i will just give you a rough idea, i'm sure results will be posted soon - Awesome stuff, i will just write a few of my thoughts for those who did not attend.
Light weights - really the biggest story for me by far is Joel Goodsell. Completely dominant in right hand competition. It was awesome to see. good job Joel, the whole Buckhorn team is doing great - even 2 for 5 (haha, jk)
187 - Stacked, Henji Left in a comeback victory was awesome, right hand, George continues to be the king.. will it ever stop?? Big match - Shea vs Dan. I believe they split - dan left shea right?? but i may have that wrong, and they may have pulled more than once, i ducked out a while.
220 - Crazy crazy stacked. Americans were up in force, Doug Allen and Ryan Clarke looked very dominant throughout. (Doug Allen... i think i lost 100$ betting against him.. am i a dummy or what) I believe it was Ryan right, Doug left.
Open - the smallest class of the day, but there was still alot of fun to be had. Rich got 2nd right, Earl got 2nd left, i managed to squeak in there for the W.
Womens light - Barb is ridiculous
Womens heavy - Barb is more ridiculous

Spoto is a fkn FREAK, i think he could just appear on the A.W. scene and beat almost everybody.... crazy strong. But, i think he now can't really be called a non - armwrestler, just a casual one. I really want him to nail his record so he comes to our sport. INSANE power... I have met some freaks aswell, we train on the beach sometimes in the summer.. i still remember this guy Sunny - a big 265 pound russian guy. Said he used to do alot of Karate. Within MINUTES he was giving me a very hard time. Now always remember.. the hardest things to learn are the subtle things that happen before the ref says go, and knowing when you are being fkd over, this is where the new guy often looses.

Just got done watching this with my kids over a nice friday mornin breakfast, again.. I really liked this episode, 4 really charismatic guys, i think all the atheletes were awesome, having watched alot of these, the show is really getting better and better. Truly awesome. Craziest point of all - even my wife watched... and she "LOVES" armwrestling

yeah i used to do alot of pushups.. i was doing 1000-1400 a set for a while, but that was many years ago... And, push - ups are not anywhere near as cool as owning a strip club.

i honestly don't think its about the injury when you boil everything down.. the injury is limiting these atheletes in many other ways as well - as in their ability to train hard and make gains without crazy arthritis pain, atrophy due to decreased ROM.. I think that people like to smash a stone when they should just go around it..
and i really think Brent nailed it there^^^^

i personally love Jerry's/George's, or any other wonky style in armwrestling. Makes it way more interesting..
i know i am not in the majority in this, but i really think that people really need to open their minds a bit more. These guys are giving things away.. should make the matches easier..
Armwrestling is not powerlifting. its a fight, not just strength. Mike is Awesome.. George is Awesome. I know, iv'e pulled them.. I watch Jerry, he's great to.. its more complicated than you are wishing to believe.
