STORIES | ESSAYS: Pulling | The Art of Arm Wrestling

As each arm wrestling division is divided by weight, all pullers must weigh-in during registration. This becomes a major concern before tournaments because weight determines your opponents and arm wrestlers will go to great lengths to drop a few pounds. Many will not eat or drink for several days before competitions and for more immediate results a sure fire method involves turning your hotel bathroom into a sauna.
