I want to see Michael Todd vs Levan out of pure interest. Not because I think Michael has any chance of winning that match but because at this point it's interesting and fun to just see how much trouble each athlete can bring against Levan, if he can even put a slight stop over the pin pad. That being said, I'm definitely rooting for Ermes.
He has a good chance relative to everyone else minus maybe vitali,ermes. Especially at this rate. By the time it happened if he beats ermes hes going to be in insane shape
MMT vs Ermes is VERY INTERESTING becasuse they're both training Devon's lifts, basically whoever wins this match will prove their technique is superior
I was thinking kind of the same thing. I am rooting for Ermes, but I kinda want to see Levan end MMTs delusions. Levan would stretch that bicep to the max and then can opener his wrist, so the knuckles touch the pad.
Me too, out of pure curiosity on how Levan would do against MMT under the table technique, it really took kvikvinia out of the match doing that, like gas him out and win.
Ermes looking leaner and fitter than he has been after a while this is a healthy size for him, no fat head or neck or puffiness, he should keep this size
Bone lock lift. His are is basically a teeter totter. With MMT, all he has to do is pivot around his elbow. This is why his humerous is so far off being perpendicular to the ground. Ermes is right.
Yes, however it’s still not the same lift as Devon’s so not really directly comparable. But I agree he does an angle that is good for him. Just call it the michael Todd lift not the Devon lift.
@@KenpachiAjax 1. I referred to his lifts when I said that about being strong. 2. Obviously, the kings takes strength too. If you are weak, like Michael was before, you cant access the kings move and you'll lose, but you keep on hating it doesnt matter. What matters is winning, which Michael did.
I think that particular style of rising lift is very helpfull in a dragging style open arm toproll, or kingsmove, probably not precise for a high posting, maybe for that reason Ermes doesnt approve that lift
Todd is a beast...Ermes won't be having any leverage advantage like Devon on Michael Todd, that's why this match is not going to be one sided as people think
@ I didn’t comment anything on the armers specifically, hence you have no hint or clue that you could judge my Iq by brah :) thanks for following tho, appreciate it
I'm suprised with the way that MT does this workout. He starts with his elbow past his thigh, but instead of shifting the weight up from there, he shifts his elbow onto his thigh
One last try: I have been a Devon „Fan“ since 2019 I think at least. But since ~1 year maybe so much crap behaviour, Trashtalk is more cringe and low level than funny or creative (you mentioned as well his TrashTalk was way better in past) and now recently, I guess you saw it in the KOTT13 Press Conference (during Eddie and Brian talk) the comment he made was so distasteful and disgusting (it was edited out even) I don‘t feel good anymore to support this behaviour. No one could say something like that in AW and not face consequences, no one in any sport really. I know it is hard for you to make a video about it or mention it in a Video, but maybe you can let me know your opinion in a comment here? How can Engin and co allow this? Would appreciate your opinion!
It doesn't matter. He doesn't have the strength in other areas to defeat guys like Ermes or Levan. I'm rooting for him though and hope he proves me wrong! He is America's last hope for the World Title!
Mmt is gunna hurt his riser with it dumping nd rolling his wrist out on those lifts. When he tried to do pronation engaged side pressure w a strap on a pulley he barely cld pronate it nd struggled with 115lbs iirc. Imo his pronation shld def hold up to that easily if hes truly doing the other devon lift correctly but his wrist rolls everytime. I see an injury or ermes smoking that wrist in the forecast
I don't see any possibility of michael beating ermes. There's no way he can go though that press of ermes moreover ermes hand control is much better than before
I'm okay with the fact, that Michael todd lifting the same or more weight, but he doesn't even do the lift with the same form when you compared the two of them, even with the slow motion you can see that, so i don't know about that.
Everyone saying MMT is using a "bone lock" couldnt be more wrong. His arm extends much straighter when hes standing, its not a "bone lock" the human arm can't "lock" at those angles.
I hear what ermes is saying about the bone lock, but the thing is I don't think you can really call it that anymore with him because Michael got all that bone removed.. and I do think that he said the surgeon said that someday you might need to come back and get a complete and totally new elbow surgery because there's still some other work to do but he removed all of that big chunk of coral reef like bone that was there, sawing his tendon off. So i don't think it's really the bone lock anymore. It's mostly his muscle.
Nope if you watch Michaels video after or the day got a surgery somewhere around there...... He says that they removed the part to make his friends of motion better but he still has the part that keeps his arm from opening all the way. So he still has the bone lot going down but nothing blocking it going up. West by the way it's the same thing that Devin did when he got his he said he got about a cup of bone cut out but you can see his arm still won't straightened
@@1Mannco it does matter. Because Devon's pronation lift completely translates to the table with the kickback pronation technique. MMT lift didn't work very well against Genadi. Genadi was still able to climb and press, and Ermes is much more better than Genadi at doing that
Ive done this lift plenty. The more speed you come off the floor the easier. He hits the new lift with speed. Never holds the weight for a second. Also his elbow continuously moves up his leg on the new lift. Not stronger just different form. Speed and leverage can help you cheat this lift a ton
The only thing that matters in the pronation lift is that the forearm is perpendicular to gravity. Doesn’t matter where the bicep is bc ur trying to get the pronator not the bicep
Yeah it doesn’t matter wether I rest my elbow on my knee or not, wether I stay at 90 degrees or not it’s hitting the pronator pretty much the same I don’t rlly get peoples fuss over the elbow and arm angle like they need to do the lift themselves and they’ll see
@ wait. I’m saying the forearm must be parallel to the floor thus perpendicular to gravity so the angle at which the bicep is to the forearm doesn’t matter. What I’m not saying is that the angle of the forearm doesn’t matter bc it does.
@tomber7411 no Ik what ur saying long as ur forearm is parallel yeah but there’s ways u can do it without being 90 degrees and ways u can o it with ur elbow on ur knee people make a big fuss over it but it doesn’t change the pressure it’s putting on the pronator so those things really don’t matter long as ur parallel
if you guys think that Michael has a chance against the Italian gladiator, who by the way will one day be coming for Levan, then you have no idea what you're in for
That was not a good lift even by michaels standards his arm went past being level with the ground and he just drags the weight up diagonally by getting his thigh higher while getting his elbow on his thigh. But if he did the same form as he usually does he would still be stronger we can all tell.
calling these numbers MMT gets in his lifts world records is so useless. Nobody on the planet does the same lifts as MMT. He does them in his own style. I don't get how people can't see that these lifts work completely differently than the the way ermes or devon lift
This is a mismatch. Ermes hold levan Ermes beat Vitaly. Ermes is on another level. Michael is coming back from injury I'm pretty sure he is not even in his 2018 prime shape. Ermes 5-1 100%
Arm-wrestling in South East Asia or East Asia is simply just boring. For example, the average Indian male has lower grip strength than the average white (European) woman. What's the point? It's simply just not interesting. Chinese, Korean or Japanese pullers might be different but the region as a whole is not impressive when it comes to physical power.
With how dominant levan is, the way ermes stopped levan multiple times with that back pressure is actually
Mind blowing.
It’s insane to lift this weight in this lift, even with bad form. 180 lbs in one hand like this is unreal strength.

