Overall, this is insane volume for a healthy young male let alone a grandpa but then again, you're not called Toddzilla for no reason. Tbh, you're primary the MAIN reason why I continue to push to better myself in hopes of someday getting at the international level despite being 31. As a mechanical engineer myself, you're one helluva role model uncle Todd!
Been catching up on your channel all day and now you post lol. You’re my coach and don’t even know it uncle Todd. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
I am a big fan of both Uncle and Irakli but... If I had to bet, I would go with Uncle Todd for sure. Come on Uncle Todd, you will bring victory ! Big love from France
Right, my max effort day is on Monday and my table time is Thursday night, try to stretch those as far as possible until I turn into Joshzilla one day 😃
What many people still don't seem to understand is that all this volume, capacity was built up through lots of years. Would be so awesome to see you in a podcast like EliteFTS with Dave Tate or a discussion with Matt Wenning. When it comes to conjugate they're hands down the best. Probably the only two guys who could add anything to what you do training-wise.
This feels like the type of workout routine an engineer would come up with. Very fascinating to see how the top guys train so different from Todd to Devon to Levon….Guess the bottom line is find what works for you .
I see Irakli will have biiig problems once again, now probably even bigger in front of his people. Is there any change on vector focus on max days or is it still heavy side pressure focused? good luck uncle and I wish you smooth preparation
Hi todd. I'm from Pakistan and a very big fan of yours. I'm a beginer I listened to your seminar in which you explained the west side barbell system. Day 1 is max Day 3 is speed with 60% of max with bands. Day 5 is volume. Where should i adjust the isometric holds..? I need your guidance. Please reply.
@@toddhutchings906 but like you said, keep the max day away from the volume day and that's the reason it's on day 1 and 5 respectively. What is needed in case of isometrics?.
Always learning from you man, wish you all the best and victory that will be i think one of the greatest of the Team West vs Team East. Wanted to ask you, i am doing improvized training at home, with self made and use tools and bands, so when i do some of them with big weights my ulnar hurts after i do set. Its not long term pain just that couple of seconds then is gone. What hurts the most is middle part of ulnar so in the middle between wrist and elbow. Any advice uncle? Go Todd!
Try a different handle or grip. Flat multi spinners had the same effect on me until I trained with them for a while. The round ones and smaller ones didn’t hurt.
Todd you going the biggest you been in a while for irakli?, your gonna need to be stronger then last time that’s for sure he’s different now but I hope you win Todd❤ team west.
@@toddhutchings906 I thank you for the video and suggestion Uncle but I have experinced that the only exercise that places pressure on elbow joint like armwrestling does, is benchpress.
@ The bench press is a low value exercise. It may have some value if you a a press/shoulder roll guy. JM Presses actually strengthen tendons and improve flexibility.
The point at which your forearms are touching your biceps aka the positive elbow stressor/stretcher portion of the JM press, you’d like your upper arm parallel to the floor, which is also 90 degrees to gravity, which is also the hardest part of any free weight movement. If your doing them sitting you won’t get the elbow stress you want because of where the weights resistance is relative to gravity specifically during the portion of rep when your elbows are stretched Might sound confusing spoken here but it’s a critical general weightlifting physics light principle to learn to be able understand what’s really getting stressed in during the beginninv middle end ranges of all different free weight exercises because of gravities relation to your muscles. Simpler example of this is when doing biceps curls standing how little do you feel your biceps when at the very bottom and very top of rep? Very Little because of biceps relation to gravity. Most effort on biceps when 90 degrees to gravity or perpendicular. NOW if you want to get fancy and you want to get closer to a normal JM press effects while seated you can get closer by removing gravity and hacking where you want maximum force with a thoughtful placed cable pulley. Unfortunately this location would roughly be behind your head and you can’t pull a straight bar like that , your best option would be a long rope pulldown attachment where you press straight outwards/ a little upwards, while seated, while the pulley attachment is close behind you, exiting around your upper back level. There’s also a cable seated bench press machine you could do a JM type press on but that’s only wide grip. If you know your angles better you can get a nice approximation on Trx/gymnastic rings. Or way easier just stick to uncle Todd’s advice. Thanks for leading me down the right path!
@@morganst.pierre thank you for that long explanation but only cable i have home is at the ceiling. Now im trying to do that safety thing with pillows for regular jm presses 😄
@toddhutchings906 Oh. But you look like 45 year old man. And you also look healthy like young man. Do you have any health conditions such as Low BP or high BP or sugar or something other ?
The 10 sets of pullups and squats is actually General Physical Preparedness, not work capacity. My apologies to Louie Simmons. May God rest his soul.
Did Louie Armwrestle at all Uncle Todd?
@ Not to my knowledge.
The toad godfather of strength 💪
Westside!!! Those tens sets are of ten reps?

