At 48, Devon Larratt is no ordinary arm wrestler. With a physique that could bring any bodybuilder to shame, Larratt has his fans in the fitness community as well. Standing tall at 6 feet 5 inches and weighing in at 225 pounds, he’s earned the nickname “No Limits” for good reason.

Hailing from the serene landscapes of Big Island, Ontario, Larratt’s fascination with arm wrestling began early. Amidst the farms and forests, he discovered the thrill of channeling raw power and intensity into the sport. But it wasn’t just brute strength that propelled him to success; it was a mastery of technique honed through years of hard labor and competition.

Even as he embarked on a career in the Canadian Armed Forces, Larratt continued to dominate the arm wrestling circuit. With a record of 34 wins and just 4 losses, his favorite technique, the “Bleed and Adapt” Toproll, became legendary.
