ALMOST 1 hour of just LPL? NICE!! HE SHOULD DO 2 HOURS LONG ONE TO SHOW THAT IS NOT A FLUKE

I love it. "Here is a box of locks most people would find impossible to pick. I pick them daily for practice." Just amazing.

I saw a 53 minute video from LPL, and my brain just automatically assumed it was actually a 53 second video - undoubtedly featuring the wave rake!

And now you know why he's so good at picking. Endless hours of practice and training. Keep in mind what he said: he does this multiple times per day with different sets to maintain his skills. That's some serious dedication. I had assumed he practiced constantly, but I hadn't imagined he go so far as to have multiple sets of locks that specifically target his weak points. I am seriously impressed!🤯

The Lock Picking Lawyer is a TERMINATOR! He is a freaking machine! On a sidenote, I am really, really looking forward to the April Fools' Day video as always! Thank you for creating such a gem.

this is the legendary video where LPL says "difficult" and "careful" the most

Master Lock sees an hour. They cheer, then they find out it his whole practice bin.

57 min LPL ASMR video? this is how im going to sleep for the next year.

Love the idea of this video. It shows all his doubters (as if LPL cared) that the path to greatness starts with a pick and dozens of locks (all for just a specific scenario). This is a technique and a skill set honed over hundreds(if not thousands) of hours of practice

This was really enjoyable. Sometimes your shorts make it look so effortless that one could overlook how much practice developing a skill does take.

oversetting is my most common hurdle. LPL says he uses the heaviest tension that he can get away with, which offers more feedback, but imo also increases the likelihood of an overset. Very much a fine art of feel. Rock on, good sir.

This is like a year's worth of LPL content. Gotta ration it well and keep some for rainy days.

This is oddly relaxing to watch. Also, it is very reassuring. We often seem you picking locks like magic. Here we can see that even a master lockpicker has to work to open locks, and has to practice daily to keep his skills up. Thank you

We need more videos like this. A practical and real view of it being done live.

Oh boy LPL, that's just what the doctor ordered! I've missed just watching you pick, but going on for this long was fantastic. I'd love to see more picking videos like these, they offer a lot of insight to all levels of pickers. Thank you.

Like everyone else in this thread, it was a delight to watch you go through some of your more challenging locks. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to show us some of your routine... (And thank you for showing us that even you have a mortal side that struggles with some locks, even if only for a few seconds 😉) 🤗💜

a 53 minute video... and its pure lockpicking joy!!! This is amazing LPL, thank you for this gift from you and well done on honing your skills so much!!!

Practicing the art is key, thank you for the videos and making this craft much easier to understand.

This is gourmet content right here!. Thanks for the show. I am going to put this on a big screen and enjoy some pop corn and soda with it
