Another good show bro! I like the emphasis on nutrition. It is always the missing link in people's regimen. In bodybuilding nutrition is paramount, but in armwrestling, I think it is even more important. Thanks for putting it on man!

Hey Josh, we were keeping score for team points of the Borderwars supermatches. The individual athletes will certainly recall what they won as far as what right or left and how many matches. The overall score came out 52-41 Illinois. Mike West did video of the whole event so that will soon be available. It was absolute WAR all day!

IAF Indiana State Results:
First I want to make mention of the most honorable and sportsmanlike spectacle I ever witnessed. After Scott Skelton had already won the Left-Handed King of the Table he feined a loss to my 5 year old nephew and actually gave his huge trophy to him, what a truly incredible gesture! Thank you to everyone who came out, with 120 entries! Wars were fought one after the other, and good sportsmanship abound! Special thanks to my refs Harold Owens, Pat Berry, Dan Stroud, and Bill Onofrey for keeping the event 100% injury-free! It was a day of huge upsets, good fun, and GREAT pulling!
Borderwar: Illinois wins 52-41 over Indiana, all out war!
Joey Skelton (IL) over Riley Firsich (IN) 4-0
Brad Spine (IN) over Clinton Robbins (IL) 4-0
