Let's be real, he lost 2 round to a guy with 6 week's training and people think he can take Levan? Be realistic; it's too early. 🤦♂️🤣
@CantThinkOfAHandleSoItsThis7 күн бұрын
Just reading the title: Hell no, way too early. He needs more time to train, get his body used to the movements and work his way up to Levan. Throwing him in now would make for a bad match; not only would he lose but he'd probably get injured too and nobody wants to see that.

I think that it was an excellent learning experience for Brian, and that he will make the necessary changes in his training. I think that Brian now has a better sense of where the top level is, because he knows Eddies strength, and knows that Neil handily beat Eddie despite being retired for years. I think it’s also good that he was allowed to really test Devon’s strength in his gym, because it showed him that he still has a long way to go. If anyone knows how to get strong, it’s him, and he will undoubtedly start aiming for Devon’s (and Levan’s) numbers eventually.

I don't understand why people assume that Brian is physically stronger than Eddie. In strongman, Eddie has outlifted Brian on all major static lifts.

@SuperNova888666 He recently (a month or two ago) did 100 kg dumbbells per hand shoulder press for 2-3 reps in his gym, together with Iron Biby. I don't think Eddie has lost much strength (of course he's lost some with the bodyweight down). Brian doesn't do strongman either these days.

I think Brian did a lot better than people are giving him credit for and Eddie did a lot worse than people are giving him credit for. Eddie lost because of his technique where Brian won because of technique and strength. Watch the match with no sound because I'll give Eddie credit about being an amazing showman. However to be great you don't need to be talking trash like Devon or Eddie look at Levan or Davit Samushia absolutely dominating the sport without any trash talk (I do enjoy the banter though). Why the match looks so bad for Brian is because of what Devon told him to do which was great advice. Devon was having him roll out backwards in the start which is super safe because you aren't using your side pressure or shoulder. Then Eddie was grabbing onto Brian like a vice grip which always creates for a jerky weird fight as one is trying to slip and one is holding. Brian did a great job and keeping height and pumped Eddie's hand very bad...he was constantly shaking between round. Brian could use some better body movement but I think a lot of it was keeping him save and not using using his shoulder. We have no idea how strong Eddie is in the strap. I'm guessing being a world strong man he probably isn't no slouch when you are tied up to him. Larry wheels was a strict powerlifter that didn't have any of the muscles needed for arm wrestling and that is why he struggled for so long. But these guys are world strong man always doing a weird motion like pulling on ropes or lifting stones. They could be a lot better than people are saying. I 100% think Brian has the best potential his hand is a hydraulic press and has tons of leverage. For the little bit they have been in the sport I thought they both put on a great show and I'll for sure be waiting for a rematch.
@jakobstisen63669 күн бұрын
I think they are quite spot on. Eddie looks good in his move of pronation, where containment that Brian did is just power armwrestling and takes away form his learning of the sport. So I think is what we see is what it is.
@deeeeeeps9 күн бұрын
@@jakobstisen6366 After fouls Brian pronated Eddie over and broke his wrist back. Round 2 again Brian pronated Eddie then cupped and turned Eddies hand over. Round 3 Eddie is holding on with his wrist broke back. Round 4 Brian is using so much pronation his hand isn't gripping it wide open and Eddie once again is holding on. Eddie did look great in the strap he was using shoulder and pronation. Round 5 once again Brian pronates through Eddies hand and turns it over using cup and pronation. Round 6 Brian broke Eddie hand wide open with just pronation.... I have no idea what match you watched or if you just focus on the one round Eddie won but CLEARLY Brian was pronating and cupping and control height the other 5 rounds.

Eddie was constantly climbing and adjusting for height, but his issue was not knowing when to slip. The match was decided by Eddie's inability or choice not to slip. It was Eddie's mistake, rather than Brian's excellence that won the match.

This is a great idea. To take it a step further, maybe there could be stripes on the band for weight classes. 1 stripe for 60kg, 2 for 75kg, etc. Because a 90kg blue is going to outperform a 60kg blue. Either way the bands are a good idea.
@tablemonkeys526220 күн бұрын
Weight class is already defined. The bands are meant to indicate skill. So a 70kg blue band might be competitive with a 90kg yellow for example. We have planned to incorporate 3 stripes to signify strength levels. For example Brian Shaw, and Eddie Hall are still white bands as far as skill is concerned, but they are both level 3 in strength. Again this is intended to help practice be more efficient and effective, and not necessarily to rank pullers…

I think this is a really cool idea. It does seem to have two threads; proficiency and strength. The highest achievement in arm wrestling clearly requires both. However, your arm band system may benefit from a a subjective element that seeks to favour skill and knowledge over strength. I dont think you want some super jacked dude who could be world class given time and practice, getting a medal at nationals and being the only black band at your club. So i'd have three points based categories; competition experiance/achievement, knowledge/technical proficiency and finally i'd have one for reflecting the values of the club ( being a good training partner, being a regular, spending time teaching, not ego pulling). Id weight the competition aspect most heavily because to me that IS the most important criteria for respect in a martial sport.

Can a high hook work well defensively against someone who has a very fast start with a lot of side pressure. The reason I ask this is because in a slow pull against my training partner I generally have his hand and out back pressure him (I naturally tend towards a toproll style), but in a match start he pretty much gets me in a flash pin every time and I am at a loss as to what my options are

@OldManArmStrengthАй бұрын
If you aren't adding weight to the pin, you cannot gauge how much force you're using, and how much progress that you're making in a certain position. Max effort wouldn't work because the weight needs to move for an inch or so before the hard stop, and you would be too fatigued to hold it there for any amount of time. That's why you don't max on isometrics. The whole point of the weight having to move is to gauge progress, otherwise people would be just pulling on inanimate objects with no clue of how much force they're actually producing and how much progress is being made

@tablemonkeys5262Ай бұрын
No. It’s not the same. The fact that you are holding a certain amount of weight and then applying more force to keep the tension on the strap. If you are just pulling against a weight you can’t move at all then you have now way of gaging progress. Also you feel both the weight moving and stopping when you lift and hit the hard stop. This is a great way to replicate actually pulling an opponent
