I started in highschool due to my small stature...picking on the big kids at the table was a highlight. I started like anyone, pulling on the desks in the classroom hurting my elbows and kicking some butt. In July 2000, I competed in my first competition and was hooked from then on.
Why I Love It:
Its a great accomplishement reaching goals you set out for yourself. I was headed in a bad direction as a teen and Arm-Wrestling took me out of that rut. I owe a lot to this sport! The people I have met in this sport across the World are amazing. I can't believe the level of comrodery in an individualy based sport. This sport is built on a lot of heart, respect and determination.
How I Stay Motivated:
The challenge...if your not challenged your not motivated...I love being nervous for every match to the point where I almost throw up...That means I'm in the right class and pulling the right people...Teaching people with the knowledge that I have gained throughout the years is a great reward.

What Armbender Is Up To:
Oct 25, 2009
Armbenderupdated Fit Status "Focused on winning the World ArmWrestling Championships in Las Vegas Nov 2010"
To be the BEST Arm-Wrestler my body will allow me to be! And to educate people on the professional and technical aspect of Arm-Wrestling
Goal (Long):
My training is based around my weaknesses on the table. If I can capatalize on those, I will gain the upper hand and be a step closer to where I want to be...#1. This year I want to focus on my hand and wrist control at the table...If you can take the hand, you can take the arm...You take the arm, and you take the trophy!!! I plan on switching the sequences of my lifts in order to shock my muscles. My goal weight for the year will be 150lbs with the ability to diet down for the 143lb weight class at Nationals
I finally have a supermatch with one of the most dominating lightweights in Canada...I have been in Armwretsling for over 5 years now and finally got my 1st and only right handed win against Artie in Sept 2007 at the Canadian Nationals...H has lost the intimidation factor on me now with that...
Haha i actually ment do you measure with your arm straight out or bent? Btw I went to that website you posted and tried to get info on the tri-state competition in PA on the 10th of oct. but couldn't.. if you know anything about this that would be awesome!
sorry for the long post bro
Good job at the Ribfest! When are we gonna get to pull each other, my left is getting pretty good! Last weekend I got 2nd to Jeremy Plaster at the toproll tournament at 154 lbs. and it took him 3 hits to pin me!
What's up man? I saw that you qualified for the Arnold Classic... just wondering if you plan on going. I might go just to hang out and have a good time, watch the pulling and get pics with the pro bodybuilders and strongmen!
