I can't wait for you to go to a tournament and test all these money ball theories you like to throw around. HUMBLE PIE IN THE EYE.

Practicing with friend. Never been to a tournament but I don't need to be to realize what were talking about. no disrespect Ryan but you are very wrong about that armwrestling is about strengths in so many small muscle groups and at odd leverage angles that without being a puller ther is no way you could understand what being the strongest P4P puller is this isn't body building or power lifting and not everything you said lacks merit. As a matter of physics the smaller person will always be naturally the stronger all other factors being equal P4P all other factors being equal as he has to work against the smae gravity as the larger man. But in pulling rarely are all other factors equal nor do they necessarily tranlated into pulling as I said before pulling is all a matter of leverage and angles. Factor in the small muscle groups such as the sub scapula and the rotator which may be underdeveloped in the strongest of curlers and you can't have a true measure of pound for pound strength. The fact that Zoelov has such a short arm gives him a HUGE leverage advantage in a hook over the person with a longer arm so he could still be the weaker puller and have an advantage to the win. I could go on but you get the point. I have always worked hard on my strength but the end goal was to win! For most of these pullers I think that would be there goal as well

When I read on this board that top rollers are not as strong, or its not truly a test of strength, it chaps my ass to no end. I would love to see some of you clowns do some of the lifts I do...and I'm sure there are other top rollers out there that are even more impressive in lifting feats. Better yet, "The strap tells no lies"- Cobra Rhodes (2004ish I think?) Start all matches in the strap!!!!

I'm pretty sure this guy is an aka for someone, he really only pops up on the contraversial stuff and is always very negetive, but his knowledge of the who's who in the sport is pretty up to speed, I don't know anyone who would practice for a sport join a message board and talk like they know everything about it without ever having competed, smart money says this is an armwrestler who wants to be vocal about his opinions but doesn't want his name attached to the backlash or he has already been kicked off the board.

If the best pound for pound discussion is done objectively and not by popularity on this board it seems like Arsen should be one of the top contenders. Has anyone beat him right handed lately. From what I've seen he seems to beat everyone (all sizes) thrown at him. Isn't he about the same weight as Todd Hutchings?
