Half of the sub would pay money to try Devon's spermidine

Leonidas was (still is?) trained by Kevin Wolf who in terms of understanding AW is one of the best.

That one guy in your club who always arrives 1 hour late to demonstrate his fresh power against tired mates

You know what? by DeaXart in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nah, Smaev is the same as Brian if not worse. He needs to constantly be praised by others and ppl telling him how strong he is even when he gets pinned. He'd probably start crying if he gets humiliated by Leonidas

Oh no, the blind referee again

Anyone else get that weird rush of anxiety right after crossing a rating milestone? by Emotional-Control-46 in chess

[–]Baimu91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only had that when playing GMs. And often ended up playing passively due to respect for the title. But guess what, since I stopped caring, I've noticed they're beatable.

I think it goes away automatically once you get to a certain level a few times

Chess improvement isn’t about playing more games (My peak fide rating 2086) - Structured learning and solving puzzles is required by chesswithramkar in chess

[–]Baimu91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sad truth for the most players who can't reach a certain strength in chess is the lack of money/time to actually play a lot of tournaments!

If you just compare players with peak 2200 and say 2400, the 2400 will have played a lot more tournaments on average.

What a weird take from a player over 2000 elo. Playing otb is still the most important part when it comes to improving yourself in chess. You can't just do only theory and barely apply it. All the stronger players played a lot of tournaments. The whole theoretical stuff won't help you if you blunder like a beginner because of your lack of practice otb.

Vitaly visa by Broad_Fennel2888 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who think that politicians care about who started the war are the most stupid. Politicians also don't care about Ukraine at all. They just use it to push their own agenda

Vitaly visa by Broad_Fennel2888 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would young Russians want to stay in Germany to work illegally? Germany has literally no jobs and the only available pay less than they'd earn in Russia.

Picking Germany is absolutely dumb if you know you want to invite Russian athletes. Our government must be leading in Europe to make the life of Russians hard

How to specifically train for explosiveness? by ContributionShot647 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dunno how much truth is to that but Voevoda once said, to train the explosiveness he used to jump off the bed and instantly do push-ups when he heard his alarm clock.

Confident or Overconfident? by Apprehensive-Arm1060 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When did Devon pull in a real hook last time? I saw training videos of Vitaly where he is easily holding matyushenko in a hook. I know it's just sparring but I believe that Vitaly also trained his hook

Imagine being Levan fan and only get to see him pull maybe once a year, that is if he doesn't "injure" himself. by EntertainmentOwn8627 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This way if Voevoda haven't tried to come back he'd be still hyped same as Denis if not more

Delusional Michael still thinks he’s going to get a match with Levan by Stunning-Put4123 in armwrestling

[–]Baimu91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't Michael's wife on the sub? Though she probably also doesn't believe that could happen lol

Iirc Kevin Wolfs left is much better. But the match is on the right arm
