Ethan had an amazing run at the WAL (World of Arm Wrestling League) event in PA on Sunday!
Two hundred people signed up for the divisions, turning Buffalo Wild Wings into a bit of a madhouse- unfortunately this also caused a bit of confusion in the organization of the rounds.
Initially they were supposed to spread out the matches, alternating the youth divisions with the amateur and pro divisions, but due to a time constraint they chose to finish one division before starting another.
What happens in a case like that is serious arm fatigue. And they accidentally had Ethan wrestle three unnecessary matches on top of the dozen he was supposed to, and by the time he was wrestling for first place he had what's called an 'arm pump' which is where all the blood pools in the forearm and locks it up- he couldn't even close his fingers. Meanwhile the guy he had to wrestle had about fifteen minutes or more to recuperate...all of that to say he ended up taking Second place--which for his first tournament is pretty freaking spectacular IMO!
He also got to meet one of his idols, Pro Todd Hutchings, who drove up from Ohio to catch the event!
Along with Russian YouTuber and Arm Wrestler Alex "Top Roll" Beziazykov, a dude he's been watching for months :)
Some clips of his butt whoopings :)
Next step in his workout routine- a personal trainer! Turns out an old friend of ours went from fat body to body builder-
-and is now working as a trainer. He got a hold of us when he saw the posts on facebook and offered his services for a fraction of his usual cost--he starts today!
watch out World of Arm Wrestling, Ethan is coming for you all!!