Michael Todd trains like he pulls. He doesn't pull at 90 degrees. Thank you come again!
Yes, however it’s still not the same lift as Devon’s so not really directly comparable. But I agree he does an angle that is good for him. Just call it the michael Todd lift not the Devon lift.
Even Levan had problems with Ermes. He has since become much stronger, Todd has no chance against him.
Michael Todd has an answer for the flop press though
specifically prepared ermes is absolute weapon
That’s not how it works.
Michael impresses me so much. He used to be down in the dirt, losing to basically everyone, now he's beaten Genadi and shows tremendous strength.
That was not strength. That was kings move. Genadi showed strength.
@@KenpachiAjax 1. I referred to his lifts when I said that about being strong. 2. Obviously, the kings takes strength too. If you are weak, like Michael was before, you cant access the kings move and you'll lose, but you keep on hating it doesnt matter. What matters is winning, which Michael did.
If MMT keeps getting stronger, his arm gets healthier, he gets the Devon lifts up to 90kg and fights at 145kg, he'll have a good chance with Ermes.
@@KenpachiAjax you act like the kingsmove doesn't require strength
@@1Mannco I think he's already at a good strength to beat Ermes. Not saying he will, but he's already there in terms of knowledge and power.
MMT does not do "open arm top roll". He does "try my bone-lock ugliness"
Best bone lock of his life.
I think that particular style of rising lift is very helpfull in a dragging style open arm toproll, or kingsmove, probably not precise for a high posting, maybe for that reason Ermes doesnt approve that lift
Exactly. Spot on. I think it’s possibly more important than his pronation lift.
Mmt turned Devon's lift into a Kings move lift. i guess we can call it the MMT lift now
Kinda what it was really, which is why it's working better for mmt lol
But he stole it
Ermes is smart. He definately has a good plan against MT as he had against Jerry as well
I feel like some people don’t understand where his bone lock is
Todd is a beast...Ermes won't be having any leverage advantage like Devon on Michael Todd, that's why this match is not going to be one sided as people think
How is possible that already someone is the first in the comments section
Can you see John Brzenk trying this lift? Ahhh NO.
Regardless of form, lifting that much weight in this exercise is beyond insane
Devon does the riser lift over his knuckles/ fingers though, like, what are you watching?
He has two versions of the riser lift. He calls the other one “abbreviated rise” which is probably what Pradeep is referring to
Sir Todd hiding under the table won’t win 😂
Yep, reading the comments, and my opinion of the average lq of aw “fans” being 90 still holds
What's your iq, 95? I bet you're the smartest one. I for one shall follow you.

@@Sluchayniy no no, don't deny your superiority, you are our true king . The Smartest Armwrestling Fan Alive! I would follow you to the end!

You are trippin so badly
The power of God 😅🤡
Your right drew it’s your time to shine and show the world what a real armwrestling man can do

More man than you.
I'm suprised with the way that MT does this workout. He starts with his elbow past his thigh, but instead of shifting the weight up from there, he shifts his elbow onto his thigh
easier, but you can clearly see that his arm angle is a lot more open now.

What did he say?
Yes lately...Devon obviously brings his excitement to AW when others are really quiet at the table/boring. But I think he needs to tone it down a bit.
Exactly man I feel the same way I can't believe he would say that Eddie and Neil were looking at child p#$n etc
We can expect his newly develop version of kings move slash under d' table skill
Wow look at you not being original maybe come up with something funny next time.
It doesn't matter. He doesn't have the strength in other areas to defeat guys like Ermes or Levan. I'm rooting for him though and hope he proves me wrong! He is America's last hope for the World Title!

Meh.. we still know that 3 seconds into the fight, and then Todd will dip under the table 😂

I cant deny you have to be strong asf to simply move that much weight but his form is just too different each time
Why wouldn’t he train how he pulls? He needs to be strong in the kings move so he trains open
Especially Pradeep
1:04 why did you include Devon's name in how to NOT do a "riser lift" ?
That's almost as bad as saying the earth is flat.
