Arm wrestling isn't generally about huge biceps, as indicated by contenders at Saturday's World Armwrestling League's Wisconsin State Championship at Pitcher's Pub.
"It's around ligament, wrist, elbow and brain," Colyn Hart, 35, of Stevens Point, said in the wake of falling off a win from his first matchup in the beginner section.
Hart contended in the 225-pound-and-over weight class. He started aggressive arm wrestling three years prior when Tony Kitowski, the Wisconsin state executive of the WAL, proposed they prepare together. This late spring, Kitowski turned into the best on the planet in the 165-pound and under weight class for both right-and left-gave arm wrestling.
"I generally get some anxiety immediately," said Hart.

Two bars stood upright at both sides of the table along the middle line. Contenders, otherwise called pullers, are required to keep one hand on the bar at all circumstances amid the opposition. Two cushions were pegged into the table for elbow position — lifting your elbow could be a foul that would reset the match — and another two cushions stamped where the puller's hand would arrive upon a misfortune.
Hart's second round in the novice section didn't end in a triumph. He was bested following a few moments, a typical length for the day's matches.
Likewise feeling the sting of annihilation, Shannon Reedy, 34, of Mosinee, lost in the 165-and-under weight class. This was his first time contending in the WAL.

"I get in shape since I'm generally a considerable measure heavier than 165 pounds," said Reedy stated, who would have liked to pick up leverage by being at the highest point of the weight class.
Regardless of shedding pounds for the competition, Reedy said it's not generally the "enormous person" that wins. It is about system and "crude power."
Kitowski concurred. He said that since a considerable measure of the power originates from the quality of the ligament, which doesn't deteriorate as fast with age, more individuals can get to be distinctly required with arm wrestling.
"It's a companion battle don," Kitowski said. "Anybody can do it, regardless of whether you're 12 or 75."
