Thanks for letting me be a part of your return! Great Job Michael and Rebecca!
you've been a huge motivator through this!
@@justrebecca412 thanks it’s inspiring being around you and the monster!
"Apart" would mean you weren't a part.
I make a salve it speeds up the recovery of any injury and takes away the pain associated with virtually any injury. Lmk if you want to try it. All natural, no cbd, hemp, or weed, drug free with zero side effects.
@AlejandroGjezi-jm9gf Yea well they said the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what they attempted to say and it bothered me. Cry about it.
Also, there's nothing wrong with helping someone learn.
13:17 Bro everyone’s there to help, chill the ego
the sport needs the Monster back...it doesn't have to be at any certain level! I wish you all the best. Whatever you are able to accomplish post surgery is just stacked onto an absolutely awesome career! I can't wait to watch it unfold.
agreed
Looks like your patience has paid off.
So happy to see you back Monster! My deepest and profound condolences to you and family!! LFGG MONSTER
🙏🙏
I felt Mrs. Rebecca's nervousness coming thru my phone lol. I was nervous too lol. But looks like you're doing aaaa otay man 💪💀.. just a matter of time before ya back on stage ripping arms off again 💪💪
Otay otay
You putting yourself out there is why I became a fan in the first place. Win or lose, right or wrong, crazy or sane, we come here for some Monster
Glad to see things are coming along well and that you're being honest with yourself about where you're at right now. Like you said, it's going to take time for your body to adjust to the new range of motion.
That competitive edge is back 💪🏾
We are looking forward to seeing you back in action !!
Man. I would be more patient with the weaker buddies.
But great you are back on the table. Any match plans?
he tells you at the end where he is going
Is he the Steven Seagal of arm wrestling ?
Dude! I’m SO excited for you to come back! I’m so happy that your recovery is going so well!!! Good for you, Mike! You have a great group of guys and most of all, Rebecca to help you. I’m so happy for you!
Thanks so much!!
Very impressive progression didn’t even know it was possible to return so fast to pulling on the table after surgery. Congratulations
Awesome progress! Getting stronger everyday! Fantastic determination!
OMG
Finally!!
You have no idea how long ive been waiting for to see this exact video.
Thank you michael! Good to see you back
Your pronation honestly looks so much better.
Im interested to see what he'll be able to do. On one hand, he for some reason decided to gaf what people think so he modified his kings move (this is before different leagues changed the rules about how low you can go) to the point of being unrecognizable. He stood straight up and completely changed pressures, angle, etc etc before the surgery. Being that he doesn't even fully utilize the classic kings move anymore anyways. Hopefully he gets extremely efficient inside (obviously aside from his press which was how he finished from the km anyways). Hope that elbow stability etc allows for different avenues to take.
Its always fun to watch you competing! You bring the unique factor to every cards
I wanted to say thank you to Michael Todd. I'm going through a nasty breakup and I'm a Veteran with some PTSD, anger and anxiety issues....desperately searching the internet for something to calm me down This helped a lot! Thank you. And God Speed on your recovery!
He's back baby ! 💪🏻
Great to watch the progress as it happened.💪
Seeing the tension turn to relief on mikes face when he realized his arm is strong af again was awesome.
Good to see Michael .. keep it going!
Nice to see you back on the table Mike 💪
Will be very cool to see the what the results from the access to all of those previously restricted angles, muscles, etc. will be like in time. It will also be interesting to find out just how weird it feels to have those abilities after not being able to use them for what, fifteen years or whatever the timeframe is.
Really looking forward to seeing you getting strong in the short range position for your right bicep and getting the muscle memory to keep it in front of you when you pin someone.
I believe you will get there!!
looking really good mike so excited to see you back!!
Hey Monster, great seeing your recovery and progress. Keep it up💪🏽
I miss good old times you were doing live streams
at 6:26 Rebecca: I don't like this.... I bet those were high emotion times 😅
Glad to see this! Awesome seeing the kiddos watching diligently from the sidelines.
