Wtf??? Eddie looks a THOUSAND times better than those first couple clips we saw of him. Neil’s knowledge and passion for strength & combat sports is palpable, I’d love to see Eddie pull this off
I know that 6 months of a lead or so is a big deal when your starting out, but even with that extra time, I really think a lot of people are overlooking Eddie for this titan match. Brian may be the big guy with big levers. But I think the sport and Neil have shown/said to us so many times that while "size does matter", there is a lot more to it than just being bigger. Especially if Eddie can really nail that setup right. Making Brain open up his arm/flexer to equal those webbings and getting Brian on the B side with his speed, just might make Brian even look hopeless. I'm not saying it is the most likely scenario, but I surely wouldn't count it out from happening just because Brian is who he is, Eddie still has so much of his strength from the strongman days. Can't wait to see more content with Eddie and see his progress. The day they meet up in dubai, it'll be so weird seeing them next to all the other familiar armwrestling faces, but in a good way, and it's going to be epic!
Dude Eddie is going to get destroyed. Brian has been training for over a year, is bigger and has a lot better genetics for the sport. But the biggest reason is you can’t build up the necessary tendon integrity and structure to safely perform a press against a high level opponent in such a short amount of time. If he tries to press Brian the most likely outcome is a broken arm. If Eddie had a year to prepare like Brian then maybe but under this scenario there is no chance.
@@Papaspronatorhes an elite strength athlete, his tendons are naturally thicker and more robust. The sport of Strongman especially at the top selects for it. But if he gets in a bad position i agree it could be snap city. If his press is technically sound i think he'll be fine
@ it doesn’t matter. Strongmen aren’t conditioned for arm wrestling. Magnus Samuelson broke a top strongman’s arm on WSM on camera. You can break your arm even if you are a strongman. Going for a press is a dangerous move if you aren’t conditioned for arm wrestling even if you do it with good form it can be very dangerous.
@@Papaspronator Given Eddie's attitude, I really don't think he cares much about the risks. High risk, high reward, is his way. We'll see if that works.
Its like a rocky movie Neil you are incredible. I support eddie, hope he hits the correct lane and disable brians hand dominance. Its gonna be a good night.
Eddie has the advantage of having MULTIPLE time world champion Supernatural Neil Pickup as his mentor, this is getting mega! I thought Eddie would be going in blind, but now he's got the edge for sure 💪🏼💪🏼
Wow Neil, you have him looking really fluid. I hope Eddie and Brian stick around after their event. Eddie might be learning faster than Brian is based on these clips...
New to this whole arm wrestling scene. Starting to find out more about Neil and I love him. What a great personality and love the hype. Couldn’t care less about Tyson vs Paul. But I care more about this. Come on Eddie let’s do it mate. 6 weeks.
Eddie looks hugely improved. Based on the boxing though, I don't know if I'd be saying "you're looking good" to him, I'd be saying "nah mate, you suck" to get him to push even harder. Eddie could be properly scary in this sport, although so could Brian. Am I, a weak nerd, giving coaching tips to Neil, possibly my favourite arm wrestler of all time and a legend in various capacities on multiple sports? No, that would be ridiculous. I'm giving coaching tips to my boss who needs to learn that saying positive things just annoys me because I can't improve on being right; I'm just switching the names out so I can boost the algorithm on a chronically under-subscribed channel and show this to my boss later to piss him off 😁
@rattotakki no no. There's no moving good for your size. It's you either you move well or don't. And then there's the understanding of it all. He does not understand it that is clear
The real question is weather Brian can handle a big hit... because in the past every single time he pull someone they both start very slow, and if eddie can try to flash pin it might work since Brian muscle arent used to sudden pressure, but i still think Brian will still be overall more powerfull, but i've seen many times that flash pins real do well with big muscly guys that does everything sooo slow...
I do believe that Mr. Hall has a good chance of achieving better technique than Mr. Shaw given the stellar mentorship he's getting from Neil. Shaw is strong as anything bit after months lf working woth others still looks stiff. I think because he's stronger than all his training partners it makes makes it hard for him to get an idea of how efficient technique works. Hopefully Eddie can take advantage of this. Good luck. ❤ Arm wrestling!
The whole world is talking about Brian Shaw joining arm wrestling and how awesome that is but why not see if Eddie Hall would do arm wrestling aa well?
Haven't heard this but I haven't practiced all that much can you tell me why that helps. Sort of like doing heavy negatives to make sure you can get a PR without injuring yourself next time?
The biggest issue is going to be levers. Brian is way stronger than Eddie especially being Brian is only in a year of retirement and Eddie retired in 2019 from strongman. Brian's length is 100% going to be the biggest issue. Eddie is not technical enough to work around it.(yet) Eddie also is almost always injured going into these kind of events...

