First impressions of arm wrestling – I love it!
The things I have found most striking are: -
-It is as much a social sport as a strength sport; I had a great laugh.
-A bit of technique goes a long way, every little bit of advice I was offered was instantly visible once I put it into practise.
-Speed is crucial – Today I learned that a good hit will often win you a match.
-For soft skinned faeries like me, prepare to have sore elbows.
-It is excellent although I can see (and feel) that injuries would be easy to pick up if you did not train sensibly.
-Especially liked the friendly atmosphere and lack of arrogance or competition...I will be doing more of it...
Special thanks to everyone at Preston Panthers who helped me out, advised me and helped me to not feel like an odd one out.
