[@Neilpickpocket]

Best and most important match on the card in my opinion. GL Mindaugus. I would bet on you if you if the match was on ArmBet.

[@gigachad-rx3zv]

Definitely not most important, but definitely very exciting

[@Neilpickpocket]

@@gigachad-rx3zv Well to me it is most important because it doesn't make sense that heavier matches get more credence. It is also likely that the winner of this match is the only natural champion at EvW. It is also arguable that this is for the number 1 pound for pound arm wrestler that has competed at East vs West. Could certainly debate that. Hutchings and Devon have arguments for that spot.

Let’s go Minde! Funny comics as usual 😂

[@sankhawkulathantille]

You have the underdog privileges this time. That means all the pressure is on Daniel to win. Don't forget to do your aerobics/yoga workout before you fly to Istanbul. Daniel has no answer for that. 😅

[@3Sxno3]

One more question? Im confuses about dynamic and static? What is that thing

[@movieshorts4561]

Hi mate, just wondering how you deal with low/deep gripping hooking opponent ??

[@dr_paul392]

Good luck

Hi bro can i ask me and my schoolmate got an intense armwrestling match and after that my tricep is hurting and my right hand which is i use to armwrestling was shaking and i cant move it properly is it normal or i got injury? Im confused

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Sounds like there is some damage.

[@3Sxno3]

@@tarasaitis_arm okay thanks bro i got this pain like 2 times the first time i couldn't workout for like 2-3weeks cause of the pain and luckily it vanished after that and recently i got it again it maybe because of instense armwrestling without warming up my arm

[@tarasaitis_arm]

@@3Sxno3 yeah, never do it without a good warmup

[@Kai240i]

You just need to work on that transitional press Mindaugus! we know you can take his hand and put him on the loosing side, just your transition press is not there to finish him off. You can't just rely on hand control and backpressure.

[@oktaelectronics]

if you win! will you go against Alan Zoloev ?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Possibly

[@TIMUR.VAKHABOV]

Минда. Поздравляю тебя с победой💪 на чемпионате мира, 2023 я как тебя там увидел, начал болеть за тебя. Ну ты до сих пор не ответил мне на мой прошлый комент на счёт, тренировок.

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Can you remind me, what was the question? :)

[@TIMUR.VAKHABOV]

@@tarasaitis_arm Минда. Я любитель и фанат арма, и хочу укрепить свои кисти как у тебя, что ты именно и эффективно делаешь для этого? И Как лучше заниматся армом вообщем смысле в целом, делать маленькие и средние веса, по максимум подходами?? Либо делать большие тяжёлые веса с минимальными подходами?? Какой вариант будет результатным в реальных поединках?

[@justaguyfromreddit]

me and francesco will compete that day, and watch you later!

[@plotrecapped6819]

Mindau how did you develop your cup. I am getting that pronation and backpressure in my toproll like you, but I got like no cup

[@tarasaitis_arm]

Cupping exercises, many kinds :)

[@plotrecapped6819]

@@tarasaitis_arm name few please, your favourites 🫠

[@jakobstisen6366]

As someone that had a lot of cup from the start I can say that, high and middle pulley cupping rolling handle is a good way to develop the cupping motion. Your cups is limited by you Latissimus dorsi muscles, when doing a dragging cup. It should make you able to go for the cup on command no matter how strong it is. But that is just one way of doing it. Also any way of getting stronger fingers, will also make it easier to cup and find out if you can get a better staring grip with your fingers like where you want your index finger from the go and how to not lose pressure on your pinkey. All of this lowers the requirement to cup someone. All of this have elevated my cupping on the table other than just heavy cupping.

[@AhPhoey]

Mindaugus, if you had your choice, wouldn't you prefer the match against Daniel at 70kg instead of the 78kg?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

I am starting to think that 78 might be better

[@AhPhoey]

​@@tarasaitis_arm Interesting! 👍👍

[@richardgamrat1944]

But its 75kg, right? Or am I missing something?

[@Lagia7]

​@@richardgamrat1944 Should be right? The poster says lightweight (which is 75kg)

[@tarasaitis_arm]

@@richardgamrat1944 yes, 75

[@MelbourneMaster]

Arent you coming off of a win against him from last year in the east vs west qualifier? Something I notice in your matches with Daniel is that you tend to get stuck like 5 - 10 cm from the pad, which I guess is Daniels sticking point. You secure the pronation and Daniel is in a supinated position but with his wrist bent back, yet you dont transition to a press. I understand that transition to a supinated press is very dangerous vs Daniel bc it potentially allows him to bend his wrist and get inside at which point its over for you. But I cant help but think that when youre stuck 5 cm from the pad on the first 1-2 surges from the go, a quick transition to a flop press will end the match, at least in a parallel pin. Does he feel too strong there since you always decide to climb higher and stick with toproll? If you can press Engin Id think you could also press Daniel.

[@michaelmonstertoad2461]

Hello Mindogas Teramonkeys how you doing my friend?

[@tarasaitis_arm]

feeling ready :)

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

You have mastered Armwrestling and there is no Pronation or hook needed

[@iTheFrenchReaper]

Correct me if i'm wrong but you're saying you got some new tricks and a bit stronger (recently) while saying he was better and got stronger. You've already lost no? Thats the mindset u have from this video

[@NayanTopic]

Post some workout video for us bro

[@Mario-Armfight-Germany]

He'll call you dad after the match

[@matthewdieter3003]

You are way cooler than Daniel 😎

[@diggindiggenit6540]

I think you would win if they made a logical rule that both feet need to be on the ground b4 the go

[@gripriparmwrestling]

So change the sport of armwrestling on something that’s been going on for 30 yrs

[@diggindiggenit6540]

@@gripriparmwrestling yeah seems Engin did with the full blown out kings move why not then? kings move 30 yrs plus also

[@shannonbennett5692]

​@diggindiggenit6540 because your changing rules solely to benefit the style of YOUR favorite wrestler

[@diggindiggenit6540]

I am not changing nothing just a statement@@shannonbennett5692

[@diggindiggenit6540]

Unfortunately there is an "allowance" in armwrestling where a person can have a foot up on the table leg, so you have this individual who has a foot up on the table leg with his madhood either pointing to the audience or the backboard depending on which side of the table he is on, a completely twisted body much like a coiled up spring with a stabilizer/Hydraulic jack foot up, completely twisted torso, hips, spine muscles and shoulders (faking straight shoulders). Props to Engin for making logical choices on the full blown Kids (kings) move it's quite diabolical that said person doesn't see that having a leg up is just as bad as a full blown kings move giving total disadvantages to the opposite opponent unless he is doing the same thing. Several people at the top use this method a couple from Kazakhstan who have titles Daniel, lets even throw in Jerry he does it also and others the point is, at the go they Unwind like a coiled up spring, so lets figure out what takes more time and energy, coiling up a spring or uncoiling up a spring, which is faster? it's obvious. So at the Go they can uncoil and be in an attack position Or a dominate defense position usually much faster that the person standing with both feet on the ground. I tell you they Should make a rule that b4 the go both opponents must have both feet on the ground and I bet you the people i mentioned who do the leg up method would not be so dominate. Personally I think this "Allowance" for fighters to do that method is not logical what so ever as far as fairness.

I am going to take a guess and say you grew up as a kid with an ipad or similar instead of a football? could be wrong but I would also like you make a simple statement if i couldn't come up with a dispute to my statement to teach me i am totally wrong@@shannonbennett5692
