Tank! Definitely started with your hand back with Darnel in the first match, you know better, but... to Darnel's credit he is a beast right now. So good job either way. Also I can see exactly where you are stronger and staying in your power with the things we worked on the last time we pulled. Lookin good Tank keep up the hard work.

Best tournament i've ever been to. Kicked off my armwrestling career there going undefeated in the AMS class at the last Harley Pull in 2009. Got worked the next day in the pro class. I would go out of my way to make sure and attend this tourney if Mike ever brings it back. Great tournament.

Mr. Blevins. Tell guys like brad spine that nobody cares to watch the little guys. Cause he is a bad ass. Mr. Berget. Guys like Brad Spine WON'T be the ones b*tching, because he CAN pull with heavier pullers. He does it all the time i'm sure... why? Because he is a bad@ss. Brad is one of very very few that can.... which makes him select, or PRO. Guys like him set the bar no doubt. Rob, we are definately splitting hairs. And there is NO WAY me or you can defend every example. But, what matchups would you rather see. Marcio Borboza vs Anthony Snook Chris Chandler vs Brandon Dye Todd "I no longer pull Americans" Hutchings vs Klemba RVJ vs me... psssh, cmon man or Klemba vs C. Miller Snook vs Kindt Silvers vs Selearis @ 175... yes please I dont have the time to debate today big man, just had to throw something out there. But, like you, i'm not afraid to try and convince you i'm right

^ Thank you Sir... In addition, I think this would also make the armwrestling world more select when it comes to who identifies themselves as "PRO" pullers... or even the ones who are Freaks and can legitimately compete with the PRO pullers right out the gate. a couple examples here lately... Nano Cruz... don't know how long he's been pulling, obviously though, not long... can beat a Brandon Dye and a Kenny Hughes on the same day within his first year or so of pulling... Justin Bishop... a little respect your way young man and a shout out for being recognized as another young puller to the game that can walk into a tournament in his first year or so of pulling and weigh 54 and beat a Norm Devio... which means he can probably compete with some 75's... I've seen a 135# Mark Harrison beat 76s... The guys who are not ready... can relax the I'm a pro swag and still pull AMS until they are ready. ALL THIS SAID... WILL NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING IN ARMWRESTLING .... just like anything else... So we will all continue to pull the same people over and over and be mixed up in 1 of what seems like 15 classes so you are nice and cumfy to compete at National or Local events. And if you are lucky and you live in Minnesota, they will make a class for you

My reasoning for 75/215/+
I AM ABSOLUTELY FOR ONLY 3 CLASSES IN ARMWRESTLING BTW!!! LESS WATERED DOWN AND MORE INTERESTING MATCH UPS VERSUS SIMILAR SIZES...
I have had this conversation before on this board and to simply put it....
-75
COMBINES 54's & 76's .... which is how it should be, these 2 classes can absolutely compete with each other and the top 54's have ZERO problems hanging with 76s. Which BTW... If you were to walk down the street and see ANYONE 75 or under... YOU ARE A SMALLER GUY. I have never been recognised as even a middle weight my whole life... even when I was 185, still considered smaller... the guys that can make this weight have smaller frames... END OF. And the guys who will b*tch because this is too High of a weight class for super small guys... Then guess what? YOU ARE A SUPER SMALL GUY AND NOONE WANTS TO SEE YOU COMPETE IN A STRENGTH SPORT ANYWAY ;D
-215
COMBINES 98's & 220's ... again...IMO...how it should be. These are your Middle weights... The 190 guys that cant make 76 are already Natural Middle weight guys and frames... and if you are too heavy for 215 then guess what.. you are probably not a Middle weight. These guys are DEFINATELY MIDDLE WEIGHTS... I dont even care if UFC has 205 as a light heavy... If you are around 200-215... NO ONE LOOKS AT YOU AS A HUGE GUY... Just bigger.
-215+
COMBINES Heavy 220's, 242's & Supers... which I think we all agree... anyone at this size or bigger is a larger man and they are plenty capable of competeing with heavier pullers... AND LIKE I SAID BEFORE... IF YOU ARE THIS BIG... MOST OF THE TIME... YOU ARE LOOKED AT LIKE ONE OF THE BIGGEST GUYS AROUND... NO MATTER.. AT WORK, WALKING THE STREET, AT A BAR... IF YOU ARE 230+ NOT MANY PEOPLE AT YOUR LOCAL WATERING HOLE IS JUST ITCHING TO GO OUTSIDE WITH YOU.... NOW ask guys who are 180 or less and you might get a different story... then the guys around 200.. also a different story..
JMO
one more thing... I do NOT think we should follow UFC... where they are absolutely FULL TIME TRAINING/WORKING ATHLETES... WHO weigh in on Thursdays and fight on Saturdays with a FULL STAFF of strength & conditioning coaches ...where as Forrest Griffen can walk around at 235+ and make weight at 205... WILL NOT HAPPEN IN ARMWRESTLING.
For everyday training serious pullers and again I WISH we only had 3 classes... even for the public view... S/M/L .... Smaller guys AW each other... MED... LG..
INSTANTLY MAKES ARMWRESTLING A CLEANER & BETTER COMPETITION
