” Arsen Liliev: “You must be strong enough to not think about how to fight your opponent”
Arsene Liliev – multiple champion of Russia, Europe and the World armsportu absolute winner for armsportu A1. For two years the athlete was disqualified, and this year in June, ends up being punished. Interest in Arsene did not cease all this time, we were interested in an athlete on its activities a year ago (http://ironworld.ru/articles/11771/). In connection with the termination of punishment “Iron World” interviewed Arsene where the athlete shared my thoughts on returning to Arm wrestling, spoke about how he sees the situation armsport development at the moment. Get honest, frank interview. As always, Arsene is not afraid to speak their minds!
IRON WORLD: Arsene, tell me whether you are doing it all the time armsportu, trained you?
Arsen Liliev: By armsportu two years spent five workouts. All the while engaged in business, I realize myself in a completely different field, not in the sport. I maximalist in life! Therefore, if something is done, is done with maximum quality, I try to achieve the best result. Devote all his time to the cause. Time for training did not exist. In short, make money.J. M .: Does this mean that you do not come back in the arm sport?
AL .: Training resumed two weeks ago. In principle, two years without training form I still quite good. Managed to keep the basic weight below a certain minimum fell. The final decision on the resumption of sports career did not take. Again, not enough time to exercise, and if returned, then returned the same Liliev.J. M .: If you are still “sozreesh” return, accept the participation in the tournament A1, which will take you back home – in Vladikavkaz? How do you evaluate the athletes who participated in this tournament last year?
A. L .: If A1 tournament was held in a different city, you will not be performed 100%. And so all kept asking if I would fight. But at the same time make the house – a great responsibility. Here I am the champion! Very scary do not meet the expectations of fans. But if you still decide to act, it will be bad for everyone. In principle, except Chaffee composition painfully familiar, fought and won at all. Therefore, the training will be as always. As when he was a child, the absolute champion Ruslan armsportu Kokoyev told me: “You must be strong enough to not think about how to fight your opponent!”. In general, as soon as he stopped fighting, training of other athletes did not even think.——–
In conclusion I would like to say a few words about the state of the Russian armsport. The results of the Russian championship this year, sad! We dip generation. Go Zoloeva brothers, Ivan Matyushenko fight finishes, and we get a Russian team without a leader in the men’s team. Perhaps only Cherkasov may show consistently high results. And given that this year will be back many athletes disqualified, the picture is not happy. In my time in the Russian team was guaranteed 4-5 gold medals, and now first numbers are candidates for master of sports, which limit – 6-7-th place. Pleases only Alexander Filimonov, the president of our association armsport which leaps and bounds moving arm sport in the Paralympic Games. We wish him good luck and success!
We, in turn, we hope that Arsene will return to the arm sport to shake up the situation, to fight the champions of the two years that he was away.

In the beginning of the show, Craig Soubliere talks with Brandon Dye who broke his humerus bone via spiral fracture in 2012 and severely injured his radial nerve. If you want to follow Brandon Dye’s arm break and recovery story read these topics from northeastboard: Military Forced Retirement (14 May 2012), Help-Radial Nerve Palsy (30 May 2012), Broke Arm Update (10 July 2012), 2013 IM BACK! (3 January 2013).
Starting at 12:15, “Toddzilla” Todd Hutchings enters the show. He talks about A1 Russian Open 2014, UAL 8 – Ultimate Armwrestling League, WAL Chicago – 23 August 2014 and about the rehab after a tournament.
Because he competed in both, Toddzilla explains what are the differences between UAL – Ultimate Armwrestling League and WAL – World Armwrestling League.
From 24:00 Toddzilla talks about how he started armwrestling and about his background in armwrestling. He started armwrestling in Michigan with Karen Bean and Frank Bean’s organization AAA – American Armsport Association. He then spent about a year pulling local bars, local armwrestling tournaments all for trophies and such. And after about a year he got his first taste of what a truly national level puller feels like, when he pulled both Bill Ballinger and James Horne in a tournament. Back then his only goal in his life was just to win the Michigan State Championships. James Horne won like 6 classes then and Bill Ballinger won the rest of them, nobody was touching these guys.
Then Todd lost his job, he worked in the automotive industry, and he went to South Carolina for 10 years, and then he started touching the national level pullers and the world level pullers. There was an actual camp that had a dedicated training philosophy, the philosophy that no one else had, it was their own, it was South Carolina style practice and there he learned a lot.
After South Carolina, he spent 5 years in Utah with John Brzenk, Bob Brown and Kevin Bongard and other armwrestlers from Utah. And according to Toddzilla the most amazing thing about Utah is that even in some small tournaments for people who pull once a year, everybody knows who to armwrestle, to toproll, hook, press. Jordan Sill, Justin Green are there in Utah a lot of really good guys are there, just hovering, according to Todd Hutchings it’s easy to get up to the national level capability in about 5 years, but to make that jump up to the world level, that 5-6% takes years to develop and you never know when it’s gonna happen. There are a lot of armwrestlers in Utah ready to do that.
Now he lost his job again, and he is in Arizona (with a new job), John Brzenk came there also and they train at Eric Wolfe‘s house. According to Toddzilla Craig Soubliere has to talk with Eric Wolfe on his Arm Wrestling Nation Radio, because Eric has a garage if anybody ever conceived, thought of, mentioned, drawn or yet to have thought of an armwrestling training contraption machine or device Eric has it. 🙂
From 28:10 Toddzilla talks about his training off the table, because John Brzenk and other armwrestlers are 3,5-4 hours driving away from him in Arizona. His training strategies didn’t really change in his last 14 years. When Shawn Lattimer started armwrestling after his records from powerlifting, Toddzilla connected with him on linkedin, “which is facebook for nerds” – Toddzilla’s words. 🙂
I wrote only about a small part of the show, there are many other interesting topics, please listen to the recorded show below.

John R Brzenk ► Armwrestling John – Engin:
The reality for both MT and Devon competing in an open event is the fact that a lot of their matches take a lot of time to win.
This doesn’t increase your chances for following rounds against people that may be fresh.
I think they both recognize this possibility … Not sure why no one else does
i also think Dwvon is still in the rebuilding phase after surgery … Trust me when I say this takes a very long time and there is a possibility that he will never be the guy everyone remembers !
You can add … John Brzenk and Todd Hutchings to this A 1 list !
See you in Moscow !!!!
John R Brzenk ► Armwrestling John – Engin:
In certain areas Yes Todd is as strong if not stronger than I am.
He is a very dangerous puller that in my opinion can pull power to power with anyone in the world right now.
