While we generally prefer to settle all important disputes through the time-tested method of Rock Paper Scissors, sometimes that's not enough.

Over The Top may be the greatest arm wrestling event ever. When I arrived at the Las Vegas Hilton July, 1986 I was cutting through the pool area and there on a lounge chair was Bert Whitfield and a few of his entourage. We said 'hello' and got to talking arm wrestling and he mentioned he was pulling in the middleweight Truckers division. The Simpsons ' seventeenth season originally aired between September 2005 and May 2006, beginning on Sunday, September 11, 2005. It broke Fox's tradition of pushing its shows' season premieres back to November to accommodate the Major League Baseball games airing on the network during September and October of each year.

Apr 13, 2001 the Simpson's are the best on t.v. But i can't believe they could release such a bad game. I realise that this was made back in 2001 but back then they still had better graphics than this. They don't look like they are fighting, they look like they're having a cat fight. The game play is terrible and the special moves aren't so special as they don't have much affect on your opponent. 'Marge's Son Poisoning' is the fifth episode of the seventeenth season of The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on November 13, 2005.

Arm wrestling (or armwrestling) is a sport involving two participants. Each places one arm on a surface with their elbows bent and touching the surface, and they grip each other's hand. The goal is to pin the other's arm onto the surface, the winner's arm over the loser's arm. In the early years different names were interchangeably used to describe the same sport: 'arm turning', 'arm twisting', 'arm wrestling', 'Indian arm wrestling', 'twisting wrists', 'wrist turning', 'wrist wrestling'.^[1] Organized armwrestling tournaments started being held in the 1950s.

Description[edit]

Various factors can play a part in one's success in arm wrestling. Technique and overall arm strength are the two greatest contributing factors to winning an arm wrestling match. Other factors such as the length of an arm wrestler's arm, muscle and arm mass/density, hand grip size, wrist endurance and flexibility, reaction time, as well as countless other traits, can add to the advantages of one arm wrestler over another.^{[citation needed]} It's sometimes used to prove who is the stronger person between two or more people.In competitive arm wrestling, as sanctioned by the United States Armwrestling Federation (USAF), arm wrestling is performed with both competitors standing up with their arms placed on a tournament arm wrestling table.^{[citation needed]} Arm wrestling tournaments are also divided into weight classes as well as left and right-handed divisions. Furthermore, strict rules such as fouls given to penalties (such as the competitor's elbow leaving a matted area where the elbow is meant to remain at all times, or a false start), and trying to escape a possible arm pin by breaking the grip with the opponent may result in a loss at the table.^{[citation needed]} Paraphrasing USAF rules, arm wrestlers must straighten their wrists without a time lapse of one minute during competition.^[2]

The World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) was the universally recognized global governing body of professional arm wrestling and comprises 80 member countries.^[3] However, due to the labeling of referees and competitors that were associated with PAL/URPA with the status of 'Not in good standing' thus being suspended from WAF^[4], many countries are jumping ship.

The International Federation of Armwrestling (IFA) is a democratic non-profit sport organization registered in Zurich, Switzerland and is recognized by TAFISA, the Association for International Sport for All.

Some noted top arm wrestling competitors include John Brzenk (hailed as the greatest arm wrestler of all time),^[5]Alexey Voyevoda, Zaur Tskhadadze, Travis Bagent, Denis Cyplenkov, Andriy Pushkar, Oleg Zhokh, Tim Bresnan, Devon Larratt, Ion Oncescu, Neil Pickup, and Jerry Cadorette. Allen Fisher is of high acclaim, for he has won 26 world championships.^{[citation needed]} He is one of the oldest multiple world champion title holders in the sport of arm wrestling at 55 years of age in the year 2011. Heidi Andersson is a female armwrestler from Sweden who has won eleven world championships between 1998 and 2014.^[6]

Competitive styles[edit]

John Brzenk was known mostly for his array of techniques which change almost every time he engaged in competition, even with the same opponent within the same match. As of summer 2008, John Brzenk was ranked #1 in North America.^[7] Ron Bath is known for his use of the Top Roll technique which emphasizes a 'roll' of the wrist as he brings the opponent's wrist down.^{[citation needed]} Devon Larratt is very well known for his endurance and tenacity. He uses a wide array of techniques during his matches, one of them being holding the first 'hit' of his opponents and draining them out, and then counter attacking afterwards. He was the 2017 WAL (World Armwrestling League) Heavyweight champion left and right handed. Travis Bagent, like Brzenk, was known for his wide array of techniques, coupled with his massive strength and explosive style.^{[citation needed]} Many of Bagent's matches have ended in seconds. Bagent was considered the best left-handed arm wrestler in the world and ranked second overall in North America, as of summer of 2008.^[8]

Other competitors such as Matt Girdner, Michael Selearis, Sean Madera, Marcio Barboza, Christian Binnie, and Anthony Macaluso are known for their reliance on strength, coupled with the hook technique, where the wrist turns into a hooked grip after the referee has started the match.^{[citation needed]} 'The hook' or 'hooking' is any move derived from the inside system of arm wrestling. The second generic system or style of arm wrestling is known as outside arm wrestling 'the top roll' or 'top rolling', while the 'triceps press', 'shoulder pressing', or 'shoulder rolling' is often described as the third generic system or style of arm wrestling.^{[citation needed]} Certain arm wrestlers depend on the straps,^{[clarification needed]} such as Jason Vale, who won the 1997 Petaluma World Championships in the super heavy weight class at only 175 pounds using the strap technique.^{[citation needed]}

Many arm wrestlers will have a signature style or favorite technique, while others have enjoyed success by becoming extremely well rounded. Within each of the three broad technical systems of arm wrestling there are numerous clearly identifiable techniques which have been developed and enhanced over time.^{[citation needed]} Great Britain's most successful arm wrestler and former two time European and World Middleweight Champion Neil Pickup is one of today's leading arm wrestlers, widely recognized as having originated and developed techniques to suit the genetic make up of individual arm wrestlers. Neil Pickup has enjoyed an amateur and professional career spanning more than 20 years, during which time he has won more than 60 International titles across five different weight classes on both his right and left arms. He has also trained numerous world champions, both male and female. This success has been largely attributed to his technical prowess, experience, and understanding of the athlete's whole body as a lever. He now also hosts a podcast for the WAL^[9].

Training[edit]

There are many resources available to help you train for the sport of armwrestling.^[11] The best way to get involved in the sport is to find a local club and join their team. Many times they will have experienced competitors that will help you learn how to stay safe on the table, as well as techniques to help you succeed. There are many local tournaments throughout the U.S. that offer novice and/or amateur divisions for those just getting involved.^[12]

Associated injury[edit]

Arm wrestling puts enormous torque/torsion stress on the upper arm's humerus bone to a degree seen in few other physical activities.^[13] Most people's bones are not accustomed to being significantly stressed in this direction, and severe injuries can occur. The arm typically fails because of a diagonal break at or below the midpoint between the shoulder and the elbow; this is known as the 'break arm' position. The most common injury is the humeral shaft fracture. Other common injuries also include shoulder injuries, muscle strain, golfers elbow, and less commonly pectoralis major rupture.