Good video and great progress. I don’t understand the anger Mike. You got room full of people there to HELP you and you look pissed at everyone. Try and enjoy the comeback and be thankful for the people showing up to help.
wasn't pissed at anyone other than myself. that was all self directed. and that really was just about fear/ nervousness. I wanted to trust the arm but truthfully, it was scary
Don’t be mad at yourself. you’re doing great and I would imagine you’re ahead of schedule for your comeback. I’m nervous just watching. Can’t imagine your thoughts. Good luck
Best regards from Turkey, Michael. We want to see you again in East vs West.🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Welcome back Michael monster Todd. Thought we lost you for a while. I like the new approach to bringing the arm more center in the setup should pay dividends after some more practice. Not the biggest fan of your style 😊 but looking forward to seeing your next match. Curious to see old kings move Michael or a newer and improved Monster, only time will tell. Rebecca thank you for helping get him back to arm wrestling. Hope to see you both back at EvW representing the good ol US.
Stay strong 💪
Give yourself some time; it will come...
You're smart enough, knowledgeable enough to figure out what to focus on and optimize your new range of motion, I look forward to seeing the progress!
Great stuff....
Good vid bro. Been wondering about your progression. Look forwrd to you first match back.
Can't wait!
So awesome to see you leveling up. Keep at it Monster!
Was missing your videos. Wish you speed recovery and keep up the great content.
Must have been so stressful first few practices but glad it went well!!
OF COURSE you were nervous! Your ability to use your right arm was on the line.
You do great! Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing 👍💪👍
Man, you're on your way, you were a serious force before to be recond with and now wholly shit, I'm seeing something here. 🙌💪💪
Good luck and God Bless 🙏🏻
Yeah Monster I'm glad you're back. You, Todd, Corey,Ron, John, Devon, school boy and his brother are great guys with great sportsmanship.
Looking good monster, glad to see you making progress!
Correy is such a great guy you can see him lettin you you hit an tryin to contain him self it must be fun to him since it for the most part was you trainin him an lettin him beat up on you when he was risen up an now he gets to return the favour, i rearly enjoyed seein this
looking absolutely great MMT! very exciting times
MMT looking good.
Riser and pronation actually working now. Can't wait for your comeback at high levels Mike.
Happy Halloween guys. Can’t wait to see you smash top. Ranked guys michael. Surgery looks like it was wonders for you.
UA-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪
... can be scary! And all the new range u have, so exciting! What a build up!
I would love to see you get a good practice with Devon I feel like it could polish alot of new ideas with this new arm! Always best of luck this is fuckin awesome!!!
A trip to Canada before his January east versus west match. Would be very smart of Michael.
no. both men are incredibly busy and just running up to Canada is not in this family's best interest. we are home until East vs West. There is going to be PLENTY of strong smart pullers here Dec 1&2 for michael to get in a fantastic practice.@@youtubeconnollyfamily
How long did it take to reverse the atrophy? Your arm(s) look great and cant really notice anything
I hope this was an exercise that shows your speed Mike. I absolutely love that you refuse to give up on an injury and go back to the sport you LOVE!
This vid isn’t a training vid other than your fast reaction times….still had to resort to a 90% king’s move on the tough fellas . Maybe just let the fella’s WORK and build your tendon and muscles up again like Devon and Denis have been doing 🤷🏻♂️
Dang, welcome back MMT!
There He is MMT Back at Everybody Better Get Ready God Bless you and your family 💪🙏💯
Good luck legend
LET'S GO CHAMP!
Can't wait to see you in the mix again! I believe 100-105 kg can be yours! (Ps: I think you are still generous with your hand position in the setup)
That’s a tad light. Not looking to lose that much weight. 105 would be the absolute limit
@@MonsterMichaelTodd I see! Either way, you'll be on the top again!
@MonsterMichaelTodd You would also be really good at 115kg .Super heavy weights Are all juice to the gills most of them in the top 10 It's Hard to be competitive there without being on any gear.
@@nickaguilar8101 I agree. Obviously subjective from an outsider perspective but I think for a healthy MMT, 115kg is the best fit. Probably his natural weightclass, imo.
Train smart. Don't go to failure often... take a page from Devon's training book and be patient. You will be winning EvW events by March of next year
Also, I feel so bad for Rebecca lol she must be so nervous watching Michael Pull.
