Hafthor vs Brian Shaw would be a huge arm wrestling event I would love to see.
Can you imagine that on PPV? I'd pay to see that if they both train for it.
Let's Goooo !!!
100% king of the table co main or main event
@@user-cr5yv5ho2i ok fan boy.
once they've both trained enough to know how to stay safe, most definitely. Otherwise we will have an arm break. Guys that strong without technical know how is a recipe for snap city lol
Should I give arm wrestling a go?
Maybe when you're older :D
Yes, Sir! But you'll need time to strenghten your ligaments.
Beat Levan, you will definitely be the best all around sportsman ever
Personally I find Armwrestling very boring (sorry! 😅) would rather see you in Strongman/Powerlifting!
My opinion is obviously insignificant, but my personal opinion is Thor is currently most suited for Strongman and Powerlifting, and Armwrestling could be a good choice towards late thirties or early forties.
A few reasons: Thor is a good 4 or 5 year run away from being the Undisputed GOAT of Strongman. He has mastered his craft and with the wealth of hands on experience he has, I believe he definitely can have a truly dominant run in order to achieve that. In the middle, he can certainly have a solid 6 or 9 month Powerlifting prep and break the All time All weight classes Total WR as well. The two sports will also compliment each other well.
If Thor goes full blown at Armwrestling: Despite Thor having all the Strength he needs as rightly said by MMT, Thor will have to learn the basics, the techniques, plus as far as I know, it takes years to develop good table IQ and quick decision making skills, plus experience also matter a lot at Armwrestling (please correct me if I'm wrong).
I'm not being negative or pessimistic, and I'm always supportive of Thor in any decision he makes, because we all know for a FACT that he gives his absolute 100% and he will succeed. Thor's health and family are the most important elements, then comes his passion (what his heart says), how it will help to further build Thor's legacy and then of course how lucrative the chosen path may be. I will respect and continuously support Thor with every single decision he shall make.
A lot of people used to hate Michael Todd because of his use of King's move, but no one can deny that this man truly loves arm wrestling, he lives and breathes it!!!
They just don't understand the sport. Michael is awesome!
That's all the part of sport. He's literally a good guy.
True n I wonder if the same hate he gets is ever directed to Dave, vitali and Denis that have all dropped into the kings move at some point also. Haters goin to hate.
@@bygoneera9521 nd one thing to remember, he has opened cyplenkov's hand in a press as well. He gave a war to cyplenkov as well.
99% of people that hate the kings move have never been on a table
Both Hafthor and Brian Shaw dabbling in armwrestling... Crazy to think what these guys would be capable of if they were completely dedicated to it. Obviously won't happen, because they have so many other ambitions, but really cool to see these guys taking an interest in the sport.
Armwrestling was always a part in strongman, even in some competitions back in the day.
@@PaddyDTyson Wasn't it only during 80s and 90s?
@@PaddyDTyson be cool if they brought it back
@@Kado1609 im sure they can learn how to arm wrestle safely, they have big brains too. What makes you say their strength will lack in other events if they train AW?
@@liamrmorgans921 Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Armwrestlers neglect Triceps? For Strongman Triceps strength is of paramount importance and Thor himself has always trained his Triceps because of that. In the meantime I have very rarely (extremely would be a better word) seen Thor training his Biceps.
Thor will be incredibly dangerous on the table with some solid training time. The potential is incredible.
you are incredibly dangerous
No fckn joke, his strength/arm size/arm thickness and he is already dedicated if he puts his mind into something we have seen.
What a solid collaboration between Hafthor and Michael! 1:03 I also can remember the Hafthor, Larry & Juji Armwrestling video in Jujimufu's channel and Thor was so brutally strong! While knowing for a fact that Thor can succeed at absolutely anything, I personally believe if Thor focus on Strongman and Powerlifting for the time being and Armwrestling towards late 30s or early 40's would be an ideal choice. Just my opinion though...
michael "under the table" todd
Be good to start arm wrestling now so he at least has a base
@@user-lj7lm9jc7f just shut the fuck up my guy. No one finds that comment funny anymore. It’s been said literally hundreds of thousands of times. You’re not unique, you’re not creative. Find something else to say besides the same regurgitated shit everyone else says
I’m actually 49
@@MonsterMichaelTodd remember the time when larrat was seeking u under the table?))
Michael has to be one of the very best arm-wrestling coaches, he knows every technique and every tiny movement and also teaches it well.
Yet he sucks and everyone he coaches hasn’t won anything significant in years
Facts
i dont think so, devon teaches way better imo.
