Some athletes use it as a distraction to take their mind off the opponent. I play competitive baseball, softball and hockey and it works for me as well
John Brzenk chewed gum too. I think it does have some relaxing benefits. I know it looks ridiculous but there is science with the guys who occasionally wear mouth guards when they armwrestle. Same in powerlifting. It's supposed to help reduce cortisol & allow you to really bite down & exert maximum force.
Even if you bite down on the gum it's not that sold to hold the mouth's muscles' force. Also I Believe you may swallow the gum in the heat of the moment. Not a wise idea.
The commentators sound like students who didn't do their research & have to do a presentation the next day in front of the class. They pretty much state the obvious & don't offer any real insight into what's going on. I laugh every time they slip up. *Geoff Hale & Sam Harris slip* "...AND IT'S A STRIP! STRAP! TO THE STRAP!" Neil Pickup or go home..
The side of the inner forearm is considered part of the elbow. If it wasn't a toproll it would be a foul every time. Devon Larrat has done the same thing multiple times too to come back from a losing position. King Moves is not for noobs to understand.
Nick Price What are you talking about? Denouncing "soulless people", but you're not religious are you? Burning witches in your backyard too, but you're not religious? This is the schizophrenia of theists. They believe things so ridiculous and contradictory that they literally hold a christian worldview and say they're not religious.
Isaac Plumbo Actually Christians have believed for a very long time that every person has a soul and has largely conformed to the changes of modern society as religions go. Worst you’ll find is a baker that refuses to decorate gay or horribly vulgar (I’ve seen this for bachelor or bachelorette party cakes) cake but instead will direct you to a shop nearby that will happily do it. Horrible I know...but it’s not exactly the Middle East as far as tolerance goes.
Isaac - The personal Revelation of Jesus Christ & the Father Yahweh (should you find yourself able to receive it) has absolutely nothing to do with Religion. If you find that ridiculous, I won’t disrespect your opinion. You are entitled to it. People will always disagree on these subjects. As for this armwrestling match above, I loved the intensity from both and enjoy when the more humble of the two ends up on top.
Great contrast in personalities and styles.... Hale and Harris are such polar opposites. No intimidation tactics needed for Sam. He's all business and does his talking on the table..... But on the other end of the spectrum, you have the entertaining Haleraiser, who always brings the crowd to their feet, win or lose.... Awesome match.
Non armwrestlers should know Sam Harris took advantage of the modified WAL pads, as it favors people that pull backwards. Real table specs have an EVEN 7x7 pad, so it would be interesting to see them do a rematch on a standard table.
good match, fun match. i dont like when they pull each others arm across the table after they win. that should be a new foul rule. very unsportsmanlike conduct.
Not as easy as it looks. Sam dropped to gain height and to use his rotator muscles to peel Hale's hand open. If he would just "hang" he would arm bar himself and break his arm.
I have no fucking clue how Sam Harris wasn't fouled for having his shoulder completely below the table in that final round. People give Michael Todd a lot of shit but that was the most egregious shoulder foul I've seen in awhile that wasn't called.
not a great match imo, didn't feel like anyone really tried. As soon as it started one had upper hand and the other just gave up. It kept going that way. There wasn't really any fight.
fighting tires you up. They prefer to start again and adopt a new strategy to start winning. But there are indeed ways to escape situations and keep fighting like sam harris did in the end by opening Geoff's wrist. But they don't do it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is a very large elbow foul. The ref is no less shit if it's sam or michael. They don't call obvious elbow fouls. It's not the fault of the competitors. They are gonna push the rules. The ref should just be punishing them for that. Side note, this was an attacking kings move, instead of just hiding beneath the table until your opponent is worn out with your arm extended half the match. It's no less of a foul but still different than michael, who's style revolves around his elbow being off the pad, being ignored.
bart face is red like an alcoholic
so? whats youre point?.
@@alexejcrescini263 exactly what he just said. Looks like an alcoholic. Thats the entire point.
That explains his sloppy officiating.
I'm always concerned about his blood pressure 😅
Wanted hale to win, but I like how Sam kept his cool and actually used mind games towards hale by not listening to him lol.
yeah, that was really awesome
Lewis Alexander sam got one hard feel of hales power and gave up.... Witch is shit but ya could have went way better!
Geoff has more wins over him.
Thanks for spoiling it. Didn't even open the comment section. This was the one visible comment.
@@noahm44 lol =)
Why is the ref more red than the competitors 😂
Alkee, or bit of Roseatia maybe? Lol
I’d say 😝 Because he has to constantly DEAL with SETTING UP those PESKY-SUPER HEAVY WEIGHTs. That’s a Nightmare in itself alone
he's roided prob side effects even his voice changed since then
I'd have these two arm wrestle each other for the rest of their lives. Great fun.
Bart is looking exceptionally crimson in this one.
Best comment yet
Damn, Sam sure is extremely busy chewing that gum

