Devon Larratt & Neil Pickup vs Mindaugas Tarasaitis: Part 1

[@voiceofarmwrestling]

PART 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIqZYqSPjJalr6c

[@danielmarriott6580]

Neil and Mindaugas are probably the two most stubborn, must-be-right people in arm wrestling, so to see them arguing with each other and neither listening to the other is pretty funny.

[@rilynjohnson3297]

Ur saying Neil is stubborn an must be right because of the prerecorded incident arent u? Let it go

[@Kavriel]

@@rilynjohnson3297 Lmao you went there on your own buddy.

[@d_no_allyn_86]

I'm only halfway through but mindaugus was listening to Neil the whole time so idk what you're talkin about.

[@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157]

I absolutely LOVE Mindaugas Tarasaitis- he is an AMAZING Armwrestler & Natural 🤨☝️🔥

[@tomasemilio]

Mindaugas is a savage. Devon talking about his bible of armwrestling through the pyramid. Mindaugas “your triangle is a little bit wrong”

[@FutureAbe]

Haha Mindaugas’ confidence is admirable. Neil is too intense and it’s so relieving when Devon jumps in and gives a more calm empathic instruction

[@TheMrDpalmer]

Devon summarizes Neil’s points everytime in under a minute. Then Neil goes off for 5min and then Devon does 30seconds and he seems to get it. Impressive way of explaining some finer techniques and strategies.

[@ARMWRESTLINGCYCLINGFRANCE]

Yeah, but everything Neil said was correct. When Mindaugus lost EVW6, it's because he wasn't constantly adjusting for better position. His defense is incredible, but if the guy is that much stronger, he needs to take every millimeter available at each moment his opponent changes position or right before the next power surge from his opponent.

[@TheMrDpalmer]

@@ARMWRESTLINGCYCLINGFRANCE oh I totally agree and I even went back to watch some of those clips just for reference. Neil is so passionate. He almost gets flustered at how somebody so talented can’t see things from his point of view. Anytime some of the armwrestling OGs talk shop you’d be crazy not to take as many notes as possible as a competitor.

[@ARMWRESTLINGCYCLINGFRANCE]

@TheMrDpalmer absolutely. You can gain years worth of experience if you can apply what an elite arm wrestler can teach you in 30 min.

[@dylanh1769]

devons explanation about using techniques with the pad at the end is very useful and interesting to hear thanks for showing us

[@wesleyb1458]

thats brilliant stuff

[@mar__k]

Totally. Been watching him for a couple of years and now i get the idea.

[@christopherjohn8521]

Neil and Devon are talking to Mindaugas as if he doesn't know a single thing about Arm Wrestling. It's like listening to your Dad and Uncle argue with with each other on how it's done.😂

😂🤣😂

[@trueneutral3092]

agree on this point.. neil is taking himself way, wayy too seriously here, especially in the presence of devon, interrupting both he and mindaugas.

@@neilpickup-supernaturalstr3157 understood. no big deal. ironically, in light of my previous comment, if you look hard enough, around the very special place in the armwrestling multi-verse known as the comment section on various youtube videos you'll find me fighting the good fight in quite a few places, so it's definitely no hard feelings, i tend to just call things as they are presented based on the pov given to the viewer.

what a masterclass by some of the best AW technicians in the world. Coach Ray put part 2 up asap pleasseeeee!!!!!!

This is the type of conversation that fuels my addiction to arm wrestling…need more of this. Thanks Ray

[@sankhawkulathantille]

Now Daniel knows the whole plan thanks to Coach Ray. Mindaugas is doomed! 😂✌🏽

[@nocpacity9631]

[@jamesnm21]

Sounded more like he knows exactly what they were talking about but wants to work on perfecting a different strategy.

[@SOLIDCORNER418]

Thats exactly what minda did east vs west 11 .Devon gave him a lot of good advice and neil was a complete time waste

[@brownriceprod]

this is some of the greatest footage ive ever seen, because not a single one speaks as if they were being filmed; it's just the greatest minds behind the scenes in their element. just awesome to witness... to be a fly on that wall

[@brownriceprod]

@trekker75 I guess I meant in person but yes ur right

[@doublefartz8959]

This video makes all of us fans remember that arm wrestling is not just a simple "who's stronger" mentality. It's a very complicated sport.

[@Red.Rabbit.Resistance]

Neil has probably watched every single match ever. his advice is effectively the life blood of arm wrestling.

[@SmithsOutdoorSurface]

Watched ? I feel like no one new to the sport realizes he’s an 8x world champ with hundreds of other titles around the world and taught half our generations guys how to even arm wrestle lol that’s why everyone respects him so much he’s actually in the goat conversation when ur talking full body of work in the sport

[@Red.Rabbit.Resistance]

@@SmithsOutdoorSurface You think people respect Neil because he was a great arm wrestler 20 years ago? Boy... you need to sit down ok. I complimented Neil because hes an ambassador of the sport. Is advice is CURRENTLY valuable based on what he has seen to date. Not what he did 2 decades ago to guys half the size they are now. Dude, you basically just took a great compliment and minimized it, by presuming I dont know who pickup is. God i hate dudes like you.

[@SmithsOutdoorSurface]

@@Red.Rabbit.Resistance no, wrong interpretation completely of what I said . “FULL BODY OF WORK” .. my response may not have been worded correctly either. Cause I wasn’t contradicting anything u were saying dude I was basically ADDING to it! Saying basically tht u were CORRECT plus his arm wrestling Experience that I feel like people forget or new people don’t even know about .. everyone thinks everyone else is a troll, not the case .. but however I wanna take it dude fine by me

[@Red.Rabbit.Resistance]

@@SmithsOutdoorSurface I suppose, but something like that could have your own comment. not hijack mine and expect me not to take it personally lol. But yea sure, yes a lot of people generalize Neil as just a commentator, because many new pullers are only in their 20s and only recognize him for his voice. its 2023 man..

[@adsglobal3351]

Pickup's brutal honesty is a class A coach material. Set the ego aside, say yes coach, and do it.

[@EmilBBechGrip]

"Part 1" LOL. I have a feeling this went on for a while 😂

[@Armwrestlingchef]

Minde just needs to learn and practise a press and be brave... BUT i have a feeling Daniel is already stronger even in a top roll but he plays safe and goes in that position by choice

When it comes to understanding our own strengths against an opponent, it is important to allow the opponent to learn and try to utilize their strength against something new. It's a new world, keep on truckin'. Give it your all to make it your way in the match of who you are up against.
