Oldie but Goodie - Your Favorite Armwrestler

[John Wilson]

Years ago Dave Devoto used to ask a question of the people he interviewed. The question was "Who is your favorite armwrestler?"


My favorite armwrestler has always been Bill Sinks.

If there was a way to bottle "heart" and sell it, the bottle would have Bill's picture on the label. The man refuses to believe that he will not win the match. No matter how ugly the war gets, Bill just digs deeper and does the un-doable.

Favorite puller that i like to watch gotta be Selearis...head games and intensity is unmatched.

Its a Tie for me. Toddzilla/Kevin Bongard. Todd was truly the "Phenom". Accomplished so much, and quickly. Bongard, he would be the guy that you could take to an N.F.L locker room and win $10,000 in bets.

[Felix Bürger]

yep Todd Hutchings !!

[TK]

Ron Bath.

Bagent / Selearis

A lot of my style comes from these 3 guys. I must have watched hours of their footage! To me IMO they are the best!

[Joe Musselwhite]

Old school ( 1850 - 1956)? Mac Batchelor!

Modern school ( 1957 - 1986) Al Turner!

Current School (1987 - present) John Brzenk!

Engin Terzi will always be number one on this list for me but there are a few guys that fall closely behind him on my favorites list. in no order:

Simon Berriochoa, Vern Martel, Barb Zalepa, Tim Bresnan ( aside from his fkd up pranks lol ), Judy Dodd, Devin Bair..and of course my pretty coach Johnny Wilson.


There are some guys that I can't help but want to help or root for as well..

Josh Handeland. ( definition of DRIVE right here )

Bobby Green

Ethan Fritsche

Brent Rakers

Danial Worely

Man i don't know....lol I have a lot I guess

[Jimmy Van Orden]

My favorites include Mo Baker, who may have been the best super-heavy ever(?), and Johnny Walker, who seemed so invicible (until John Brzenk came along). Jimmyvan

[Josh Dale]

John Brzenk of course! Outside of that Arsen because he gives hope to us top rollers without Rob Vigeant size hands and an ape index of 10.

[John Parton]

John Breznk, not only for his pulling, but for his attitude. I have seen him pull some who acted like real jerks over the years, and while he has gotten fired up, I have never seen him respond as most would do. He never whines about the grip or makes excuses when he loses. Taking nothing away from Arsen's amazing performance against John, but he was a few weeks away from having back surgery. Know personally how diabling that is to a pullers back pressure and ability to twist, I was impressed that he never once mentioned it

[Josh 'Butcher' Bratton]

Besides Brzenk, it would be a tie between Richard Lupkes,Marcio Barboza,and Roman Tsindeliani. Just couldnt make my mind up.

[Chris Ceci]

Cool post John. Without a doubt, Jason Vale "The Kid From Queens". He was the first armwrestler to invite me to his house for my first practice. What a day that was, my training partners were a young Jason Vale, Mike Selearis, Danny Habig, " who that day grabbed the rafters in Jay's basement by pinch gripping his fingertips and proceeded to do 12 pullups. Jason has overcome many obstacles, he has a big heart, strong will, and never gives up.

[Carl Bowers]

Andreas Rundström, Devon Larratt, Tim Bresnan, and Alexey Voyevoda are always favorites to watch.