@@fxpascal4399 i love Devon, but i think he's not good at teaching beginners who have no idea about aw. what he good at is teaching guys who already have a bit of experience in it, and are familiar with the fundamentals. he just doesn't seem to be able to dumb down his knowledge to a level where the average person can understand it
Derek smith is really good teacher too
Thumbs up!!! I counted Thor out when it came to boxing and I ate my words!!! Sorry brother thanks for proving me wrong much love and respect!!! That being said. Thor has proven when he puts his mind to it, he does it! If he learns arm wrestling techniques, wow look out!!! I'm excited!!!
MMT has upped his teaching game, good info. What I like is he explains it in a way that powerlifters can understand using a lot of their terminology with analogies.
thor vs brian shaw at some king of the table card would be fucking amazing! make it happen!
Soon as i saw this, i thought... there you go, they're waiting for larry to come in with the offers, they will be doing it i think
Would be mega
That kid can go to school and say my dad's bigger than your dad and almost certainly be correct.
At his biggest ever there'd be no almost about it 😂
Stormur shall remain undefeated in that game! 💪🏻😊
Hafthor is a good student (we already know that & it's evident from this video also), but Michael is a good teacher as well. This is a very informative video and I learnt a lot!
This reminds me of the old video of Devon armwrestling Hafthor, I always thought it would be so cool if Hafthor actually trained for armwrestling!
I have always liked Michael Todd's way of teaching armwrestling. Too many armwrestling UA-cam teachers forget to mention that armwrestling is a pulling sport. Which is also why armwrestling is often called pulling.
Ok a couple of things are really fucking cool about this video. Firstly, I really like how this was filmed, it feels like a documentary and really personal. I love the calm and friendly feel of it. Secondly, I'm a big fan of arm wrestling and strongman and all this cross contamination is just awesome. Hafthor you are most certainly welcome to join the arm wrestling scene!
@trekker75 Dude, Jesus. It's the first time he's actually arm wrestling, so no honestly for this video I don't care that much about them showing the technique in perfect camera angles. I just wanted to see more strongmen enjoy the sport and I got that
@trekker75 I mean sure if that's how you want to define it
You can see and hear how much fire Michael Todd has still in him. Awesome.
I mean he is not retired so not sure what you mean still has
@@Pidgeys 🤡
People think winning gives you fire - but losing and being pissed off about it to your core will give you far more fire than endless Winning ever will.
@@willh69 exactly
Thor as a Armwrestler sounds like the greatest combination of pure raw strength dedication
Outstanding collab! Great video with the editing and the tight cropping - felt very immersive.
Monster Michael Todd has some mega enthusiasm and energy… what a passion for sport! 🏆
Micheal must be so happy with the so many new comers entering his community
Great video, great collab! Michael Todd is hilarious super cool dude and on the other hand is very exciting to see Thor getting into arm wrestling
I love armwrestling. Its like fighting but no one's getting hit.
Would be cool to see a rematch with Juji or Dev, you guys are super chill and fun to watch , also all incredible athletes with huge power levels.
Monster vs. Monster! Very informative video. Always good to see people passing on knowledge.
Monster is an amazing teacher.
First time seeing thor arm wrestler was against devon laratt few years ago now seeing him again trying to learn the game is great!
Love the collab, can't wait for your Monster table!
Michael is a really good teacher
You are an elite strength athlete champ, and you would be welcome in armwrestling.
Awesome, Brian Shaw and Thor hitting it on the table. Kick Eddie's ass!
Wow! Great stuff. Michael is such a great instructor.
Always impressed how sharply Thor learns new things. Smart guy.
That aha moment Thor had there was awesome.. it would be cool if he gets into it.
Great vid very informative on the basics, thank you!
Thor, hope you compete in future king of the table super matches in dubai 💪
This was really entertaining and fun to watch you MMT and Thor really got along well 👌👌👌
Wish to see more content like this
Great video, great content! Would love to watch so much more!
I’m learning lots watching this ! Thanks lads
This was a great video, MT seems like a down to earth nice guy and would be a great teacher to Thor. He seems pretty impressed with what Thor could accomplish and it would be cool to see him get into the sport seriously at some point. Thanks for doing this, it was a fun watch.
Heck yeah, man! Arm wrestling is a really addictive and fun sport. There's a lot of technique involved, but also a lot of strength! So it would be right up your alley.
Do as Michael suggested, you don't need to stop your current goals to start training for arm wrestling, you can do it on the side!
I particularly love it, have been watching and training for it for more than 3 years now, it's just really cool! Plus, it's literally the only sport I know where you can be amazing and in your prime after your 40's!
