The Rise and Fall of Alexey Voevoda

One of the most enigmatic figures in Eastern armwrestling. Alexey Voevoda (Алексей воевода) once stood at the peak of professional arm wrestling but seems to have disappeared from the scene.
How did he become the cult figure he is today and where is he now?

His training clips in pulling Jhon was just legendary

[Rackkksssss]

Damm Alexy story is like a legendary story of a warrior 🔥

[dqreps]

Great vid once again man! I wish that Alexey never stopped. Just imagine how good he could have become. He was so young when he retired. Barely scratching the surface of his potential. Definitely parallels between him and the young Lou Ferrigno in this regard. Unfinished potential indeed. But at least we got to witness a portion of his greatness.

It is really cool how well structured these vids are. Your care is greatly appreciated.

This dude is a legit legend! Such a gifted athlete and also an Olympian! In a sport where athletes can compete at an elite level into their 50's...Can only imagine how dominant Alexey would be if he were still competing today!

Yet another great video! I loved Veovoda and somehow I always wanted him to come back, specially now when armwrestling is becoming a bigger sport. His power really inspired me when I was younger and even nowadays. Watching his old training video just gives me a lot of hype for my next workout xD

A near cult like figure in our armwrestling community, this guy had quite a life! Really interesting to research.
What are your thoughts on Alexey Voevoda?

[Blackhand]

Man, your vids are always so good. I hope your channel starts to pop soon.

[LuciferMorningstarOfficial]

I thought Devon Larratt was an entertaining charakter, but DAMN - Voevoda is a fckng multitalent and omnipresent in Russia!!! Hats off to this guy!

[Troy_bouncefit]

Hope this legend comes back! Great content brother keep em coming!!

[cybr_pyr]

Yo, am kinda late, but i just wanted to say that your videos are inspiring and very entertaining. I watched all of your recent videos and think that this style of documentary about a topic that i am very interested (arm wrestling) in is very rare. Love your content brother

[jokelot]

My favorite armwrestler and athlete. Sporting rolemodel for me.

[craigcochrane]

The photo used at 17:00 is absolutely hilarious. Surely that must be Alexey's Christmas Card to John Brzenk every year.

[aw-daf]

Great puller to watch he never quit 🔥 Good video mate 👏

[senfdaddy]

Great video. Voevoda is one of the reasons I got into Arm-wrestling. Thanks for the content.

Great content as always Arm Historian, you set the bar very high!
What's even better is that we have been left with some hope that Voevoda may actually make a come back, what a time for the sport! See you in the next one buddy.
