John Brzenk pe northeastboard: " It doesn’t have to be all about money but it has to be important enough to mean something for the cost of doing it. And YES mac you could say I am way past the point of liking the sport to simply continue to establish my spot in the pecking order. Especially if it comes out of the family budget to do so…this is reality. as Neil would say ....END OF. "

John Brzenk poate sa fie si ironic, cand este provocat: " Mr. Telle can I ask a question or two of You ? …Are you at Worlds supporting your team and America right now ? And on a much more serious note … when the bus picks you up for school in the morning. Is it a BIG bus …or a little bus? how long is it going to take you to get good? "

Nu-mi vine sa cred, in ce lume nebuna traim !Vedeta de pe northeastboard, Mac "Stop Sign" Telle a cerut sa i se stearga contul, iar acum unii il vor inapoi... teammaine.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=20621&page=1Bill Cox pe northeastboard: " I thank everyone for their opinion of this topic. Just to set the record straight as to what happened. After I received a dozen pm's all complaining about Mac I sent his a warning that he needs to stop posting the crap and act respectful that he sent me a reply saying that I could delete his account and he was through. So in retrospect Mac banned himself. I was giving him a warning and then would have suspended him for awhile before anything else. So for those that were offended and for those who might think he was picked on you know what happened. " Dar ceea ce nu stie multa lume, este faptul ca John Brzenk nu doar si-a sters contul de pe northeastboard (din cauza acelui mascarici de Mac "Stop Sign" Telle), dar si-a sters si toate mesajele lui de pe acel forum !!!
Cine nu ma crede, poate verifica, forumul SKNX este singurul loc unde mai apare ceea ce a scris Brzenk: www.google.ro/#hl=ro&expIds=17259,17311,24283&xhr=t&q=%22+Mr.+Telle+can+I+ask+a+question+or+two+of+You+%3F+%22&cp=50&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=%22+Mr.+Telle+can+I+ask+a+question+or+two+of+You+%3F+%22&gs_rfai=&pbx=1&fp=1f4c3468c17c221a

Engin Terzi pe northeastboard: " i have 9 real World titles and i would choose another one instead of 1.500 dollars.but again if there is anyone who has nothing to prove then that is John Brzenk and maybe Rustam Babayev as well. i understand people wish John to compete WAF and win but i disagree with anyon who thinks that they have right to disrespect John because of not pullingat WAF. i know armwrestling,trust me.. John has never meant disrespect to athletes who compete WAF when he said "amateur event".he only meant about WAF not having money award by saying "amateur". does anyone doubt the intelligence of John? trust me that he knows very well that the athletes who compete WAF such as Arsen,Pushkar,Ferit,Rustam and Ion have wins over Brzenk in pro events. so let us stop playing this game anymore,Brzenk never disrespected WAF athletes and one can only wish to see John at WAF but has no right disrespect him for not choosing to pull at WAF. Stop Sign started his thread without disrespect and John explained to him his reasons for not participating WAF,but the guy went a bit too far and upset John whom we all respect for his personality and career. come on guys,if anyone deserves utmost respect in this sport then that is John Brzenk.when has he ever been unnice to anyone? i know that people do not have to respect him but this does not give right to anyone to disrespect him either.John had been a member of thi board for at least 6 years and now he is not a member anymore.he is mature enough to not to play games ,so he must have been upset to delete his account. trust me that even his toughest opponents from overseas do not disrespect him but admire him as an "AMERICAN PULLER" (if talking about represanting USA) who has inspired the all armwrestling WORLD.