❤️
have not seen your videos for a wile, good luck with irakli, also I am georgian and obviously root for him
Good to support your country. Even against your favorite arm wrestler. 😉
Uncle Todd please upload the video of your max 1RM wrist wrench side pressure right before EvsW16
Hello uncle todd. I am georgin and rooting for itakli but i respect you as a sportsmen and as human in general. Happy new year and marry Christmas.
Well, this is both informative and inspiring. Best of luck
Love it, Happy New Year!
1:52 Max effort day AND table time on the same day? Sheesh

Elevates testosteron. 😂

Yeah!!! New highest all time peak coming this year. A 155 lb wrist wrench sidepressure PR would be 🔥 too
Another good video buddy
Happy New Year
Again, I cannot wait for your match. All the best sir. Great shout out to the dad's. We need sweetie days too.
Todd's whiteboard does more workouts than the chat ahoo ahoo ahoo
You're simply the best!
You’re the Man! Good luck in Tbilisi
The poster has you In the eastern jersey, even if your not on team west im still rooting for you Todd.
Thanks for all you do.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for you💪.
Thanks Uncle Todd!

Protecting my hand is the focus.
Isometrics are game changers. Are you doing body weight squats or actual back squats on the SS day?
Hope you crush him in Feb!
Just normal squats with a straight bar.
You are a monster Uncle Todd! Happy new year. I hope you and yours are well big guy. Keep stackin V's baby
Hi todd.

Day 1 is max
Day 3 is speed with 60% of max with bands.

Where should i adjust the isometric holds..?
I need your guidance.
Please reply.
There are 4 other days. Do Isometrics on one of the
@@toddhutchings906 thanks sir.
I really appreciate the help.

@@toddhutchings906 thanks. Huge respect.
-"Honey, how many sweetie days are there in your new training program?"
Me:

Systematic, planned, cant' wait, it'll be huge if you beat him again

TH-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... if I do that for 20 years, maybe I can be a champion as well 😎
😄
Who has a stronger sidepressure, you or Dave?
Probably Dave.
Keep going Champ
Where does the jm press fit into all this, or, is it something you no longer need to do?
Elbows are pain free for years now. Hellbows and pushups seem to be keeping them that way.
Todd you going the biggest you been in a while for irakli?, your gonna need to be stronger then last time that’s for sure he’s different now but I hope you win Todd❤ team west.
How is he different besides being smaller?
@ Lol.
Sweetie time is so important to staying strong and focused ❤💪🏻🔥😍
hey uncle todd, I heard that bench press can improve my armwrestling, is it true, if so how much should I bench press to come tiny bit close to elites
th-cam.com/video/GjtRN2wBzJc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_n424FoHz3y-jiAV
I do not recommend bench pressing.

Hello, do you think can we do jm presses while sitting, behind the head? Would it work? Thanks.
I do not think so.

The best 🎉🎉🎉
uncle , whats your opinion on sidepressure machines. The one that Travis bagent uses .
Those always hurt my elbow when the weights are heavy.
When you do capacity everyday. What is that? Generally what kind of work out is that?
Farmers walk with 25 pound plates
There is a video explaining it
Oh shit. I swear my friggen ears don’t work. Thanks man.
New video from Uncle Todd 😍🔥
Tuesdays are power days!
Interesting. For your Monday and Wednesday 10 sets, how many reps are you doing per set?
6-10
No JM press days?
My elbows are pain free for years now. Hellbows and pushups seem to be doing the trick.
3 practices a week?
👍
@ how do you recover unc?
@ all that volume leads to recovery.
What is your current age ?
58
@toddhutchings906
Oh. But you look like 45 year old man.
And you also look healthy like young man.
Do you have any health conditions such as Low BP or high BP or sugar or something other ?
@ 😂
I’m not going to publicly list any possible medical conditions 😂
I hope you understand.
Goodluck ❤
thats a god damn hairy arm
Irakli forgot he was your nephew, so you have to chase him into skinnyville to remind the lad.
Wassup Uncle Todd. You're gonna destroy Irakli my boy!
🐌 💕💕

Sorry Tod but there’s nothing you can do against Georgian power 😆
Just like last time❓😉
😂 yeah, u did well last time
Get Some Hilarious
Terrible handwriting. Must be an engineer.
😂
this is BS armwrestling is all about genes lmao
