he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Following on from Martin being asked for an arm wrestle in his thread about the pub encounter. Do any of you do it? I don't. I am rubbish at it, and had my shoulder out doing it when I was waiting for surgey (stupid I know) I have found that very few of the guys I know who train actually like to do it, and dont see it as a legit test of strength. It seems to be more of a guy down the pub type thing. Just wondered what others feelings on it were | ||

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | A friend of mine has a metal plate in his arm after someone challenged him to an arm wrestle. He says that all he remembers of the challenge was an unbelievably loud SNAP, and then waking up in hospital. | ||

Man up and have a fuckin coffee Member 2086, 9717 posts SQ 340, BP 252.5, DL 300892.5 kgs @ 158kgs UnEq | i loved it did it all my life from about 10 years old , everywhere schools ,pubs fetes ,and with anyone ..............but given up as it destroys the arm for days afterwards ,to anyone thinking "i bet i could beat the top pros " go try them i thought i was unbeatable untill in 2008 took up the offer from a world champion who was challenging allcomers for £50 if you beat him once ...........it honestly was a very humbling experience i couldnt believe how he beat me so phenomenally i begged him for another go, and another ,with the same result !!!!! It felt like my arm was tied to a train | ||

Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22056 posts | I'm pretty good at arm wrestling, but it always gives me tennis elbow, even if I win easily (which is nearly always the case). I used to be able to beat an ex training partner, who was MUCH bigger than me and statically stronger. Some guy came to our gym once who claimed to be some sort of undefeated arm wrestling hero. I beat him (more than once) and he was never seen again! The only guy who's ever beaten me (as an adult) is Steve Pateman, the sumo guy. Apparently he was once 2nd in Britain in arm wrestling. | ||