She may need some CBD when I go compete for real. Lol
@@MonsterMichaelTodd 😂😂
I really want to see what the tendon looks like now but not through Ultrasound or whatever devices but instead cut open and directly examined. It fascinates me but also would give me peace of mind
Can’t wait to see you competing at KOTT
Stay Strong and keep getting healthier!
omg i want to see the evw11 card now
Proud of you buddy
7:15 “I think you elbow fouled to get to me”, next match todd’s elbow is flying like a bird 🦅 LOL
Watch again, his elbow lifted mine
@@MonsterMichaelTodd? I am talking about the round after where you pull your elbow off the back of the pad and then keep regripping and lifting your elbow. He wasn’t picking your elbow up lol.
hell yeah makes me happy how happy you are lol
Michael you've a good arm,good heart for this sport I'm blessed to of seen every war you've been through,don't give up look at the goat John brezynk so take that under your wing you've many good years to come huaghhhhhh Michael Todd!!!!!!!!!!
I would do a special training for that elbow joints after a surgery like this and I mean something he does specifically to keep mobility and flexibility, something he does forever…
Monster is back
You Amazing Monster
Corey has such potential and I believe could become better than levan if he keeps with it and keeps leveling up and stays dedicated!!
I get that you are trying to protect yourself, but that level of attitude towards your training partners is a bit meh. You weren't giving the same courtesy that you wanted from them. Felt bad for the guy that got forced to be the ref the most. Hope you get it figured out man. Good luck on your return. Still a fan.
Forced to be ref? Wrong assumption here. And he would be HIGHLY offended if I didn’t give him what I did.
Bro I'm one of the luckiest guys I know. I reffed because I was comfortable with doing it. We are all very close and are comfortable with each other's aggression as we are the most passionate group I know. Trust me when I say some amazing stuff is going on in this establishment. I am becoming a stronger athlete and person for being involved with the Monster Factory and spending time with the Monster himself!
No one is forced to be ref. It’s special wen Michael is in the zone. David wanted to be the ref! We were all there to help Michael test his bicep after after the injury. I’m sure if you broke your arm you’d be really nervous and have high stress doing the same thing that broke it to begin with. And none of us want Michael taking it easy on us we aren’t there to knit sweaters we are fucking Warriors
Low IQ
thats impressive
Hello brother Michael
I think you beat all those men pretty kick ass
Hello, congrats on your return to armwrestling! try to stay more with a person in contact don't blow through them fast. Hold them for a while like Devon does.
06:30 that sounded pretty nice rebecca
So fucking weird lol, get a female
Mike did you try with Corey?
Did you watch the video
Hey no one look at my elbow foul
14:58 Jerry got flash pinned
No comments from Main line active aww
that pronation looking like trouble
Was that an amish?
There’s a kid at my work I’d like you to pull , he’s from El Salvador and he arm wrestled a little out there before coming to America. He’s strong but I’ve put a lock on him he couldn’t pin me and I couldn’t pin him. You’d toy with him and teach him a funny lesson he’s about 240lbs I’m 170lbs
Gonna give someone an injury hitting like that. Imagine injuring someone, similar to your injury, because you wanted to hit, I bet you’d feel pretty bad
+1
Need stronger practice pullers
Curious about the effects of "vitamins" on test dummy arms? Watch this vid
Michael , kids , women)))))))))
Mmt and bagent are perfect for each other, then try Dave, if he wants to. You have no legitimacy
Hysterical 😭
@MonsterMichaelTodd wat have you done since Devon smashed you. And you thought you had legitimatcey against Levan. Go against Bagent then you will see where you fit in.
Right at the bottom
I’ll never understand why people come on this channel just to talk shit. I wonder if there is anything you’ve done that holds a candle to what this man has accomplished as an arm wrestler. I’m not a “die hard” MMT fan, but I can’t deny his accolades in the sport. Maybe you don’t like the Kings Move, which I get, but to make an effort to insult him when he’s on the road to recovery from an awful injury is just low.
@@grantholbrook9559 used to like him but he’s got a shit attitude most of the time. Hell even when you try and be positive with comments. I will always bet against him now. Lol
Michael Todd prepare himself to go back into the top of arm wrestling by beating plumbers.
Бороду сбрей, не будь бармалеем😁👍
🤣🤣🤣 micheal yo reff me also micheal not like that if you wanna still be friends 🤣🤣🤣
I bet your surgeon is watching these videos with his blindfold on. Take it easy Michael. Revision surgery is not what you want.
Mike don't be psycho for 2024...2025 will be even better...Go after Chernobyl and all the others in 2025. Keep your ROM in 2024 and don't get in tooo big a hurry.
Imagine Michael Todd cut his beard
Uh oh..here he comes. Michael Todd 6.5
Funny boy
Get back to the sport soon.
How much is Michael blasting dude is angry
