Hey guys! Pain seems to be a main subject this past week, so hows this for ya!
2 guys 1 table 9 hours!!!
Why the heck would you do that? Well after experiencing it let me tell you THERE IS NO REASON TO DO THAT!!! OK so we raised the money we need for the Worlds in South Africa BUT that still is not worth the pain and the tears!!
Friggin heck lads! You gotta try it to believe it!
The pain barrier can be broke! 'Nuff said!

Charity and Fundraiser are two different things!  Charity is when you give something away to help someone else, Fundraiser is when you are raising money for yourself or your cause. ;D OK, sorry for being a smart "mouth!" (keeping it clean for the board rules) So how did you raise the money? Get a million people to donate $5 for every hour armwrestled? If so, send some to the rest of us! Now that would be CHARITY!  |

"I Never Knew Charity Could Hurt So Much" Is a qoute from Rocky 3, rocky says it after his fight with "thunderlips." I werent saying it is Charity, just a qoute from a good film! Sorry for the confusion!
Yeh we got people to sponsor us by the hour most gave us £1 per hour and we ended up making just under £600. Pays for our rooms and our flights are already paid for so now we just need spending money!
Cant wait for the Worlds!!!!

Matt,
Glad you could raise the money by armwrestling! I thought it was a great idea, just couldn't help giving you a bad time. Good luck in S. Africa and looking forward to meeting you in person.

We were in the sports bar at our gym we had a few people challenge us and had a few people watching throughout the day! Unfortunately we didnt get any video, there was only the 2 of us from the club there no1 else could get the day off work.
It was literally pull after pull after pull, we also did some training exercises...just to break up the day.
Thats cool about keeping me in line Steve, us youngsters need to be told from time to time!!! haha
See you at the Worlds!!!
