Dude if Ryan were 70% of Lachlan, Ryan himself would need to be ~ 43% stronger to match Lachlan. In reality if Ryan were 43% stronger everywhere he would hold Lachlan like a child. I truly believe 5-10% can appear a big difference in this sport.
@@ryannelson3753 exactly. There wouldn't even be a 10% gap between the super heavies and some of the smaller guys. 5% is massive, it feels like you've hit a wall. You have to be very closely matched for it to be close match.
The true prodigy. 19 years old after 2 years of training. Schoolboy was hyped 10x more when he was even older than Riekerd and had 6-7 years of training.
It’s from training like a complete buffoon for years. Everyone has always told him that this would happen (an injury) because of that, and guess what? It happened.
Reikard is a natural. I bet he can beat schoolboy right now. His center table game is super strong . Ryan, ahh don’t you and Reikard go train with Devon for a week or two in Canada
I cant wait to see riekard on the grand stage very very soon. This guy was born to arm wrestle. The scary part is that hes good every where. He has a devon style cobra coil hook, and an insane hand and top roll to go with it. He can press as well?? holy hell! this guy is coming for that heavy weight class. I think a decent match would be against guys like rino, bacho, sandris etc The guys just needs slightly more experience
@mallhi5557 True, but if you notice many strong armwrestlers gas out quicker than others - a lot of strength based cardio (pushups, pullups, etc.) are key to developing that kind of endurance and stamina.
@adeeltk they gas out because of bad positions. Ofc, endurance comes into play when u are in a better position, working less than the other guy. Dave chafee being a prime example of a strong guy ending up in bad positions all the time. But yes, with time everything will come. Super promising.
I get so excited whenever I see these table trainings with yourself, lachlan, and riekerd. I think it would be cool if occasionally you introduced a fourth puller in the mix just to change it up from time to time.
I doubt it, Michael Todd was shown easily repping like a 240 kg squat with not much effort. Levan did even more I believe. Then there’s Leonidas who competes and Brian Shaw now entering. Wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Georgians can do 250-300kg. I doubt Riekard is squatting close to 300kg at his age.
I know you were saying it’s hard for you to train and get good a side pressure because your shoulders, do you know what’s causing the pain? I was struggling with shoulder pain for a while and found out that it was a problem in my lats and I needed to loosen them. Don’t know if it’ll work for you just wondering.
Alex wouldn’t go within 100 yards of Riekerd. There’s zero chance for that match. Alex is very selective about SB’s matches and there’s no way in hell a 115kg guy who can BEAT him will ever get that match.
Remember 3-4 years ago when Ermes went to Dubai and pulled with Larry Wheels? He was cracking everyone’s wrists w/o any effort, and that’s what we’re witnessing against Lachlan
Ermes has been world class for a decade. He was always better than ongarbaev for instance. It wasn’t just when he was pulling with Larry 3-4 years ago that he was on people’s radar lol
@@geo_beans absolutely. I believe he's gonna be a tough one to beat in the very near future for the top elites, especially if he stays in the heavyweight division. The super heavyweights is a tough division but eventually he will be able to good there too with the top guys
This is my first time really seeing riekard…. My only question is why has this man not been to EVW yet? Like this is ridiculous. Nothing against Lachlan, he is a world class athlete and riekard pretty much has his way with lachy and Ryan.. I mean am I crazy for thinking riekard could give Paul linn a great match??? And just for the record I think Paul linn in a top 3 guy in his catogory. Linn is ridiculously good, but I really think riekard could give him a good match.. people on here talking about schoolboy… that match wouldn’t be close. Riekard would 3-0 him. How this man hasn’t already been to EVW.. and someone said he was only 22 😧 that’s insane! We could be looking at a legitimate prodigy.. I don’t say that lightly either.. very excited to see this man’s armwrestling journey! Can you imagine what he will be in 1-2 more years.. he could already be In the top 10 easily but in 1-2 years he could be a EVW world champ and really put Australia on the map!! Protect this man ryan
@@MrCharrrles clearly, you aren’t looking at HOW they are practicing. They linked up with mock starts while they were fresh. “Practice means nothing” isn’t some type of template language to just throw around. You need to have eyes that are able to SEE the specific practice and you need to be able to see a blatant power gap when it exists. It’s quite amazing how people desperately want to make all things equivalent at all times. “Practice” isn’t always the same. That shouldn’t need to be explained.
This is exactly what Lachlan needed to get to the next level, hasn’t had a training partner within 30% of his ability for years
That’s injuries for ya 😢
“Within 30%” lol

