All depends on how tired each contestant is... I say Lattimer and Dixon kill each other and Logsdon takes the overall but impossible to say without being there. What about the 176 and 154 class winners?
Left handed I say Shawn wins the overalls, assuming, of course, that he won the supers left handed, which I am guessing he did.

Congrats to Bobby Green on the win ! No Excuses , he was the better Puller that day. We both want a re-match to solidify this thing now !
We both were injured weeks before this Match and he did a better job of getting himself healed up and ready to Pull than I did. Injuries are part of the game. Part of being a Great Arm Wrestler is knowing how to fight through and condition those injuries so your ready to go come game time. I will be ready next time , lets get it ON ! Next Top Roll !
Loved meeting you Lattimer, if your reading this ! Man you are a BEAST and you proved a lot of people including myself WRONG about how you could compete with Zinna.

Thanks Todd, before Bobby Green and I Pulled , I hadn't Pulled anyone at all or even practiced after I got my Elbow re- injured at the Ronnie Coleman Classic. I was doing a lot of Power Lifting and Stuff that was not hurting my Elbows to train for Bobby Green and just giving my Elbow time to heal.
I didn't know how my Elbow was going to re-act but it felt really good and I had my Wife Pull on it with both of her arms and it felt like my Elbow wasn't hurting. But then in the first match with Bobby it Flared up instantly and I knew I was screwed.
That is why I told Don I was going to quit for a Year, because I was thinking, geez if I took off this much time and my Elbow still wasn't healed up than maybe I just need to give it up for a while.
But later on during the open Tournament I took 4 Ibuprofen and an Energy Drink and about 30 minutes later I started feeling better in my elbow and I started doing some Pulling. After the Tourney I was REALLY ON FIRE LOL ! Little to late LOL !!!!! The After Pulling after my Elbows were feeling better got me to change my mind about continuing to Train !

Funny I relatively had the same recent outing, I hurt my elbow, 3 weeks before reno to where I really could not train, so I laid off, it felt fine before the event, then after I sucked all of the weight to make 154 and had my first match with McGraw where I simply let him take control of me, my elbow got blown up. I struggled and limped my way to the finals and the dinner break, tried to make it somewhat better, pulled in some odd spots for me but I never really got back to normal. Some of that is mental as well, can you pony up and push yourself under those circumstances it is all part of any sport, ours even more so because it taxes your components so significantly. After the event I was not feeling bad but I was not 100% the guys in my classes felt great and would have been tough pulls no matter what state I was in, disappointing but again it is part of the sport that you have to accept or it will crush your confidence. Right now I am laid off from training and just eating way too much maybe for another week longer then I will try to start light and get back to full strength again, that part is also very much a mental game as well, as it is so easy to simply feel the pain and decide you are not ready to get back at it. None the less you have to keep pushing yourself, at this point, for me I would never pull again if I waited until I did not hurt any longer..
