-1. How much time do you spend training and how did you get to know this sport and be interested in it?
I spend about one to two days a week practicing on a regulation table with other good armwrestlers that live in the Utah area.

I admire the wrestler who sticks with it. Week in, and week out. while still getting beat by most of their competitors. It’s really easy to stick with something if you have a talent for it, but it’s a real love and passion when everything comes a little bit harder.
-3. What are your expectations in this sport?

-7. What armwrestling tecnique do you think is the best?
There is no best. They’re all good for different situations. And different competitors. Being good at all the angles is the key to becoming more successful than the next guy.
