Because an armwrestling match does not go over several days. It’s all over in minutes. I need to know my pronation, riser, side pressure, etc hold up when it’s all being taxed. If I was doing gym lift pr’s I would stagger over separate weeks. Not even days. But that’s not what this is.
You have to gear ut somehow. Ypu would like the older gym equipment a lot of it was done this way. Preecher curl machines ect. Lat pull overs. Neat stuff.
What an amazing comeback. A couple years ago many thought Michael's days competing against the best were over. Some thought his career was over. Now he is coming off an impressive win against Genadi, taking on Ermes, and being mentioned as a future opponent of Levan. Will always be a Monster fan.
All that trying on that failed weight, probably did you more good than getting it first time, you will see the effects of that effort in the near future, keep going Champ.
Love these videos although they are tough to watch. I love Michael's energy and passion. I've only been a fan of armwrestling and MMT for around 5 years. But I'm a huge fan of the sport. I've watched every video and all the EvsW and King of the table. I started incorporating armwrestling lifts in my workouts. I was all in although I had never armwrestled on a table in my life. I armwrestled everyone in my family including all my 6 grandkids ages 10 to 2. I was strong beating just about everyone including all my friends. Well I worked out 5 to 6 days week and I loved it. 5 months ago I developed stomach pain and found out I had cancer of the liver and pancreas stage 4. I am in the middle of treatment now which is so hard because ALL of my muscle gains are gone. I went from 230 down to 180 literally in about 2 months. All muscle, just looking in the mirror brings tears to my eyes. I still lay in bed and do band pronation and supination and whatever I can. Diagnosis is up in the air. 1yr up to 5 years maybe more. I fight like hell not for me but for my family. I'm sorry this wasn't meant to be this long. The whole point is watching these videos bring so much passion for me to get up and move. I love Michael's faith in God and his story. These live videos are great and just watching the amount of effort and passion he gives brings tears to my eyes. I am praying for you and Michael to continue this journey through God and continue on and beat Levan and become the greatest in the world again. God bless you both and continued great health to you both. PS my wife bought me an armwrestling table for Christmas. I pray one day to be able really use it.
Love the machine. It brings back memories of the old school training equipment it used a chain with a sprocket. Preechers did lat pull overs did. Neat stuff mmt.
I havent heard people saying you need to train tighter but what if they need to struggle more to open you & still get open, more time for you to work on their hands no?
I don’t have the knowledge to comment on how these lifts will translate on the table but given I am also in my fifties I can say that setting PRs at that age is incredibly inspiring. Good on you Michael for pushing your limits and fitness level.
Dam that postion is scary 🤔🤣🤣 that side pressure might be more than ermes can handle an honestly i seen you as the weaker guy goin into it but now am not so sure an i already thought you can win, just becarful im sure ermes will be traing evertythin he needs to stop you gettin your lane, from what av seen of your last few matchs tho i think youll go all the way to levon an then its on he ran last time he cant run this time 💪
Honestly the STRAP on the 2nd lift doesn't look right.... : U need a better Handle or Adjust the 'Length' of it... He's getting it 1/2" off the ground atleast ;
Michael i’m from Italy and root for a good match cause i want to see you vs levan. Howewer i have a question we never see you to use a finger containment handle How do you train your finger?hope to see a video of finger training Ermes has ultra grip in is every specific Armwrestling session
Michael that yellow belt is to long .....you need to shorten it as the weight is so huge now its stretching the belt. If you shorten it when you lift your power will transfer to the lift rather than stretching the belt.
@ The Monster wins on the table, you’re 100% right - for now anyhow. On all of those arm wrestling apparatus’s in that gym, Brian wins hands down. If Brian goes all in I think in 2 years he could be world champ and beat Levon. Just my thoughts
I’m not licking the dudes nuts or nothing I just think he could do very well. You fellas are probably right- I like how we can be grown adults and have different opinions and discussions without someone being butthurt - it’s hard to do that nowadays. One quick question- are there any up & comers that could beat Levan & if Brian would never have a chance is there anyone in the world that could pull Levan? Good luck with everything you’ve got coming up Monster- go be Monstrous and let out the Monstrosity
The confidence monster has in his body is amazin. When everyone on the live stream, including me, was afraid he would get injured he never heaitated for a second to through himself back on that crazy weight. That's gota be faith in God ☝️ ✝️
Michael why don't you stagger your max lifts across different days rather than doing them all on the same day? That's what Todd Hutchings preaches

