Winning At Arm Wrestling By Kent Sayre At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

If you thought arm wrestling was a pursuit relegated to high school cafeterias and study halls, guess again. If you’ve ever watched the 1980s film “Over the Top,” you know what I’m talking about.

“Over The Top” followed a trucker, Lincoln Hawk (played by Sylvester Stallone), who decides to enter himself into a nation-wide arm wrestling competition. His arm wrestling pursuits not only brings him the affection of his estranged young son, but also brings him big earnings after he defeats the goliath Bob “Bull” Hurley in front of a packed arena and television audience.

The kind of competition and popularity featured in “Over the Top” is not far from reality. In fact, a documentary on the world of professional arm wrestling is in the process of being filmed, called “Pulling John,” which features an indepth look at some of the industry’s most successful arm wrestling competitors in the world.

Elite arm wrestling competitors can make good money at these competitions; cash prizes and big rig trucks are given to the winners of several competitions in California and Nevada, for example.

But arm wrestling, of course, isn’t relegated to professionals. There are few contests more readily accessible than arm wrestling, a fact made evident in bars, work cafeterias, dinner tables, picnics or anywhere else two arms wish to settle a bet or want to show off one another’s biceps. But arm wrestling is not just a battle of strength—it’s also a battle of wits. Ask any arm wrestler and they’ll tell you that focus, stamina and technique play integral roles in arm wrestling. Whoever conquers all of these elements is rewarded with the ultimate prize: winning!
