Frank Lamparelli vs Michael Todd

[@gavinhay6627]

Please, nobody ever arm wrestle like Michael Todd..

[@Patriarch__]

Get your arm broke armwrestling like Michael Todd.

Michael Break My Arm Todd

[@SirBagelsFGR]

Good lord, you can question his technique but you can't question his heart and desire for victory.

[@XxPlus6xX]

Mike might have some of the strongest bones in the world that's for sure. Man constantly lets his opponent slam on his arm in a break position, it's actually crazy.

[@doxy7023]

That's why nowadays his arm is the way it is. Not sure how his elbow is now after the surgery he had, but it was super messed up.

[@XxPlus6xX]

Oh for sure. Ugliest technique out there.@@doxy7023

[@MEEFSAGA]

its ugly positions but its not just bones atall

[@XxPlus6xX]

Okay you go into that position and not have your bone snap like a twig. too many vids out there to prove you wrong.@@MEEFSAGA

[@MEEFSAGA]

i get it but its not just because "he has strong bones" @@XxPlus6xX

[@felipearmwrestler4852]

Michael Todd was the definition of "test your frame", the guy was reckles regarding is arm safety lol.

[@Jdm5299]

Franks' hair is the secret to his success.

[@AIAudiobooks411]

this ridiculous armbreak style caused MMTs elbow to calfify beyond repair. his problem was always his weak wrist, but he could circumvent the issues by pronating from the outside position later on

[@Pepe-pq3om]

Thing is at this point and for a long time he barely or didn't train his hand at all. When he got to the kingsmove stage he obviously was training his hand, by thnn his wrist movement and range of motion was already severely damaged, to a point he couldn't even try to force a hook, so we never got to see him at his full potential unfortunately.

[@sebastiansullivan4770]

So insane from Micheal todd. Omg the dedication to winning is just so amazing

[@EastsideArmWrestling]

Amazing! Never got to watch this match in full before. Glad Frank is finally getting more attention worldwide!

[@Mario-Armfight-Germany]

World level pronation

that was some good fucking match to watch. also todd seemed so chill on table, much different attitude than his later career.

[@lobo53695]

[@sultanuatay3831]

Amazing to see Frank back

[@michahalczuk9071]

Judging by the fact that Todd didn't use his elbow lock (which he didn't have yet) this must have been before 2014, and his young look would make it either early or mid 2000's. Todd had extremely strong bicep and rotator cuff and few people could beat him. Lamparelli winning just shows how good he was, even more than a decade ago. Good thing he stayed in sport and stayed natural!

[@humanbean3]

u must not know much about arm wrestling because he was using a different kind of bone lock here. he is in full arm break position "testing his frame", and he's doing it so much that it's bent backwards more than most ppl's arms can even go......it's a fighter's spirit for sure but arm wrestling in this arm break position for so many matches is no doubt what messed up his arm

[@michahalczuk9071]

​@@humanbean3in that position you mostly use rotator cuff and pectoral. This is far from bone lock, it's just ugly. Also I've been into armwrestling for +15 years so lol.

[@humanbean3]

@@michahalczuk9071 you'll notice michael in all of his matches from back then lets his arm go behind him in this arm break position. it almost looks like he's going to walk off into the crowd while leaving his arm behind sometimes! he'll be looking right into the crowd and his arm will be bent bank, pivoting at the elbow joint. It's the classic arm break position you warn all new people of. Its not exactly bone lock you're right, its the elbow joint were the radius meets the humorous taking a lot of the force. when he transitions into going for pinning move from this position yes i agree though.

[@michahalczuk9071]

@@humanbean3 it's way more torque than any normal person would be able to sustain, but most long time armwrestlers have enough joint strength not to break their arms while doing it. Although doing this from start leads to elbow calcification which leads to not being able to straighten your arms. Todd, Larratt and Cadorette have this issue.

[@humanbean3]

@@michahalczuk9071 i agree. cadorette can thrive in this position as well

[@johnnyVGtran]

great match keen to see them run it back

[@Skirlippa]

Those angles MT keeps his arm in... gives me the creeps.

[@christophernadzeika7288]

Where did that Michael Todd go? No hype, no arrogance; just grinding determination and endurance.

