The only way to make this better is to have another brother with you as you half the amount of crap workouts. Etc, etc. The most joy I’ve ever had (and gains) is when I’ve shared it with like-minded peeps. Edited February 21 by maidenfan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s specific pockets of dedicated peeps, this ain’t one of them. An hour+ drive each way where I live Dont care though, table is on the way. Gonna make my own club and go to local events. Arm Wrestling as a noob and a guy in his 50s is a bit scary, to be honest. Very easy to fark up the elbow. I’ve done okay at practices, but they’ve taken it easy on me gonna give it a shot anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in Massachusetts super liberal and the club near me is outside of Cambridge which is the mega center of the universe. there’s some good AW dudes in my area. RVJ, Jerry Cadorette.. good luck I hope you can start your own club. If I’m down that way I’ll bring the beer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
