Jo,
As you know Elizabeth is pregnant. She's training some grip stuff when she can, but armwrestling in her 7 months gone condition, no.
I'm sure she'll be back next year.

I'll probably be having a go, not armwrestled for a year, well except some practice table fun the other day at Arm Wars.

So 110k class for me.

Hi Jo no Hayley can't make it this year she will be at Leeds
But you will get your match one day
Hayley is getting back to the table

3 weeks away

tom Holland come training with me last night afte ra ong time out, still feeling strong as shit! he will be coming to the british in the 75's x

whos taking part this year

was going to pull,but i see no sense in it as
im an amatuer and for some one to say that holdin out for the novice does no one any favours? eh no.im 95 kilo and i think my first comp should be at that weight and versus a fellow novice! or is gettin hurt at the pro's and bein injured for the novice event a better plan ?i ask you ?

I have a guy called Liam whos been training with me, hes New and only been pulling for 8 weeks, but he seems safe, and is really looking forward to having a go with some of the pros. Hes not expecting to win but cant wait for the experience..

Every comp you can pull in is worth doing, Enter the 100kg class, the pro's know who is who and won't smash you through the table. The last thing any of us want to do is hurt a novice so they never come back to the sport. Also getting on the practice table after you pull is some of the best training you'll ever get.

Also, the first comp i ever pulled, with no training whatsoever was the British open, it gave me a great deal of insite into the sport and the levels i would need to work towards inorder to have success, I drew against Gary Ricketts and Neil Pickup, both understood I was brand new and didn't do anything to hurt me, so 5 years later i'm still in the sport.

Well said Dan! I reckon everyone should pull, if they are healthy.

In any sport, the best way to progress is to train & compete at levels higher than your own. Forget the haters & nay sayers, set your own goals.

well said dan. you pulling bubba

Unfortunately I can't make it, i'm in Yarmouth for a wedding that weekend. My own fault as i said yes to the girlfriend without realising the date!!!

He will be pulling, I don't know what he's talking about, we are all coming down for the British. l cant beleve he's worried he gets hurt, what a wimp. . . . . boo hoo l might hurt my arm it might be a bit sore. Grow a set of nuts Paul and get back to training on a Saturday 10.30 ( Get out of bed ) And if you enter at least l know l wont come in last. . . . See you Saturday numnuts.

2 weeks to go...

HELL YE!!! CANT WAIT TO RIP SOME ARMS OFF
