3 VIDEOS: Wayne & Ryan Bowen: The Fast & The Strong: How it all started

is 61 years old and he is fast, very fast armwrestler. I really believe he is faster than most armwrestlers who are much younger than him (watch the video posted below the story).

was kind enough to tell us the story of how he and his father, Wayne Bowen, started armwrestling. Trust me, this is an interesting story, read it. And don’t forget to watch the videos posted below the story.

” Dad and I have been armwrestling for 3 years now. It all started when I was young. Dad and I made a bet with each other when i was 14 years old. The bet was who would win an armwrestle on my 18th birthday.

Both dad an I grew up being able to beat all the kids at school and have always enjoyed the sport, but never knew it was a pro sport.

I discovered the pro sport in 2013 and since then haven’t looked back and am aggressively pursuing the elite level.

I was a retail supplement store business owner, and I had just discovered the sport of armwrestling. Dad came up with the idea of using armwrestling as a means of attracting customers into the store.

Dad built the table and we came up with an “armwrestling challenge” where we offered customers a 10% discount if they could beat either of us in an armwrestle.

The table formed a centre piece to the store, and was a huge success. I would armwrestle at least 10 guys a day, and it became quite an attraction to the centre. At its peak we hosted approximately 40 people at once all armwrestling in the store and having a great time.

Since then Wayne has gone on to become the official supplier of tables to the Australian Armwrestling Federation: Monzta Products Armwrestling Tables.

Since 2013 both dad and I have gone on to become the number one ranked for our respective categories which resulted in us both representing Australia at the WAC in Malaysia last year, where Dad finished 5th on the left hand and 7th on the right hand in the Senior Grand Masters 90kg class, whilst I finished 18th on right and 23rd on left.

Since then, I have continued armwrestling and travelling with dad. We have both again qualified for Bulgaria, and intend on travelling together to improve on 2015 results.

Now about dad’s speed. He has always naturally been an explosive puller. In my first ever nationals dad actually eliminated me on the left arm. I have since progressed passed him and despite losing the bet back when I was 18, I’m now controlling him nicely. hehe.

Armwrestling with dad, is a true pleasure. Getting to share such a great sport with my dad is something I truly consider a privilege. I love that the sport brings us together and has allowed us to develop a global network of friends. “

Published on 30 Oct 2014

The 2014 Melbourne Cup proved to be an excellent opportunity for both up-and-comers and old hands to show their metal.

The title for the 80kg right hand class was taken out by Aldo Toma, a new entrant into the rankings at 10th position (37th overall). Similarly, the title for the 80kg left hand class was won by Max Gibbins, a new entrant into the rankings at 5th position (25th overall). Two other noteworthy competitors are Rory Magnobosco and John Bowley, who took second and third respectively in both the right hand and left hand 80kg classes, continuing their steady ratings progress.

The titles for the 95kg classes were taken out by two well-known Victorians, Andrew Lea for the left hand, and Brett Coutts for the right hand. Coutts has recently returned from Lithuania, where he competed in the 36th World Armwrestling Championships and placed 8th in the senior men left 90kg class, and 11th in the senior men right 90kg class.

But Queensland’s Doug Fatafehi continued his domination of the heavyweight class, once again winning both titles for the right and left hands. Fatafehi has moved up two places in the heavyweight rankings for the left hand.

Many thanks to Ryan Bowen for reminding me about another great elbow foul. 🙂
It is a very serious contender for the VIDEO: World Record Armwrestling Elbow Foul, but at least Devon Larratt saw the elbow foul and Jamie Carle didn’t get away with it, Leandro Jesus won the match. 🙂
The match with the elbow foul starts at 5:08, I made the video player start at that match after you press the play button. Enjoy !
Also check the captures I made at the end of the article, they are funny. 🙂

FitX Armwrestling Cup 2014 | Feat. Devon “No Limits” Larratt


Published on 27 Mar 2014

With the greatest armwrestler of all time John Brzenk watching intently from the stands last year, the AAF kept the momentum going by bringing another massive name on the international armwrestling scene over in the form of current world champion Devon “No Limits” Larratt. With Devon presiding over the event as honorary head referee, it was the international talent that stole the show this year with Singapore and New Zealand sweeping the 80kg and 95kg+ classes, and our own Grant Tolentino left to defend Australia’s reputation and annihilate the 95kg class.

Congratulations to the finalists of each weight class:

Middleweight 80kg:
Winner: Valen Low (SING)
Runner-up: Melvyn Lo (SING)

Heavyweight 95kg:
Winner: Grant Tolentino (AUS)
Runner-up: Leandro Jesus (ITA)

Super Heavyweight 95kg+:
Winner: Maateiwarangi Heta-morris (NZ)
Runner-up: Brett Coutts (AUS)
