  • Despite the pain carryover from teh Chance Shaw supermatch and Florida State practice I couldnt resist getting on the table right away with John. The first pull really hurt, lol, then some Ibuprofren was taken and the training got a little better. lol But seriously John is feeling mega.

    By taking painkillers to continue armwrestling will injure the elbow further. The pain is a signal telling the elbow not to go beyond a certain point or it will cause damage. By taking painkillers those signals get blocked so the pain is not telling you the point of damage.

There is a lot of hype I will admit that. But his personal record backs it up too. he has lost a few matchs. and those few were to some of the best.

    43 TIMES. That's how many times I counted you giggle throughout the video. Is it nervous energy or do you just genuinely find everything funny haha?

      It makes me laugh to feel how much stronger John is than me. It just amazes me. Haha. Definitely not nervous. I am lucky enough to call John a close friend. It just amazed me how strong he is and how weak I feel relative to him.

    Кроме того как постоянно смеяться этот рыжий, что нибудь ещё может, Джону с ним и бороться то не хотелось.
