And DANG 282 Mike Todd!!!! m gonna have to say Mike Todd Yep that's what i said. After i watched the Arm TV footage i was like whoa that dude looks huge. He must of been working out and beefing up for Arnold's for sure. And yeah i can't really tell in the footage if Dennis looked smaller but i'll take Neil's word for it since he is there in person.

Cyplenkov is off No way I think Michael Todd is on. I would love to see Michael vs Devon in a super match if Devon can't pin Michael right away big trouble for Devon.

guys i know this is an American board and do not take it personal but just pause the video at 1.21 and you will see that only near half way humerus bone of Michael is touching the pad while the arm is straight and shoulder is hanging below table.is what i say true or not? my intention has nothing to do with Michael or Denis but if we compete events with different rules in arm wrestling then that will harm our sport.Arnolds is an international event and it should have international rules and tables.the height difference between the elbow and pin pads should be 2inches while here it is less than 2 inches (i will admit that i am wrong about it if someone takes the pics while measuring them) and some of the uncalled pins happenned because of this difference.pin pads are not angled and short and there would be parellel pins at WAF table.
one of the most prestigious international events in the World should follow the international rules of our sport.same exact positions should not be considered in different ways in different events.
once again do not take it personal as my intention has nothing to do with athletes whom i use only as example to clear my point.

i must mention that Michael would have won this match without needing to be in that position.also why would he not take advantage of it if not against the rules at Arnolds? if he wins today i will rank him no 3 in the World after Devon and Jerry.
hopefully i did not touch anyone's patriotic feelings as my intention is about having standard rules.

same here,from 1.37 till 1.53 George's elbow is off from the pad,many times.and his humerus bone is inclined down.
ITEM 4
2) Competitors cannot drop the competing shoulder below the level of the elbow pad when in a neutral or losing position. This will be considered a dangerous position. The neutral position defined as the starting position down to 2/3 of the way to the losing side of the table. The humerus bone of the competing arm will not be inclined down and therefore elevating the elbow and dropping the shoulder below the elbow pad.
again,nothing personal and if George wins today i will rank him above Tainov.

I would agree that the pin pads are extremely short

Sorry, but I didn't get a warm and fuzzy watching Micheal and George win those matches either....hanging off and nearly under the table at times. I'm sure they can beat most folks straight up and clean, but this guy is not a fan of that style at all. A win is a win, but that $hit was ugly and would just look weird to the non armwrestler on tv.......

As much as I hate to say it I agree Giles. That body drop is no fun to watch at all, sorry guys, M Todd is the man but that just is not entertaining to me.

Yeah Not a big fan of that style armwrestling . Isnt there the finals today? I wouldnt count out Denis just yet , as he did have a war with Richard before losing to Michael. Denis certainly underestimated the NA or USA heavyweights if He came over here Less Juiced than normal as Neil was trying to avoid on camera
