Practice tonight... only 3 of us so got a ton of time pulling... my arms are fucking COOKED.

Slowly starting to pick up some techniques. Really reminds me of BJJ in how much an inch movement can completely change an entire position.

Still being held away from too much side pressure or press as both are a good way for a new guy with strength can snap an arm. I feel like I'm built to press though.

Probably strongest in the hook, currently... and my lat drag, especially in the strap, is pretty tough to contain.
How's your kings move though???

Levan is still the arm wrestling final boss.

Devon looked great with the left.

And I just got back from a 3 hour practice lol

I finally was able to catch some clips.

Devon is getting better, which seems crazy to say.

Levan looked unbeatable. People are wanting to see him vs. Shaw but it seems to me that Shaw would need more time to get ready.

I both think its gay that you vlog here about this and that its cool. Seems like a halfway decent way for a guy to stay active at the very least, just have fun with it.

Shaw needs 2-3 years to even get his tendons ready...

He definitely has the best genetic potential to be a threat to Levan (along with his obvious tolerance for PEDs from strongman)... but by the time he's ready from a adaptation and technique perspective, Levan may already be retired.

Kind of cool that Levan is going to be in the states for a month though... sounds like Brian is trying to set up some training.

Its a good competitive outlet as you age. My spine is too fucked up to powerlift anymore... and BJJ (which I just got back into) is fucking hell... so it seems arm wrestling may be the best long term outlet.

Crazy with all the EvW drama with Engin leaving and a bunch of the European pullers claiming they are out.

It's hard telling what is actually going on right now and who did what, tons of rumors and drama and who knows what else.

Devon is the most popular by far right now so wherever he pulls will most likely be the top event/promotion.

Its a weird situation... considering Devon is the biggest draw, by far. Also, the vast majority of revenue comes from North America.

So while losing the european pullers would lose a bunch of the best pullers, it probably wouldnt do much to the bottom line.
