Arm Wrestling!

How many wins you had, losses, draws? (I don't believe in draws myself!)...

Primary school to sixth form, 100+ arm wrestles...1 defeat...ended up beating 'em back anyway.

Uni..50+ armwrestles so far, 2 defeats..beat one of 'em back...the others a tank of a guy with INSANE wrists...can hold him out for a good few minutes, but he's like a piece of iron.

Any people round here that just can't refuse a challenge when it presents itself?!

im crap at them and im not exactly week, i can hold out for about 10min thogh lol but just carnt get there arm down but that could be because of my stupidly small hands and wrists

i cheat at them so nt many losses i gave a mate thdt does it as a sport though hes about my weight (10 stone) he does the world championships nd stuff last he talked about it he was number1 in britain and number 3 in the world for his weight group. there wasnt any one at work last year that could beat him it was funy to watch people try though. scott strong hes called honest to god hes a biker as well

Is this a joke?

Win some, lose some, i blame having long arms, everyone knows short arms are better for arm wrestling.

Lol! Funniest thread in ages.

I am rubbish at arm wrestling which is odd as I am into bodybuilding and the gym quite a lot so am pretty strong.

I don't do it anymore as I pulled my forearms muscles twice doing it and then couldn't train for 2 weeks!

I like a good arm wrestle now and again. Every year I have a Christmas get-together with a bunch of uni mates and it's not long before we're seeing who's got stronger / weaker over the year - I'm sure this year will be no exception

Last time I arm-wrestled one mate we were in a pub near Covent Garden and going at it for quite a while - I could hardly move my arm for about two weeks after that. I gave myself a nose bleed straining too.

One of our mates is a Nigerian lad, about 10 stone, but stupidly strong. None of us can beat him.

There was a guy at our uni who was a mature student from Portugal who was built like Van Damme - he was a proper serious martial artist and was the strongest guy I've ever met. Three of us tried to move his arm once and couldn't do it

lol my dad used to be like that when i was younger i was about 7-9 stone and he could lift me straight in front of him arms dead straight and all that for about 5min flat...... carnt do it any more now hes a old git can still do a full stack of weights on bench press thogh but he was never good at arm wrestling so i guess it has more to do with technique than strength

haha. Done that once too! But that was when I'd nose bleed easy.

Yeeh they're a weird one. From my experience height and weight don't seem to make that much difference. I'm 5"10 and 83kg, and don't exactly have the biggest arms in the world. Also gym goers don't seem to have much of an advantage.

Its part technique, part strength, with hands/wrist/foreram/arm/shoulder/back in that order of importance Ive read.

I broke my right wrist twice at the age of 7 and 10! I wonder if that gives some sort of freakish advantage as it heals stronger or something? Nothing like a good arm wrestle tho!

I think of that scene in The Fly and decide not to arm wrestle.
