World Champion Arm Wrestler Trains Right Arm Only to Maximize Performance

What was said

"I put everything into the right. I don't do wrist curls or anything with my left hand. Nothing. I think we only have so much energy. If I tell my body that my energy goes here, more of it will go there and more development will happen."

Devon Larratt applies 'pumpkin training' theory—allocating 85-90% of training volume exclusively to his right arm while leaving his left virtually untrained. He models this approach after giant pumpkin growers who pinch off all flowers except one. The strategy has created a visible size disparity between his arms but maintains his number-two world ranking at age 51.
