BABAYEV$$$

[Bad Draw Rhodes]

Is it true that this sportsman is a machine?
" " unbeatable?
Please someone anyone PLLLLLEEEAAZZZ.
John B. is in my eyes the most outstanding overall armwrestler that I have witnessed. I have heard from pullers that he was VERY impressed by what Senor Babayev had to offer at ZLOTY.......What competitor in the world under 90kl. can compete with this man Speak now or forever hold your piece. Can Kevin B, Kenny H.,Craig T.,Crazy G............Who would challenge this man for say maybe $10,000.00 or more..WHO???

[Andy 'wiSë™' Barker]

I'd love to take the challenge... I'd just need a year or two...

In the meantime, I'll put $10,000.00 on an in-form back-healed bad-ass Snake mo-fo, to flip the wrist of 'senór machine' like a silver dollar! ;D

Not seen Rustam in action, but the results he has pulled of, certainly are impressive... but unbeatable... Give Tsvetan a while to figure him out to.

Rumour has it he may pull 80Kg in S.Africa - crap better raise $10k!

[Bad Draw Rhodes]

Come on wheres all the bad asses?

[Andy 'wiSë™' Barker]

watch and wait shamone... bad asses grow in freak shops...

Not to sound disrespectful or owt cobra, but I've had a real tuff week... so how's about me's n u's for ten grand?

Let's get it on!



From a 'not so bad ass' - but very wise, tired, narky n pissed of mo-fo.

get back pullin Mr.Rhodes

After seeing Babayev at Zloty Tur I think that Maxim Maximov is the only one under 90 kg that MIGHT have a chance to beat him. (but probably not)

Babayev beat some really good guys at the practise table, weighing much more than himself.

[brzenk]

For Ten Grand I’ll lose weight to 90 kg and give him a go.
It’s got to be healthier than gaining weight and trying to catch up to Voevoda.

Although it would have been nice to hook up with him first….hell if he can beat me at 209 no sense losing weight….

Mr. Barker,
I must accept your challenge. John B. scary at 90kilos

[enginterzi]

there are more guys under 90kg that could beat Rustam for sure.he s 80kg not 90.
Artem Klimenko can beat him,Taras can beat him,Fadzinov can beat him,but again,he s not 90kg!
if there s anybody under 80kg and can beat him,then i will have the greatest shock in my entire armwrestling life.

[enginterzi]

Cobra,i will meet him again but i need to gain 20pounds to be at around his weight.i will armwrestle his brother in Poland on january 29. for a pro match 6 times(according to Igor).his brother(according to Rustam) is doing 90kg bicep curl.there was a Russian at the last Europeans in Poland.this guy was the only one that stopped Rustam and gave him near 20seconds of match.the interesting thing was that his brother Ruslan had two of one minute dog fights against the same Russian in the junior class only two days before the senior matches.so the young Russian wasnt fresh at all when he met Rustam ,and he wasnt any better than Ruslan.so im worried about the younger Babaev first:).he is around 18 and getting real strong day by day.if i beat him then Gashevski,and if i beat him too it will be Rustam's turn.on my eyes Rustam s not beatable at his class right now.good luck Andy

Charlie,who were the guys that you saw Rustam was pulling after the event?

[Charlie Minell]

Taras and Klimenko can of course beat him! ;D
I meant -85 kg but wrote -90 by mistake because Snakeface said -90.

I will e-mail you about those guys, Engin. Doesn't feel right to write it out here.

[Scott Latella]

Ok .. I'll ask. Just how are some of these guys getting soooooo strong? It takes me months and years to gain 5%.. What am I missing.

[Christopher Myers]

Scott,

that really was a rhetorical question right?

Christopher Myers

[enginterzi]

Charlie you are right,i shouldnt have asked you to publish it front of everyone.i guess i asked about it because i dont really care what happens after the tourny on the practice table.i am just curious how good he is compare to heavy guys.

Scott,i dont know how old you are,im 30 years old.what im trying to say s that i cant get stronger even 5% either after certain age.i must admit that my strength s even reducing compare to my younger times.im lifting the same weights that i was lifting when i was much lighter.at those years my joints were so healthy that when i push them i wasnt feeling any pain.we all have limits of ourselves.those young eastern Europeans have taken armwrestling more seriously than most of the armwrestlers around the world.they dont see it as a weekend fun,or spending good time and just doing their best.
when our bodies young and healthy its easier to have improvements.esspecially we have the highest amounts of growth hormone in our body while we are still growing,extra testosteron by needles is making these improvements much faster.
about Babaev, i still cant understand his strenght.i was even more amazed when i saw how strong his brother with small arms but steel joints.people who have seen Rustam know that he has very tiny wrist without any muscle but has incredible wrist and fingers strenght.his forearm,bicep and tricep sizes are not very big either.only thing that amazes me by looking at him is his very huge back.when i read that he s doing 176pound(80kg)one hand bicep curl,this s killing my hopes about beating him again.i dont wanna believe the amount of the weight that he lifts but his results are proving his words.the other day i was doing bicep curl with 43kg (only two reps:) )and i just got discouraged by remembering the differences of the amounts.i know that the amount of the weights that we lift is not everything in armwrestling but when both of the armwrestler have close level of quality, then 100% of difference of arm strenght matters.
the last thing to say is that im totally sure that there are many athletes who would perform much! weaker than their best in the same year if you let them compete 10 different times in same year.its like this.for ex;Ukranian nationals was on may 10., europeans was at the end of june,and Rustam pulled Gashevski for vandetta two weeks after europeans.so all happenned in two months.Zloty was gonna happen at the end of fall but cancelled and moved to beginning of november because its too long time to be on ...........and now,zloty happened on november 6. that s 20 days before the worlds that will be on november 20-28,and then there will be a proleague in Bulgaria on december 18. that s 20 days after the worlds.again all happens in less than two months to perform at the highest level,and again 2. cure is less than 3 months this time.one pro performance before and one pro performance is after the great events as worlds and europeans:).its not accussing,but truth.

[Olin Lucas]

HAHAHAHAHA Engin you are killing me. You are definately speaking the truth. When you put 2 and 2 together then you finally see the he is possibly on top of his game at those two times of the year. I wonder what he is doing the rest of the time.

[Yuval Bar]

I don't believe that a man that weight 75-80 kg can do one hand curl with 80 kg with two maybe. If engin lift 43kg and he is one of the best in this weight.I believe that u can do more but not but this far. Even with
Illegal supplements maybe 50-55kg one hand
I use to practice 3 times a weak for 2 hrs on a table
With 12 guys for couple of years all of them was in world class
3 of them world's champions.
We use to lift 43 kg 1-2 times it was very difficult
We can't go much more behind that weight. To pull let say 5-10 kgs u must be a genetics freak or use illegal supplements