Love it. You gotta get into the arm wrestling community more Hafthor. You are a great guy and we'd love to see more of you.
great collab, content looking really good
I must say Michael is probably one of the best if not the best at teaching that stuff. Never saw other armwrestlers explain it so simple and easy to follow. The other person is Todd Hutchings
Devon’s a pretty good teacher too
@@Irish00 i agree but Devon teaches you by doing and gripping with you. Dont get me wrong hes my favourite when it comes to competition but his wording can often be vague or free spirited (; the two ive mentioned give quick examples from areas the person is more familiar with
@@Irish00 Devon always teaches things like slipping, not holding on and other abstract/advanced techniques that are hard to grasp for beginners. For completely new people it's better to just go over the basics of a toproll and to not let your hand go outside your shoulder.
@@Kings_Crossing good point
Devon Mike and Todd could have a nasty arm-wrestling boot camp lol
Bless him that arm wrestling coach/champ is awesome! Love seeing people living their lives with passion and excitement!
more armwrestling!!!
Awesome video dude!
Great work only!
Teaching him the shoulder press was brillient thor has gotten fast after his boxing if he can learn to trashion to that he will be deadly
Yeaha. Great collab with the Monster. Thor should do armwrestling now as his main thing. Brian Shaw as well. THAT would be amazing. So much potential!!!
Great collaboration guys!!!
Brilliant video mate respect YNWA brother
Can't believe M-Todd is sending a table to Thor. Mentioned it on a few feeds to send one to Eddie. Absolutely subscribing to Thor's channel to see his lifts for arm wrestling. Could it help with other lifts? Definitely Arm Wrestling needs to be added BACK as an event to WSM. Would love to see HALL and THOR arm wrestling. Thor's reaction after the back pressure arm fight was priceless. You could see a switch being flipped while a spark of interest.
Todd squatting with Halfthor on his shoulders was fun to watch. :)
That was an awesome short clip... Loved it! 😊
Love the content well done your a quick study
Michael is such a great teacher. I love his teaching style, demeanor, and his emphasis on safety!
The more I learn about Arm Wrestling, the more I like Monster Michael Todd
@Monster Michael Todd Mike is just that type of guy you would like to share a cup of coffee with and hear some armwar stories. Great teacher and seems like a truly genuine nice person. Let him teach you Thor! Sky's the limit.
great vid love the the content
ive always wanted to see what strongmen would do in armwrestling. will be cool to see
Brian Shaw has been doing some on his youtube channel
The potential is absolutely off the charts. If everything went perfectly, it would still take like 3 years for them to become that real elite top level, and more for Thor and Brian since they can't dedicate their time like that, and there's maybe a cost to them losing in competitions, but LOADS of competition experience is vital. So there's some barriers for sure. Need so much table-time with a club. Then just the certain strengths that they don't yet have that take a while to build up, which goes beyond muscle strength. Tendons, etc. Then just the experience and mind-connection to move naturally and instinctively know what to do and how to counter different things (unless you got it stored like a chess player).
But if a strongman actually did this properly, that would be so awesome.
But then we do have big guys in armwrestling, like Alex Kurdecha and Derek Smith. Then there's been a number of powerlifters get involved, like Mendelson, Spoto a bit.
Oh, Denis Cyplenkov was a strongman and competed against Big Loz once, and Denis was maybe the best before his hospitalisation.
Big Loz has also gotten into armwrestling. He's the most committed career strongman in armwrestling now (he's doing it properly, club and everything). I haven't checked to see if he's still doing it after his Arm Wars match that hasn't yet been released, but yea.
most of them will absolutely destroy it if they commit to it it will take like 3 to 4 years I think
Yes! ….. This is the way to go so interesting watching elite sports people trying different things thanks
Arm wrestling is a whole other animal. Good shit! 🔥
Incredible video. Super cool to see Thor progressing with how to move here. Would be amazing to see him get into it a bit more over time. Maybe in the background develop those certain muscle strengths he doesn't really have at the moment. Armwrestlers have strengths that aren't exactly used in strongman, so it's not just about technique, there's a lot of elements to it. It just takes a few years to really get there (if everything goes perfectly). But yea at least the missing strengths can totally be incorporated into a workout routine.
Great to see next big name with armwrestling 😎😍 Btw, like quality of video, colors, and texture! Propos to cameraman and editor 😁😁
Yes for sure !! 💪
All these guys crossing over from their usual sports is great.. Arm wrestling has truly arrived on the strength stage 💪
Next.. Larrys gym!
