    You just dont see it being done anymore? Land exchanged hands over a good session back in the day.

    So is it a show of strenght and dominance or just an excuse for men to grip each other, get sweaty and make their worst sex face?

    Anyone remember the Stalone film "Over the Top"?

    A friend tore ligaments in his arm while arm wrestling.
    Couldn't work for 2 months.
    I laughed at his stupidity.

    There is some auld-fella who is the world champion arm wrestler, and his wife is the female champion. He looks about 50 years old, and is fairly thin compared to the rest of the challengers. He pulls some hilarious faces while getting psyched up and knocks the table all over the place, it's pure entertainment. He just demolishes guys that are twice his size.

    Can't remember his name now :(.

    Allen Fisher.

    It's a shame they don't show his whole psyche out routine.

    And apparently even women should have been able to beat it.

    I hate arm wrestling, people are always far too dishonest. Shifting elbows, grabbing the side of the table, starting to stand up. No sportsmanship I tell you.

    How it's done. Of course I won mere seconds after.
