BRIAN vs EDDIE - The Last ARM WRESTLING Training COMPARISON

[@paullynn1848]

If it ends up being close and they both get fired up this match might steal the show!!!

[@Watchdog123go]

If any of you followed their careers in strong man you would know that Brian always struggled with over thinking things and Eddy just went for it every time. Same-same is all i see here...

[@JonathanBixby-k2h]

Completely agree. Everyone always commented how smart he was and methodical and well prepared. I would say it more often hurt him, rather than helped him. I'd say Brian is a slow learner and he's very stiff. Similarly to Larry, and as we've seen, Larry quit, because he couldn't be weaker guys.....because Larry isn't smart enough to do anything other than take steroids and lift things.

[@ben1ben2ben1]

[@wickywills]

Comes down to teaching. Neil is a MUCH better teacher than Devon. Devon is obviously an incredible arm wrestler and one of the best of all time, but Neil just seemed to be a lot better at teaching the fundamentals and getting Eddie to understand what he’s doing.

[@AdamLighter1]

Devon spent way less time with Brian compared to Eddie. Brian is way way bigger than Eddie, so ofc he will look more weird. Thirdly, Brian has armwrestled for 6 months so he has been learning bad habits, while Eddie got all the info only from Neil which is consistent. Clearly you cant say who is a better coach.

[@_WeDontKnow_]

if we saw Eddie practice against Devon, Eddie's technique would look bad. everyone seems to forget the huge gap between Eddie's pulling partners, and Devon. Brian's toproll in his mock match looked fine. bc it wasn't against a freak like Devon. literally everyone is forgetting this lol, it blows my mind

Ray don't forget to bring down the sound of the video you are commenting on when you talk, otherwise it's difficult to listen to you.

[@HammerFitness1]

When I played college football, we drilled the same footwork before practice Monday through Friday. Same exact footwork, repetitive, making sure that we were completely comfortable with it

[@atikhasan8039]

Brian's Height situation is like: "Suffering from success"

[@JonathanBixby-k2h]

I believe Eddie has the ability to learn faster than Brian. Hopefully both of them continue. If Neil invests his time into Eddie, doing say one practice a week, for the foreseeable future, that would be great. Brian needs more table time with different guys, not just his little group of locals he's got going there.

I think Eddie's got it. All about how you apply your strength, being heavier, taller, stronger grip, is no guarantee of a win if the technique is all over the place.

[@DachiTheBedoshvili]

in my personal opinion brian's movement and his technique looks pretty bad for a guy who has been training for 6 months, look at larry wheels in 6 weeks. and if anyone says brian is too big for the table, look at alex kurdecha which is nearly the same weight and who is about an inch taller than shaw. (brian 6'6-6'6.5 kurdecha 6'7) if anyone also complains about how brian is actually 6'8 look at a picture between him and a 6'7 derek smith who looks clearly taller. and in some pictures even a 6'6 roberst oberst is the same height as him. he always refuses to get measured theres not a single video of someone measuring him.

[@yargienimanuel]

Eddie pronation seems strong, Brian can be in big trouble if his wrist get cracked back. Since Brian basicly never trains defences whcih means he dont know what to do in awkward/lossing positions

[@youtubeyo142]

Being a big devon fan, sorry to say devon is not a great teacher, he is a good teacher but not a great one, he is the aw sensei, he has more knowledge than anyone except john in this sport, but when it comes to teaching, its a diff skill, brian and eddie are both behinners, and to make them understand about the sport more, you need to start from the basics, neil is better than devon in that case, cause devon's training method is complex, there is too much knowledge and you don't know what to do, that is what happened with brian, neil did a better job with eddie

[@Zcinderone]

Devon teaches/preaches AW philosophy, letting qualified pullers find inspiration on their own. But newbies yet to understand how and where to exert force to armwrestle on table would only get confused by his poetic and abstract description of his ideas, as they can only imagine what Devon meant. What they need is a fool-proof way to know what the correct feeling is/how to pull on table, and then dissect other detailed that governs it.

I think it's nuts that neil and eddy did what appeared to be a full on super match 6 days out from the match that matters. No ?

[@Tkrebs1]

No chance Eddie's hand and wrist have caught up to Brian's. Absolutely zero

[@joelhartmans820]

Brian will figure this out and Eddie will too, this will be a real competition. I don't believe it's going to be one sided dominance.

[@Zcinderone]

The way I see it, Brian doesn't know how to engage his pronator while Eddie does and actively attacks opponents with it, which could be Brian's demise because among the matches he can win, he relies(seems solely) on brute forcing his opponents who are not pronator-driven pullers either, so his weakness stays unexploited. I wouldn't be surprised if Eddie wins this one easily because in a strap his move can melt Brian and basically any newbies who don't know how to engage their pronators. The only way Brian can beat Eddie probably lies in off-strap options where he snatches his hand hard and bluntly pushes sideways in that amateurish, dangerous isolated side-pressure move. He is so strong in that move due to who he is, yet probably this hinders his understanding of what real AW requires.

[@dinkelicious_]

People think two visits from Devon are the same as full time coaching multiple times per week with Neil. And they come to the conclusion that Devon is a “shitty teacher”. All of us are sitting at home while they’re competing for $$$$ what do we know

[@guruagario2125]

I hope Devon tells Brian to watch Ray’s videos.

[@MattWarrenAust]

One thing is for sure, neither of them will go easy on the other.

[@FixTheLaws]

I completely agree. At first eddie had no chance but it seems like eddie moves better between the both of them right now. Shaw definitely has the greater strength. Eddie knows it too. He has been retired longer and he has trained with Brian after his retirement he knows brian is stronger and has some leverage advantages. That doesn't mean brian is insanely stronger than Eddie. Eddie is far from weak. I think they are going to be much closer and anyone of them could win.

[@Andy22-lf7ii]

Being English I obviously like Eddie but I've watched all their funny videos together so I like em both and I agree Brian is a big favorite and I think Eddie just agreed to get Brian going and I think Devon is hoping Brian could be the man to crack Levan eventually and I hope he's right 👍👍 😂

I love how people who don't know or consider there personalities don't understand the individuals themselves. Eddie will always put max effort (power) into anything. Even when learning. Brain is more gentle. He will go slower to learn movements. Completely misleading the people

[@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157]

Just for clarity- actually no one has seen Eddie at Full Power yet in the Training Camp sessions released. Most of the time we haven’t worked with Eddie at anywhere near 100% & that’s for a reason - we wanted volume/ frequency/ repetition of movement dynamics. Sometimes the Training partners have gone at 100% in a certain area & we have always informed Ed when they are about to do that so he is aware but Eddie himself has never gone either Full Power or Full Pace until the start of our very last session & in unique circumstances. We have focused on simply teaching Eddie to Armwrestle rather than simply trying to focus on just the Brian Shaw Match. I hope everyone enjoys the Match 💪🏼 all the best to you & your Families - Stay Strong 💪🏼 Be Stoic…..& Love Armwrestling 🤨☝️🔥🇬🇧

[@jays100]

I can easily see a world where Eddie wins but his potential is nowhere near Brian's. Eddie is a more natural/normal athlete overall. He isn't as much of a giant and he goes more based on feel. Brian is both more gifted and technical overall. I would still bet on Brian at this point but two years from now the gap will likely be larger in Brian's favor