Loved your simple approach with Thor. If we could get Thor and Brian obsessed like Larry it would be huge for the sport! You, Devon and others have done so much for growing the sport these last 5 years!
Been refreshing the main page waiting for this video to come out
Yes Thor, more armwrestling
MT is the best and most wholesome dude
Really good video!
Huge props to Todd. Really great sport.
Great to see Thor so enthusiastic. I hope he gets right into it.
This was the best video I have seen on arm wrestling. I love monster Todd and think this was his all time best video. Yes you should arm wrestle Thor!
Oh yeah would be awesome 💪🍁
I love how Todd says "Brzenk couldn't close a number 3" and knew he didn't have to explain what a nr 3 was because obviously thor was gonna know what that meant xD
Great content.
Excited to see you arm-wrestling, brother! Do you plan on doing more of it?
I think watching thor armwrestle is becoming one of my favirate things, i have always been team eddie but watching thor armwrestle is brillient hes such a great dude, you seen the panic on his face when he thought the other guy was injurd 😭🤣🤣
Thor you really can do something great in armwrestling, keep training to it and maybe after your comeback in strongman you'll be ready to go on armwrestling !
M.Todd you're looking much fitter and happier. Pleased for you 🙂
Thor......don't get me excited!
Hey Bowen! What you think, Thor vs Brian Shaw??
@@ArmwrestlingTelevision not yet....mega strong novice is a recipe for injury....I'd like to see Thor and Brian spend some solid time making safe pathways instinctive first.
2:28 *"I used to have the strength, not anymore".* Thor is so humble, but we all know the above statement is 100% incorrect! 💪🏻😊
Yeah. The man is still insanely strong. Deadlifting 300kg is still more than almost anyone in the world. And as he is back into strongman, that strength will only get greater.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Thor just Deadlifted 340 kg Raw like nothing! It was a great livestream. He is gradually getting stronger and stronger. 💪🏻
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 Palmar, time to check Thor's 380 kg Deadlift! 💪🏻
@@Nirsterkur That was absolutely awesome! He claimed he was fatigued, but he looked like he had plenty left in the tank. I think he will go above 400kg in no time.
@@palmarolavlklingholm9684 I think because it was a rigorous training prep, Squats, Bench and Deadlifts over and over and over again, on top of the body which was not used to heavy weights for two and a half years. He definitely needs a good restful week for the body to recuperate well and fingers crossed for a 400 Raw DL on Saturday.
Would also love to see Thor beating his 410 Raw PR in future.
Loving your channel now Hafthor, great to see you doing a variety of strength sport. Stay strong, stay safe. Graham
Unexpected suprise!
YES! After Brian Shaw, not Thor is flirting with arm wrestling! Two names that could beat Levan, given the proper time and training.
Hafthor looking strong on the table! he will be a force to be reckoned with when he learns how to move and devellops his specific strengths!
Mike Todd is great at coaching guys from weightlifting/sport background. He did great with Larry up until Larry hurt his lat.
Amazing video
Super cool. Michael training Thor and Derek training Brian! I wanna see Thor and Brian at the table in 2023. ha ha awesome!
Unexpected collab!
I think the hardest part for most people to grasp at the start is the lower body positioning, and how important it is for directing the movements above the table.
Legends 💪
I like the idea of celebrity arm wrestling. You and Shaw, or Hall, or whoever, can get x number of months to train and prepare for a match. It would be a blast to see you guys progress. Don't forget to go get some tips from Larry, man.
Monsters brillient at braking it down i feel like he gave you more info than you knew what to do with but the way he broke everythin down is alot easyer to understand than alot of other great armwrestlers, thor vs eddie armwrestle? 😮 if strongmen wkeep showing intrest an training armwrestling in afew years you might be able to do a strongman only armwrestling card just thinking how awsome that could be, im supper excited
Obviously now we all want to see Hafthor vs Eddie Hall in an armwrestling match!! 💪
Nice Video!
Would love for you to meet all the awesome armwrestlers. Also think it's a great time to get into it!
this was fun !!
Melsted besting Thor, what a legend!
Feels like i waited my whole life for that
Give it a try I would say. Arm wrestling is indeed an interesting sport, think it might suit you pretty well 👍🏻
🤣🤣 i love how thor said it looks ridickulas, then gos back to pulling an you were so close to busting that guy open you had the drag an the rise
dude imagine Hafthor seriously into armwrestling...he gonna be amazing
His nickname will be wall breaker with that shoulder press and Levan will finally have his own class weight though they wont beat him