That machine for side pressure training looks like a table saw, it's so badass

Not many predicted you would come back so strong after dealing with all that you’ve gone though the last few years. Inspirational as hell.
Dudes mentality is one to be looked-up to and sought after. He's got major GRIT, his wife is so supportive too. Theres no doubting that.
This content is super immersive. Please, do it again!
Love the pepp from Rebecka! Lessss goooo!!

He hasn’t hit a limit, his CNS just needs time to recoup. Not a strength issue.
You’re on the cusp of getting that lift brother, I think missing that lift pissed the Monster off cause he’s killing these other lifts!
My favorite armwrestler hands down
All that trying on that failed weight, probably did you more good than getting it first time, you will see the effects of that effort in the near future, keep going Champ.
32:21Mike was getting so hyped but couldn’t get the strap on and Rebecca was like “Wth is going on over there” LOL
Love ya Michael. Get em brother.
Hell yeah your going to do this 😮

Amen 🙏 💪
Consider this as a multiset isometric workout.
Jokes aside, it's very cool video. Thanks for sharing and good luck champ!

Great work sir!
I think the five side pressures is my favorite🎉😊
Lets keep it up brother!! Phil 4;13 as you said it on the Genadi match, It is not about you its about Christ whos doing it through you!! 🙏
I watched and prayed for you Michael 🙏🏼 Gods Blessing You With Strength beyond Strength 💪 🙏🏼
Amen 🙏 💪

Whats those lights on the cieling? I need those!

POWER UP!
Hey Michael was curious I’ve been arm wrestling for almost 2 years. Would it be good to start going to tournaments or wait a bit longer?
Dam that postion is scary 🤔🤣🤣 that side pressure might be more than ermes can handle an honestly i seen you as the weaker guy goin into it but now am not so sure an i already thought you can win, just becarful im sure ermes will be traing evertythin he needs to stop you gettin your lane, from what av seen of your last few matchs tho i think youll go all the way to levon an then its on he ran last time he cant run this time 💪
Boss is back shoot i will watch later 😅
Honestly the STRAP on the 2nd lift doesn't look right.... :
U need a better Handle or Adjust the 'Length' of it...
He's getting it 1/2" off the ground atleast ;
How much does he lift in kg? What's the world record so far for the Devon lift?
87.3kgs
Better luck next time with the rise I believe in you, either way I think Ermes is done💪.
Michael i’m from Italy and root for a good match cause i want to see you vs levan.
Howewer i have a question we never see you to use a finger containment handle How do you train your finger?hope to see a video of finger training
Ermes has ultra grip in is every specific Armwrestling session
I use spinning handles on all of my back exercises.
@@MonsterMichaelTodddid you ever try multi spinner? How does it feel to you?
@@MonsterMichaelTodd thanks 💪🙏
Yellow strap looks about 6 to 8 inches too long for you to get proper leverage for that lift.
That’s what we all would think but apparently Mike said that’s not the case.
What is your defense for Ermes flop press ?
You haven't heard? Bone lock all the way 🤦🏼♂️ No need to even train for it.
Phil 4:13 💪
Need more mass to reach a new level..
Michael that yellow belt is to long .....you need to shorten it as the weight is so huge now its stretching the belt. If you shorten it when you lift your power will transfer to the lift rather than stretching the belt.
You are vary close
Then Brian walks by, sees the lift and says to add a couple plates and then goes and picks it and holds it 4 inches above the ground for a minute
Michael Todd would whoop Brian Shaw's ass
@ The Monster wins on the table, you’re 100% right - for now anyhow. On all of those arm wrestling apparatus’s in that gym, Brian wins hands down. If Brian goes all in I think in 2 years he could be world champ and beat Levon. Just my thoughts
I would be SUPER impressed if he could beat me on any of these lifts 🤦♂️
@@jwowen7538 Brian could train 5 years and never come close to levan

Mark my words
Impressive buddy, Impressive
