Im Chris Murphy aka Mad Murf. I entered my 1st arm wrestling competition in 1997 at the age of 25. This was Iron Arm at Blackburn. I managed 3rd place in the lightweight class – giving me my 1st trophy. I didn’t get hooked on the sport until I became training partners with the infamous Hall brothers. My training paid off and I worked my way through the Novice rankings – becoming Novice Champion in 2001 and progressing into the professional rankings. I regularly finished in the top 3 in most competitions I entered (no mean feat when you have Stuart Hall and Craig Sanders in your weight class) I finally became 90kg British champion on my left arm in 2005.
Arm wrestling is a sport I am thankfully, pretty good at and I still enjoy the training and competitions after 10 years of pulling. You’ll be seeing me in many more comp’s in the future,
