is not the case. Everyone is paired randomly at first, and those wins and loses by whoever dictates who they go up against next. Brzenk could have been paired w/ semerenko or other good pullers, while girdner might have pulled someone like ivakin, if open class OR NOT. You should shove your comments elsewhere nizmo!
well, if we go by what you said, then it's a tossup, for all we know Girdner faced tougher opponents...don't take recognition away from Girdner, he didn't win because he got lucky he won because he dedicated enough time and training to do so...I don't know if you know, but Brzenk is a great sportsman and has upmost dignity, when it comes to him losing, he doesn't make excuses for himself, so neither should you...
Maybe you are right-girdner could have won for those reasons, but who does know for sure how the match would have turned out if they both were paired first. Girdner might just have won still, absolutely. I don't doubt this or disagree with you.
not to mention he beat bath like brzenk beat bath like he wasnt there... bath is one of the best pullers in the world.... but everyone looses... some days you have bad days.
dont be a cock fag and realize no one thinks that brzenk is god. however ask any of the gentlemen you see on that video who the best in the world is and without hesitation they will say JOHN BRZENK!!!!
i dont know what you think about it... i respect your opinion enought now that i have had a few debates with you. i but id like to see john brzenk VS. alexy voevoda again. I think that brzenk is to smart to lose to him again. what do you think?

@kizzyfur - I love Bagent cause he's probably the most entertaining puller out there. It was just a comment

Saying they're using "body weight" isnt really the correct way to state it. More like "body POSITION".

Amazing win for Ron, beating Taras. I mean, it looked like Taras had him. Must have been an elbow foul on that first match between them I take it?

That is crap, arm wrestling by holding a bar and using bodyweight? That's cheating basically.

Except Travis Bagent, he will say he is. Alexey Voevoda was the best right handed at the time but would probably admit that Brzenk is the best ever.