Hes getting smashed
Those movements looks bits more smoother than Brain's, definately improved a lot, excellent lessons from 'Coach Neil'.
Neil is the man. Eddie is pretty cool too.
Eddie is looking good, but nobody is "running through" Brian Shaw.
What an incredible teacher Neil is.
Eddie is moving REALLY good at the table
I think he should be learning flat wrist press. Brain's hand is just too strong.
Yeah, he seems to be natural at this, which should make this interesting
He better be better at this than he was at boxing jeez😅😊
@@Wimbrock67 In fairness Halfthor would have smoked Brian in boxing even more so than he did Eddie
Eddie is soo athletic , im not suprised he already looks smooth in the table
Not only is Eddie looking way better at the movements than he was, but he's also looking even better than Brian right now at technique.

Wow, technique is forming very well. Eddie has himself an AMAZING trainer. I cant wait for this match now honestly lol.
Great coach + Great Athlete = Great Results
he looks way more fluid on it lets goo eddiee!!!!
try floop press like kammil or jerry
moves better on table than brian 💀
Looking good
Its like a rocky movie Neil you are incredible. I support eddie, hope he hits the correct lane and disable brians hand dominance. Its gonna be a good night.

@@aaronseale9022 Thank You 🙏🏼 for the kind words mate - all the very best to you & your Family - Stay Strong 💪🏼 Be Stoic 🤨☝️🔥
that hit already looks better than brians movements do...i'm starting to believe we will see a big upset. that said, i'm rooting for brian ;)
It's Good to see Neil on the table Again 😊💪

Wow. Eddie is more of a natural at this than Brian. I always thought he was as he looked better moving on the table than Brian in the past.
Holy fuck he already moves like an armwrestler
Hahahaha you are joking right
@@GTIngold look at the last clips of the video... he is moving pretty good for his size
@rattotakki no no. There's no moving good for your size. It's you either you move well or don't. And then there's the understanding of it all. He does not understand it that is clear
@@GTIngoldwell you are blind, he was pulling good look at the last 2/3 clips. Not bad at all.
@rattotakki ah yes blind you say? How long have you been in this sport
Eddy is definitely moving different, looks good
People counting out Eddie are insane. This will be a very interesting match.
Oh man Eddie is actually looking so much better, great job Neil🫡
Training that feels ❤
My hope is regardless of outcome we can keep Eddie in the sport. Would benefit massively.
😮

This'll be a BLOODbath
Oh man... Can Eddie win?! I'm starting to believe.

Remember to train with higher leverage. Add an inch or 2 under your elbow pad.
Haven't heard this but I haven't practiced all that much can you tell me why that helps.

@@rollinupeverest5042 Brian's levers are way longer than Eddie's so it makes sense to train for that disadvantage that Eddie will face against Brian
Neils brain in eddies body would crush anyone on the table!
Nobody better in the world to train Eddie
Dudes a ex professional swimmer do you think he is not athletic 😂.
The biggest issue is going to be levers. Brian is way stronger than Eddie especially being Brian is only in a year of retirement and Eddie retired in 2019 from strongman. Brian's length is 100% going to be the biggest issue. Eddie is not technical enough to work around it.(yet) Eddie also is almost always injured going into these kind of events...
Eddie has areas he's stronger. His triceps & his shoulders are stronger than Brian's & he's much more explosive
If he try’s to press Brian his arms going to rip off and hit the spectators. Best chance is a hook…
Maybe not, if he can be quicker at the start and command the position first he has enough juice to pin
