Devon Larratt Workout

In 2018, ahead of WAL championships, Devon Larratt made a special appearance on NBA on TNT episode hosted by Shaquille O’Neal, Ernie Johnson Jr, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

During the episode, Larratt and Shaq went off at each other, but despite having the weight and size advantage, he was no match for the Canadian. When asked by Shaq, the secret to his dominance, he simply pointed at his pronator teres, a muscle located just below the elbow.

“The pronator is really what starts to set arm wrestlers apart,” Larratt told MensHealth.com in an interview. “It’s your best sword, your best weapon. I can say with 100 percent conviction—you can train your forearms every day, multiple times a day and get fantastic gains.”
