Brian starting to look more comfortable. I think Neil is better for him than someone like Devon due to his familiarity with strongmen.
Toddzilla started late.
It's just personal competition & fun.
You just have to approach it keeping in mind Blood Pressure, clotting, tendons, ligaments, bone, rather than a balls out kid.
And in that manner it's even more of a challenge.
I think the bigger problem is finding a club...
Like... my gym has an arm wrestling table... that really just becomes a water bottle stand. I've never seen anyone use it.
May dig up on of my old BJJ belts and do some arm wrestling cable work just to see how my arms responds. Back when I was really benching heavy, I developed some elbow issues, but they've felt great since moving to more machine work.
Super matches confirmed for The Shaw Classic in August.
Eddie Hall vs Robert Oberst
Sarah Bachman vs Gabby V
Brian Shaw vs Brandon Allen

SMOE is turning into a pretty impressive event.
Its already the number 2 strongman show (and honestly is a better comp than WSM)... now adding arm wrestling should get tons of eyes on it.
In other news... I did order a couple arm wrestling attachments to start to build my hands/forearms again at the gym.
2 weeks in to adding in some arm wrestling specific lifting... and my forearms and hands are fucking cooked.
Been adding in some alternating volume and 1RM work for rising, cupping, side pressure, pronation, and supination.
That shit on top of my normal program is a killer.

Hey yo Chritty how are the gains coming along?
How do I work on the topside of my forearm? The bottom/underneath side of my forearm is seeing some good improvements since adding some forearm specific workouts, but I'm not seeing the same results on the topside of my forearm.
