Let me catch this thread up right quick.
I didn’t compete at the last event because the promoter decided to hold it a week early and mostly invite only. Left a sour taste in my mouth so I decided I would just organize my own.
So tomorrow, I host a decently large arm wrestling tournament at a local venue here in my hometown. The current reigning state champion in the super heavyweight class will be refereeing the matches and there will be a handful of ranked guys coming in to snap up the money I’ve generated for prizes. Had a few local business owner/friends donate over $1000 to the eventual winners of both left and right.
To be clear, I AM arm wrestling in the tournament, and I’m going to give myself the absolute hardest path to victory so it doesn’t look fixed in case I win. My first matchup is with the number 4 super heavyweight in the state, and a guy that should beat me 7/10 times if he can avoid the strap. But he’s not ready for me in the strap, I dare say very few are. If I can slip and get to the strap, which takes a lot of the wrist and hand out and becomes more of a horsepower/total body strength war, I might have a chance to win and get ranked right away.
On the other hand, there is a decent chance I get murdered in the first two matches and then I can just concentrate on having a good time and making sure everyone else is as well, hahaha.
If we’re close, shoot me a PM and I’ll let you know how to watch the stream. It’ll be starting at noon pacific time.
