another banger, love how you let every puller express himself. I also love how interested and how much of a fan are you, I hate when during an intreview someone looks at his phone
One thing about Alizhan's technique that I've been paying attention to is his foot position. His front foot is tip toed against the table leg at the start. He'll set his back foot way back and be on his tip toes, and on go, he'll slide it forward and swing his hips under the table. Sometimes the back foot will end up swinging into the middle bar of the table. If he bounces off his opponent, he'll quickly switch to a press and put his leg up on the table and place the back foot on the same side as the foot that is pressing the table leg so that he's falling over towards the pin pad. This constant shifting of balance is what forces him to be fast. I've been practicing it myself and falling over like that forces you to generate power quickly.
@@A_Mystery_Man astute. Well done. Using your posture and set ups to fall into your position activates an autonomous part of our brain to prevent us from falling. Activated alotta muscle very rapidly without actively thinking about it.
Lachlan is spot on about Devon and why he acts the way he does. Part of it is promotion but deep down i also believe it has to do with him trying to simulate part of the adrenaline rush he used to get.
Lach is dead on about training. This weekend I trained with a guy and it felt like I would kill him in a match. BUT, I know for a fact that he would rip my arm off during a real ready go. Fatigue, staying out of dominant lanes, humbleness all give decepting appearances when it comes to training.
Hey I really enjoyed this interview thank you for the fantastic time stamps❤ Do you have a link or something I could search to find your East versus West reviews that you talked about at the end. I only see like 12 videos for this channel so far😊
Soon I will upload videos going over matches, I need permission from Engin but I might even be posting them on the East vs West official channel. Me and Engin will have a meeting in Istanbul.
The Dadikyan/Prudnik example is ridiculous. They've clearly both been using for a while prior to their match, and to act like that progress just disappears is wild to say - "oh yeah, I'm natty cause I've been off gear for 4 weeks."
@@MyThelema wrong. Wasn’t the question that was asked. Didn’t say they’d be as if they’re natty natty. Ehh I’m done, yall are dumb as shit just hearing your own stories.
Lachlan is a strong competitor, but his replies in these comments are childish and he seems to be jealous of Riekard. Riekard will soon be the best coming from Australia, if he isn’t already. After watching him pull Lachlan, I believe he already is. His potential and natural strength are huge and he’s young.
I'm a fan of this dude. Probably the main dude I'm interested in from the whole Bowen & pals gang. Cool customer on the table and has some exciting matches. I respect people who don't bullshit all the time.
@@theapocilip Just the few people I see pop up from Australia... clearly Bowen pushed the hardest for a media presence, but there are a few. I just mean visible Aussies
Nothing locked in yet, Engin said we'll have a meeting and see. I think with this trajectory its inevitable I'll be doing something for them eventually.
Kurdecha is of my favorites. Brings a lot of energy to the table. I remember Corey West coming out at EVW and he was super quiet and boring and was lame. The last show he was loud and pumped up and so much more entertaining.
@@ArnoldLarsen90lol what? Riekerds last AWE he was massively carved and shoulders not square. The last fair start he had was when i reffed him and Mario at nationals… which Mario won. Open your eyes
@@lachlanadair1989It’s great watching you pull but I’ve witnessed Riekerd pull right through you as well. He seems to have a great attitude too. Lots of potential from him. You as well.
@@Jdm5299 no, you cherry picked and didn’t finish it. Which makes sense for you to do considering you take training pulls as competition data. Life must be simple with an IQ under 85 🤷🏻♂️😂
@@Jdm5299 see, if you had a brain… you’d of sourced data/studies to retort with but instead you deflect. Further demonstrating my opinion of you. I’d say do better but this appears to be the best you have. 😬
I don't think it matters how he talks about riekerd being late etc. Riekerd was fresh vs fresh against Ryan and Ryan couldn't move him anywhere in several pulls. Riekerd will destroy lachlan in supermatch
@@lachlanadair1989Lachlan, you whining and crying in these comment’s make you look stupid. You clearly hate that Riekard is younger and stronger than you. It’s one thing to be competitive. It’s another thing entirely to be a punk. Your attitude alone makes me glad to see Riekard growing so strong at such a young age. Riekard is the kind of man that would make a good champion. New number 1 in Australia 🇦🇺. You can probably learn from him.
@@lachlanadair1989 that is kind of my point though. I don’t think they’re in the same category. This might be the closest this match could be with Genadi coming off injury
i've seen it many times myself during 20 years where 200kg natural bench guys hop on gear and end up 220-230 so ~10-15%. 300kg deadlifters climb to 330-340 when they go from ipf to untested, so ~10%. That is what most people get but there have been 20-30% performance increase on hyper responders. Truth is still that world level talent who deadlifts 400kg on stiff bar will still deadlift 320-330 naturally, so ~15-20%. Also if you take best natural strongment in heavily tested leagues, they will log press ~160-170kg and world best in untested will press ~200kg+, so percent difference there isn't more than ~20%
It's because armwrestling is a tendon , smaller muscles sport. Steroids don't build tendons or hand size, and has little effect on your pronator size . Steroids work well with big muscle groups like chest, biceps , back. The muscles used for armwrestling are just don't really benefit that much from roids, its why a guy like Larry Wheels gets crushed by nearly everyone.
@@SumppaI know a natural dude that did a 155kg strict press, and another one who did 220kg bench. SO yeah, even if i kill myself with juice genetic still cames out atop
My hands were 5 inches from touching my shoulder when my arms were 2 inches smaller than they are now. Now my hands are 6 to 7 inches from touching. It's actually hard to touch my face now
34:52 Rino told you that buddy .

