Brian Shea was only 16 when he won Worlds in 1992. He was a beast & if it wasn't for numerous rotator cuff injuries, I believe he would still be a serious contender for a few more World Championships. I had the pleasure of training with him back in the day!! Les Whims was another fella with a deceptive style as well as hidden abilities! Also both were very fast......Lighting Fast

Now that I know what to look for a little more I don't underestimate people like I used to, but I have a funny story about the first time I ever practiced with Anthony Snook. At that time I had never even seen a table up close and the only armwrestling I had done was across a kitchen table and even then I wasn't good. So when I went to Anthony;s house the only thing I knew was I outweighed him by 50 pounds and by his avatar he was skinny. Well when he walkd out I thought to my myself man this guy is skinny, I hope he can give me a good work out. HA! Well within seconds I realized how little I knew. We went to his table and he showed me where to hold the peg and then said lets see what you got and well I started pulling even got to grunting and I look up and he is looking at me calm as can be and says hmm not too bad, boy did I feel like an ass. The bad thing is that was over a year ago and he still does the same thing to me

He lives in Ohio now, but Darren Dailey. 6'1 or 2 and 155 lbs, but I've seen him destroy much larger competitors. I'm pretty sure that he has a win/s off Ron Klemba.

Les did like to control his opponent and sometimes toy with them....but he also had a lot of speed.

i agree about Bert Whitfield,he is one the most interesting puller ever.i grew up by being amazed of his way to armwrestle.armwrestling world has never met any calmer armwrestler than Bert Whitfield.it did not matter if he lost his wrist while his hand is half of an inch far from the pad to lose the match,you would see Bert is calmly staring his opponent while chewing his gum.what a smart,strong and confident man!
and yes,he does not look any muscular either but he has been state,national and World champion.years later i was lucky to meet him in person and my respect for him was much greater once i get to know what kind of person he is!
yes Roger has very deceiving look,he is all about tendons i guess.
