craig sanders v pascal girard arm wars 2002

Great pull between Sanders and Girard, i see Girard likes to post his arm, works well for him here but doubt Craig would be as easy to pull now.

pascal beat craig this year at arm wars...

6-0 wasn't it?

According to people on other forums (this is me repeating what I've read, I genuinely don't know if this is true) Pascal now has some kind of "bone lock" due to damage his arm has suffered from arm wrestling, apparently similar to Michael Todd / Crazy George - so he can simply do a static hold in this lock position, meaning you'd need ridiculous power to pin him. If you watch some of his matches, like the 7 minute one it kinda makes sense...

Actually this match posted above looks quite similar to the ones at arm wars Imo.

yes 6-0 was disapointing but pascal is a complete monster! 2nd in euros and worlds.. not bad

the 6-0 result gives you no idea of what a long, superb, and actually very close match that it was. i was out the back when they came off stage and they were both absolutely drained to the max

Fair play to Pascal, is it true what Leon said about his bones locking? I know it happens with Michael Todd but in his case i thought it just prevented him from straightening his arm. Didn't realise they could use it to their advantage.

apparently that's the entire point, you can just hang back ( i.e backpressure style move just using bodyweight) and your arm won't open

So he's basically using the arm in a sea-saw effect. That's gonna take a hell of a lot of force to move his body weight.

Exactamundo. Craig was really giving it some in the match, it was intense to say the least!

i'm not sure what he does but it is amazing! u will never see him tight to his arm just had that incredible back pressure! a lot of static holds helps that look move

As Leon explained Jo, Pascal can't straighten his arm so although i'm sure he does statics, he doesn't need to be concerned with someone pinning him with a straight arm. He just leans back and uses back pressure like you said.

crazy george from canada is the same....with his arm locking....