[@BlakeGibbons]

Absolutely just pure grit from Mike lol dude is a psycho. It's no wonder why his elbow is in the shape that it is. That's just pure determination and zero willingness to lose. That's what Mike was always known for until the match with Devon where he just conceded consistently... I actually hope to see his arm hold up after all that he's worked through for the last like 6 months or whatever since his surgery. I'm very interested to see who he pulls for his first comeback match.

[@humanbean3]

and guess who it was XDDDDDD

[@mence5992]

La quantità di pressione che il frame di Todd è in grado di assorbire non ha senso. Io ancora non ci credo che nel quarto round il suo braccio abbia tenuto con Todd che tirava tutto in side col corpo dall'altra parte e le spalle perpendicolari al tavolo. Già il resto dello scontro era allucinante. Ma quel quarto round lo devono portare come esempio di aumento della densità ossea.

[@justaguyfromreddit]

Davvero assurdo, si capisce davvero quanto sia disposto a vincere

[@mcfarvo]

Before he had the elbow for the defensive king's move to tire out opponent and then press to win, MMT simply had jam down the elbow in a losing position (and his humerus not spiral fracturing haha) and then transition to a press

[@francescopiceni]

Tanta roba Frank ♥

[@christhetanman2639]

Wow, I thought MY’s kings move looked ugly. It’s beautiful compared to that arm break position 😨

Frank Lamparelli is an amazing arm wrestler, plus he has been around doing it for decades.

[@gokublack5831]

Interesting Monster Micheal Todd had pins on Frank Lamparelli and this was Monster Micheal Todds earlier career he wasn't even kings moving yet

[@zablogful]

Back when he was armwrestling with is frame in constant arm break position. He always had horrible technique and strength, only thing that made him stay afloat was is bones and tendons.

[@gokublack5831]

@@zablogful Yeah it was really bad though it's the perfect example of the way you don't want to arm wrestle 😂 one of the ways but you know when your young lol sometimes yeah too much.

[@Pepe-pq3om]

[@TOSIQ590]

Crazy fight

[@RDS_Armwrestling]

And that's why Michael Todd has had so many surgeries and treatments for that elbow 😳

[@jobidden2073]

Michael Todd.... What a guy. Offensively and defensively used the same musles to generate force = Tricep, pecs & supraspinatus for side pressure/drive and humeral torsion from elbow flexors (angled to look like he's exclusively always pressing... Ie Shoulder exactly inline above elbow) for defence.. This gave him great continuity of force at this point of his career, no need to transition. Only had to commit to a drive when attacking.... Its exactly how not to Armwrestle unless you're Michael Todd.

[@EdwardsArmwrestling]

Looks like when he just went against Matt mask lol. Had his arms in the same positions just bent wrist

[@DriftmanX]

I’ll give Michael Todd the credit he deserves for never having dodge anyone at any point of his career. He took everyone on at their peak. Volveda, Dennis, Pushkar ANYONE

[@BlakeGibbons]

I'm sure Frank couldn't believe what he was feeling/seeing. Idk how he'd ever feel something like that before or after Mike lol So unorthodox

[@chuggingtonn8923]

[@ImSnakezZFirstRoomPlayer]

I wonder why MMT's elbows are so fucked up...

[@Ja_ist_gut]

Watching this is a challenge

[@francescoventurato5452]

Adesso ho capito perché è ridotto cosi Todd

[@OrcaStree]

Michael Todd, love him or hate him, has to be one of the best defensive armwrestlers of all time. That arm break style was rough to watch and dangerous to perform, but effective. It looked like Frank was about to tear his arm off every round. Now his king's move is even more controversial but less dangerous to perform, and just as, if not more, effective than his old arm break style. I'd say him Jerry Cadorette got the most effective and successful defensive styles of all time

[@justaguyfromreddit]

Truly one of the legends!

Quante volte alza il gomito il mostro Todd 8.0? gli arbitri stavano li a guardare le farfalle. L'armwrestler che disprezzo di piu, ha sempre vinto grazie al blocco articolare e al fatto che gli permettevano di stare sotto il tavolo, nella posizione normale non resiste 1 secondo contro nessuno .
