sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=1803423This is what the really smart people have decided.. looks like we are pretty much following suit. I have no experience in the subject - just guess that we have to trust doctors opinions? If i were a woman.. i would have major issues with it. If the money ever gets big and serious - Robin i am jumping on board, cutting my balls off grown boobs.. then look the friendly out. women of the world - here comes a wrecking ball

Heya Josh - there is a fantastic system that is being currently established for worldwide use. i know it is already established in australia. I have been trying to get things join with it but i am just really fin busy. Duan Beckett - he's on Facebook - established www.armwrestlingrankings.comIt is an chess style points system rankings. i think its awesome. I think it is a great system. it does revolve a lot around activity, which can be good. i would suggest to anyone involved with rankings to hook up with him and make the world connected by this system. The aussies are all on board for sharing their system and making this happen. I imagine in some time people will have a point number for their ranking and then a very small # of people will be considered champion some division (regardless of point total). Simplicity.

The current strap system without a doubt is unfair. there is no question in my mind that there is a large advantage to having the buckle on your opponents hand. 1 is cause the way it is tightened ( a small advantage, and is mitigated by a good refferee ) but the 2nd is way more significant - the guy who has his wrist wrapped 2nd has the "lowest" strap. what that means is that when the wrists start to come apart it is the first strap to come under tension. That means that you get tension on your wrist while it stays in the "buckle guy"'s hand. This is the real and huge advantage that makes the non - negotiable difference.
James - I like what your trying to do, but i think there is a simpler and more effective way. A slit in the strap will still result in different strap for the 2 pullers. What we need is a mirrored set up - what you get and i get is the same thing. Firstly the wrap - Do a standard wrap of the strap, and after wraping the 2nd wrist thread the strap OVER the last weave (the one that comes from "buckle guy's" wrist) and then up to the buckle. This will make a completely mirrored strap. no advantages. As far as the buckle vs velcro, haven't played with it, would love to try it. My worries would be it wouldn't get as tight as i would want it to be, but would love to try it.
Side note - straps need to be wider.

In my opinion Marcio is by far the best left handed UAL puller. I don't know Jonathan, I am sure he is a good beginner otherwise the match would not happen. I know Mike had a very serious injury in the not so distant past. That being said, he has since been tested by - in my opinion - a very solid puller in Chandler. It would suprise me to see anything other than 3-0, maybe 3-1 with the wake up call...

I like "go" and only "go" as the command to start the match.
Ref has full control of any/all precursors he can use as they see fit. "ready go", "don't move go", "how are you guys doing go" or just "go" - All acceptable.
Go is the only mandatory word. very simple.

I armwrestled on the Table that day from about 9 till about 330pm off and on. Travis was workin, but came by the table periodically for a quick pull. We went back and forth most of the day, but when Castro came with a few cameras, I won the right and the left.. and that quote was used by the other guy that day.. I believe a few seconds after the photo you saw on instagram was shot.
BTW, Allen ford wacked RVJ to the table so hard at the MGC he should think about cutting to 176..

maybe you should ask crossfit for the video from last weekend... if they will release it. That would certainly give you some more info to base your opinion on..

It looks as though the Vegas event is falling through. I wanted to publicly apologize to anyone who considered taking me up on the wager, especially Denis Cyplenkov who i made proposals to directly. Under the current light i would have to believe that this match also would never have happened. It was never my intention to be involved in anything shady, or to hurt Denis or anyone who would have taken the challenge . I was naive to believes the claims that were made to me, when all the warning signs were there. Many reputable people spoke up early, and i continued to promote the validity of the event by publicly issuing the challenges that came my way. For this i am sorry.
I have purchased a non - refundable ticket to Vegas. Sooo i am there anyways. UAL - you guys are awesome. I have seen what you do with 3 days notice before, and if anything is goin down i will be there.. otherwise i will armwrestle for hot dogs and mustard on the strip..