Driving through Lachy's hook is utterly insane. Rik is on the righteous path to being a genuine contender.
The true prodigy. 19 years old after 2 years of training. Schoolboy was hyped 10x more when he was even older than Riekerd and had 6-7 years of training.
Riekerd way more gifted strength wise
schoolboy was a junior world champ, deserved hype
riekard is so young and already dominating Lachlan. He's definitely a World level athlete.
@@ThatsNicePodcast and who are you?.
@@ThatsNicePodcast i mean he is, he's a professional rugby player from South Africa under contract in Australia :D
It’s practice. Calm down lol.
Get this man an international match.
Riekerd is a special athlete.. Keep an eye on him Ryan.. Dont let him try to move too fast and end up with a nagging injury.. Hes got time
Ryan from only side pressure training to "my side pressure is non existent" lol
Shoulder injury will do that.

@@ryanbluebowenstem cells my man. Save up the coin and get them from Artem Taranenko
It’s from training like a complete buffoon for years. Everyone has always told him that this would happen (an injury) because of that, and guess what? It happened.
Riekerd's table IQ and overall intelligence is gonna be what makes him a champion.
Lachlan just lost his number one spot, Riekard is the real deal.. Bright future there 💪
He didn't because this isn't official. But he could probably beat him officially
@@gigachad-rx3zv agree, I can see more potential from Riekerd in the future given also that hes still young 💪
@@gigachad-rx3zvprobably? It would be a slaughter.
well he is really a saffa not an aussie
Schoolboy vs Riekerd?
This sounds interesting
@natepolidoro4565 I know right? 👌🏼
Why not ? Got to start somewhere. School boy doesn't want any of that !
Maybe for his second match. But what a match that looks 2 b
Schoolboy won’t take that match, but we’d all love to see it.
Reikard is a natural. I bet he can beat schoolboy right now. His center table game is super strong .
Ryan, ahh don’t you and Reikard go train with Devon for a week or two in Canada
No larrats, please.
Dont wait for the call.
Go to the challenger series..engin said thats what he wants to see
Soon vs Rino would be goooddddd
Are you paying attention engin 👀 this guy deserves a shot at the top 10 of his weight
So when's the rematch between mario and riekard?

From what I've seen of him in tournaments, he needs endurance, too.
I agree!
@@adeeltk endurance is just a by product of strength and specialise conditioning only achieved through arm wrestling. He’ll get there.

Riekerd is someone we're gonna see in EvW/KOTT in 2025 for sure.
Hey Ryan, do you reckon Riekerd would be better off at 115kg or super-heavy? Seems like he could do both.
Dude I cant fucking wait to see Reikerd in some matches.
Porkchop vs Riekerd would be a good match i think. If he crushes Porkchop easily then he can go against the next tier of competitors.
thats an obvious mismatch. at the level he already is, he deserves schoolboy immediately.
@@valitsemllaluokanavahyvaks3556 Porkchop would get annihilated.
Ryan and Reikard should travel to Arizona and train with John Brzenk for a few weeks
Agree on that.
ryan in the background "nuttin" 😂 2:38
4:30 Ayo what is lil bro doin in the background
Damn riekard is super strong
Ultraboy casually lifting tons in the background 😂
Cant wait to see this guy compete at east vs west
Riekerd probably has the strongest legs in all of Armwrestling, with those rugby legs
Lachy used to squat like 300kg
I doubt it, Michael Todd was shown easily repping like a 240 kg squat with not much effort. Levan did even more I believe. Then there’s Leonidas who competes and Brian Shaw now entering.

@@haircroak3332squat is just one leg strength motion. There's a 100 ways to test leg strength
These guys are good armwrestlers but I don't think they have enough people to train with. Always the same 3 guys.

I was struggling with shoulder pain for a while and found out that it was a problem in my lats and I needed to loosen them. Don’t know if it’ll work for you just wondering.

I want to see Riekerd vs Rino Masic
Let’s see him at EvW vs Schoolboy.
Ryan can you please help organizing the match between Schoolboy vs Riekard? That match would be nuts
Alex would never agree. For the next year they are only booking matches they know they can win.
Alex wouldn’t go within 100 yards of Riekerd. There’s zero chance for that match. Alex is very selective about SB’s matches and there’s no way in hell a 115kg guy who can BEAT him will ever get that match.
Schoolboy has no chance against Riekard atm imo
Didn’t realize how big riekard is until this video, he’s a monster
Riekard "we need to work on your side pressure. No, look... genuinely... It's fuckin trash"
I thought thats what he said first time i heard 😂
Do we have a new number 1 in Australia?
