Did you progress up to the 4 45's? When I did it I started with 1 plate for about a month, couple weeks off, 2 plates for a month, couple weeks off, 3 plates for a month, couple weeks off, then 4 plates. I tried each week just to do a rep or 2 more. Best memory serves me...3 sets of 54 with 1, 3 sets of 36 with 2, 3 sets of 26 with 3, and 3 sets of 12 with 4.
Thanks I appreciate it. It's a totally different world. One thing I really, really lack is strength endurance. But I think with time, like the dips above, it will come. Of course I'm 10 years older now so it won't come as quickly. I can turn my body on, quickly, for a 1rm......But this 21,15,9 and crap like that, even with very light weights, or even just my bodyweight, is kicking my butt lol.
And thank you. She is happy!
Is there any money in arm wrestling? Hope so and hope you do well so you can throw some more money at that rocketship you drive!

Yes Arm Wrestling right now is literally on the verge of exploding! Last year Game of Arms was a television show that showcased elite level arm wrestlers from all over the US. They formed teams and battled it out at like abandoned locations with a very dramatic TV reality feel. It made a huge hit and got millions of viewers and fans of the show. The WAL World Arm Wrestling League was one of the backers for the show. Since that time they have done a 4 series Competition with about $250,000 in total payouts to all the weight class finalists.
It ended this Feb and was then put on ESPN2 where it again had great ratings.
Since that airing, they launched 200 WAL qualifiers all over the U.S. and in May will have a Regional meet in Las Vegas. Winners get up to $20,000 per class and it pays 8th place $500.
BUT...... These are the best in the World!! They are the Micheal Jordan's of Arm Wrestling!! LEGENDS in this Sport. If you can even qualify it shows you are pretty badass!
So I will be attempting to qualify in 3 weeks. All PRO division. I have less than 1 yr in this where as some of these guys have 20-30years of high level experience and tendons of IRON.
ITS A VERY BRUTAL SPORT in which there is PAIN unlike any other thing I've done! Arm Wrestling will WRECK your arms to the point where you feel excessively injured EVERYTIME you do it for up to 2 years until you start to get your tendons conditioned to tolerate it.
