I'm competing in an Ontario provincial armwrestling championship on July 10th

Wish me luck.

Weight class: 177 - 198 lbs. I'm hoping to weigh in at 198 lbs.

Otherwise I'll have to compete in 199 -242 lbs which would be suicide.

Right arm.

If I place, I can qualify for Canadian nationals and worlds!!

We'll see how it goes - I'll try to post up some videos...I'm probably going to get destroyed, but it should be a good experience for me.

How much do you know about arm wrestling?

Prioritize your wrist and grip strength followed by arms.

REALLY heavy wrist curls as far as I know are a major staple of elite arm wrestlers.

Heavy one arm preacher curls also seem to be popular.

yep, and leverage is key. I used to smoke doods much bigger, stronger than I am. Form/position/leverage is most the battle.