Sincer , nici mie nu imi place ca Brzenk nu participa la mondiale. Macar la cele de anul asta sa fi participat, doar au fost tinute in SUA, totusi se explica absenta lui prin accidentarile si forma slaba de anul acesta.
Inainte credeam ca nu participa de frica dopingului, dar vad ca sunt si altii care participa:Liliev, Barbosa etc. Insa acu aflu ca el nu participa pt ca nu i se par importante in raport cu costul sau altcva, asta chiar mi se pare o aroganta idioata, sa zici ca un titlu mondial, in orice sport, nu ti se pare atractiv.Nici Ronie O'Sulliven nu era asa arogant si el participa la unele turnee mondiale doar de plictiseala.Si Jan Ove Waldner a refuzat sa participe la un campionat mondial (sau olimpic, nu imi mai amintesc) de tenis de masa, din America, acuzand organizarea foarte slaba, totusi el a continuat cu alte competitii si desi avea titluri olimpice nu spunea ca cele mondiale nu il atrag.Fac analogia aici ca Zloty e un fel de olimpiada, care il atrage pe Brzenk mai mult decat un campionat mondial.

Nu este aroganta... Pentru noi, cei care visam sa obtinem un loc pe podium macar la nationale, reprezinta extrem de mult un titlu de campion european, nu mai vorbesc de un titlu de campion mondial... Dar Brzenk si-a demonstrat ca poate castiga un titlu de campion mondial, iar acum pune in balanta daca are sens sa riste o accidentare, in conditiile in care nu castiga nimic de la mondiale... El nu mai are ce demonstra... Si eu as fi vrut sa-l vad acolo, cred ca toti am fi vrut, dar este alegerea lui... Iar exemplul pe care l-ai dat tu, cu Ronnie O'Sullivan, nu consider ca este bun, deoarece el in primul rand a facut deja foarte multi bani din snooker, si in al doilea rand sansele de a te accidenta jucand snooker sunt destul de scazute...

Un articol scris in 2006, imediat dupa ce Brzenk a castigat la Boomtown (primul filmulet din acest topic).Brzenk: The Best in Boomtown" That legendary arm wrestler John Brzenk won both the 199 -242-pound and +243-pound classes in Boomtown last night isn't surprising, but the king of the table, who sports an an unreal looking forearm, said that he might be taking a shot at getting certified on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper. Legendary arm wrestler John Brzenk demonstrates one of his gripper training techniques with a brand new No. 1.5 Captains of Crush® Gripper. Look at the Brzenk forearm, which had just mowed down all comers at the International Tournament of Champions at the Boomtown Casino and Hotel. IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. photo. Arm wrestling and grip training go together like ham and eggs, and while John Brzenk has regularly trained on Captains of Crush® Grippers and was one of the first guys to latch onto IM TUG®s, last night he made it clear that he might be ramping up his grip training. John told IronMind®'s Randall Strossen that he has enjoyed meeting more grip guys because so many of them are also interested in arm wrestling and, he said, he might be getting more serious about his own grip training . . . and going for his certification on the No. 3 Captains of Crush® Gripper. John Brzenk said that one of the things he likes to include as part of his gripper training is a movement that combines an arm wrestling position with closing the gripper - something he demonstrated with a No. 1.5 Captains of Crush® Gripper. Arm wrestling prowess and grip strength aside, the Breznk lower arm is one of the wonders of the world - train hard and maybe you too will leave Popeye looking frail. Besides John Brzenk, the other winners in the men's pro right division were: Roger Nowatske (0 - 154 pounds), Cobra Rhodes (155 - 176 pounds), and Bryan Johnson (177 - 198 pounds). On the women's side, Tamara Mitts won the 0 - 143 pound category and Renee Mahoney won the ladies +144-lb. category. " Sursa: www.ironmind.com/ironmind/opencms/Articles/2006/Nov/Brzenk_The_Best_in_Boomtown.html======================== Dar in alte zeci de articole, este scris acest lucru (nu stiu care a fost primul): A friend of his said that in his prime he was very close to closing the Captains of Crush Grippers #3 gripper. John says that now he is "nowhere near closing it". He trains with grippers and says that "I have a gripper in my car and when i am driving i try to make between 200 and 240 reps as fast as possible". Sursa: www.thefitexpo.com/bios2011/john_brzenk.asp
