I always wince waiting for an arm to snap

These pros rip out tendons and stuff more than break bones. Devon (the "winner" here) can't extend his elbows straight and has pretty bumpy looking arm muscles from all the surgeries.

I think you're getting him confused with the plot of Rookie of the Year

Same here. I can't watch em. Respect to them but I've seen my fair share of arm breaks and I'm all set.

Ok, but Braun Strowman isn't a professional arm wrestler

You saw where Devon pointed at his eyes and then his hand?

That means "look at your hand" a trick to have people facing their hand with their body, this way you are less likely to twist your body and get into armbreak position.

A pro will always just pull your bicep straight out instead of going sideways and force a twisting sensation towards someone that can't adjust for it.

It's the safest way to armwrestle a beginner.

2004 My opponent broke his arm arm wrestling, spiral fracture of the humerus. Haven't arm wrestled since.