Be careful not to break your arm. Alizhan has steel tendons that can handle it
"very small hand. but GOD DAMN does he know how to use it" i laughed out loud.
Glad you picked that one up, went over everyone else’s head
Lachlan is always a great interview, fantastic questions as always
Lachlan is spot on about Devon and why he acts the way he does. Part of it is promotion but deep down i also believe it has to do with him trying to simulate part of the adrenaline rush he used to get.
Hope to see levan and Ermes or Jerry here but it’s nice that Engin approves these vidoes keep up the good work

haha yea they build there strength over 5 years blasting gear and then all of a sudden there "natty". very stupid take
You sign the devil's contract when you hop on gear. Once you're on it, it's for life. They are definitely on at least a TRT dose
Uhh the example was literally for athletes being on and then hopping off… was literally a perfect example. Use your ears bud
@@lachlanadair1989 You're talking about these guys as if they hop off gear for a short period of time, they'd be natural. Stop the cope, bud.

Great channel, and interviews!
great content dude keep going and improving
great interview
Big fan of Lachlan. Unbelievably smart when it comes to training advice and body mechanics and a very friendly guy.
Love seeing these interviews Henry, keep up the good work
I hope I didn't say anything clip worthy XD
@@HenryNehring ahahahha 😂😂 📸
I agree wtih Lachlan, your questions were good, I watched the whole video! Keep it up.
Prudnik on gear crushed Todd Hutchins and the next year when he was off the gear he got crushed by Todd.
lachlan is pretty badass, thanks for this interview, i got to know him better
Great interview
I like Lachlan, he seems like a straight to the point guy
Nice Henry, keep up the good work. And congrats for getting the gig at EvW 15... It's gonna be epic...
Nothing locked in yet, Engin said we'll have a meeting and see. I think with this trajectory its inevitable I'll be doing something for them eventually.
@HenryNehring amazing.. hopefully, you do .
Lachi is such a cool dude!
UA-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... Lachy vs Shark 🦈 oh boy!! IF Riekerd isn't beating Lachy today, i think it's eventual in time.
You are a decent interviewer, bro. Really like the questions you give. Keep it up
Kurdecha is of my favorites. Brings a lot of energy to the table. I remember Corey West coming out at EVW and he was super quiet and boring and was lame. The last show he was loud and pumped up and so much more entertaining.
Bro is going to run out of arm wrestlers to interview at this rate.
Impossible
Id like to see that reikard vs lachlan
Riekerd is untouchable on right hand in Australia at this very moment. End of
I like this guy😅
And what are your thoughts on Lachlan... 🤣
should've asked about Krasi
Riekerd beat lachlan today in a real supermatch, mark my word.
Yup. In a fair setup where Lachy doesnt get to carv in a ton every start Riekerd just plows through him.
@@ArnoldLarsen90lol what? Riekerds last AWE he was massively carved and shoulders not square. The last fair start he had was when i reffed him and Mario at nationals… which Mario won. Open your eyes

@@KentuckyArmBattles one day, he will beat me. Absolutely. He has huge potential. But not today and not for a while yet.
If riekard doesnt already beat lachlan, it wont take long before he does.
Lachlan is my little buddy.
A little bit more than 10% buddy
Tis a typical response. I won’t speak on exceptions as they don’t confirm the rule 😉
3:38 "There's no real way to grow your tendons," except HGH, which clearly all the supers are abusing.
Often causes carpal tunnel, look it up. If you’re gonna quote me, do it properly.

Is Michael really on a tear though? Tell me Genadi doesn’t beat all the same opponents
Two seperate topics you’ve amalgamated… Michael’s been very active and winning. Genadi has been injured. But ok 👍🏼

Steroids only 10%? If anybody on steroids could stop using, and still perform at 90% of their peak on steroids I would believe it.

Steroids will not make you a better arm wrestler unless you are already a good arm wrestler
I’m so sick of “steroids are overrated” like do these guys even know levan? Or ermes?
Steroids are only 1 component of PEDs. The question was steroids, specifically. 😉
Lmaoaa all the hate for Polish arm wrestlers 😂
How the f can you touch you shoulder lachy. Im not even close with only 19 inch arms
mine are 14.5 and if they were maybe an inch bigger i dont think I could... crazy that he still can
My hands were 5 inches from touching my shoulder when my arms were 2 inches smaller than they are now. Now my hands are 6 to 7 inches from touching. It's actually hard to touch my face now
Lol you must be trolling
finally an intelligent armwrestler
The hawk tuah of arm wrestling
