Devon Larrat vs Levan Saginasvili - Who is Stronger?
Devon Larratt and Levan Saginashvili are one of the strongest armwrestlers on the planet - each in their own time period (different time periods. But today we will not discuss their victorious fights and champion titles, but their strength indicators in heavy strength exercises, which, as we know, are very important and necessary in the preparation of arm wrestling.
Devon Larratt has an impressive total weight of 108 - 110 kg and good muscle mass with a height of 196 cm and an arm girth of 43 cm. Levan has an incredible weight of 180 kg with a height of 182 cm and an arms girth of 58 cm. Some of you will think, Alex but they are in different weight categories, how can they be compared. But let's not forget they have fought face to face in arm wrestling more than once, and we can compare their strength also in relation to the weight of each. We will compare the strength results in the 4 most basic movements, which will give an idea of the overall strength of each athlete.
And let's start with such a popular exercise in the preparation of armwrestlers as a standing Single Arm Bicep Curl on a bench or a desk. And here you are in for a big surprise. The most popular video on Devon Larratt's channel is with this exercise. Dumbbell weight - 81 kg, for 1 time. At that time it was a phenomenal result. According to Devon, the main part of his training was occupied by work on the arm table, working out strength and skills in arm - wrestling, sparring from 2 to 7 times a week, and spends the rest of the time on strength exercises.
In the next exercise, let's compare the barbell curl for both. I was lucky enough to find a video of Devon doing a strict barbell curl. In this video, at a competition with Larry Wheels, he did a clean biceps curl with a weight of 70 kg. In my opinion, he still had (remained) a reserve of strength and he could do with a weight of 80 kg, but for some reason he refused to participate further. Now, Levan Saginashvili. Get ready. Now you will be in a huge shock. I did not find a video in which Levan does a strict barbell curl, but I found this video where he did135 kg for 1 rep in a sitting barbell curl. Also in the video of the famous Russian athlete Kiril Sarychev in his 1 Rep Show - Levan did 1 repetition with a barbell weighing 140 kg.
Next, we will take the third powerful exercise - and this is a flat barbell bench press. Of course, it's not that far of a move to compare the strength of athletes here, especially given the weight of the athletes. The best result that I could find with Devon Lavrat is Date: 2023-05-25