Humam Slayer seems to work well enough for Sam
Probably stop them from just grinding thier teeth,I would use a gum shield as I tend to clench my teeth when stressed or giving maximum exertion.
These commentators are terrible. Bring back the old english guy
absolutely - Neil Pickup, actually a former arm wrestler himself so makes more informed commentary compared to these clowns.
neil pickup is the voice of armwrestling.
exactlly what I was thinking. Get Devon L. to do it

the sound editing is so bad ... the auditorium effect is th worst
9:33 guy in glasses WTF🤣
He needed to be seen for people to hire him later as an actor
He's beating himself
I absolutely love these guys occupations!! Lots of trades men!
I always love Geoff's intensity. But inversely, I also love Sam's calmness.
14:43, no part of Sam's arm is on the pad let alone his elbow lmao. Right in front of Bart's face and he didn't call it.
Well Hales lifts his whole elbow of the pad 14:45 as well

@@AironNoriaLong So what hale does 14:45 is not a faul?
Michael, did you teach Harris your dark ways?
These extras in the back are killing me 😂😂😂😂😂
Geoff Hale is the love child of Rick Moranis and David Cross.
Sam Harris looks like Trevor Noah
Gino Rossellini foul! That was a double negative.
Damn was his chin under the table on that back pressure. Michael Todd would be proud of that move.
Thought Sam Harris - the atheist - was actually arm wrestling some fundamentalists and giving em a beat up

Went looking for this comment.
These replies doe...
Hahahahahahahah how the fuck is this even a topic? Ben Stiller may be a godless Jew but baby that creep can roll.
Hahaha awesome to see Hale back. Always brings a laugh.
14:43 elbow foul on sam in any other armwrestling organization lol. WAL rules are absolute trash.
True lol... I seen that too
Watch Geoff's elbow too at the same time!
Noticed that straight off.
@@tomroberts5805 the side of the inner forearm is considered part of the elbow. If it wasn't a top roll would be a foul every time.
Also top of the shoulder should be at the same level of the table, in this moment it was completely under. WAL is bullshit
Came here immediately to see Geoff Hale piledriving Sam Harris' hand to the pad at 8:07!😂😂😂 Perfect name for a perfect move!
10:23 with a eyebrow raise, 10:26
14:42 look at that forearm fibers on the left hand of sam harris
I like them both, good contest
ive heard geoff hale is still 27

Harris handled Hales rage like a true sportsman
Hale's just a genius in the sport of armwrestling! Love this guy.
lmao he talked shit n lost dumbass X D
ju kiddin im as wasted as my butt lmao
the girls at WAL are lovely !
That is what I come to see here
@@Abhishek_20858 Ikr!
08:07 how pissed hale was: "oh... YOU FUCKIN GIVING IT TO ME, FUCKER?!? WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!"
thats passion, i like that guy.
Where is michael "lay down" todd ???
alop310 not under this table but we can assume he's training under one somewhere.
Word is he only goes topside to eat.
+The Intimidation I'm surprised since his physique would tell me he goes topside a lot ;)
@NettiBongo In a winning/pinning position your shoulder can dip below the table. Only in a defensive position you must keep it above.
3:34 7:56 11:45 14:35
matches
LOL the ref looks more strained than either of them. and at 8:01 Hales elbow is on the table. You gotta love these refs.
Btw gw datang karna tiktok
Ke sini gara2 tiktok

incredible
I was wanting to see Sam win, I'm glad he did. He's earned it
Commentator was terrible.
What a mouth on Hale....The connor macgregor of arm wrestling with big talk and gets shut right down. Slice of humble pie !
Isnt Same Harris Elbow not on the pad when he rotates that low at 14:44?...
so what happened in the second round??
Ohhh i wanted hale to win :(
Congrats Sam !
How much is the prize money??
Who were the referees name??
I dont know if someone yanked my arm like that there glasses would be on the other side of the stadium.
14:38 Sam smart move love it
Todd the under tabler taught him that one
@@ehcmad_man4406 under table is an beautiful art. It's not a disgrace, rather a gift for armwrestling
8:05 me and that dude be fighting he acting like that yankin my arm all over the table
I'm flying in to Harris's next WAL event.
Hale had elbow of mat.
Lil B
I was thinking of a completely different Sam Harris
This Hale guy is a character
Not enough red tape on Hale...it was his downfall:)
This is why I'm in on arm wrestling,,because Harris is so entertaining in battle,,
Who knew Ben Stiller was such an elite arm wrestler?
That has been "making sense'...
This ref is one shade of red away from a heart attack.
Bart fell asleep in the tanning bed
7:11 zero of emotions, mental 10\10
i think the ref has done to many sun beds
Hey WAL, maybe don’t let the commentator get drunk before the show? Geez dude. Keep it together.
Nice
that was half comedy show haha
14:43
That is not arm wrestling.
I agree, both shoulder's below the table, it's a disgrace to the sport.
that was a foul. Borderline intentional cheating to regain control :P. Still think harris would have won the match though.
tell that to Devon Larrat
You can thank Michael Todd for that.
Hale is all about the Sportsmanship..
Eric Everhard look alike🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol I love Sam
Geoff: stop pulling me across the table
Sam: were not even strapped up, you can’t feel it
😂😂
Pray he’s okay
Kind of cheap handing the cash like this. WAL needs many years to progress into a proper pro league
Sam went so down during the last round in order to take control of Geoff hand.
How did no one notice same starting with his elbow at the back of the bad.
What happened to his head ? Why is it so red ?
DOPEEEEE
Hale should have stuck with that high hook, Sam couldn't even move him
Sams shoulder seemed to dip to low at that last match no?
Yes, I agree. Both Shoulders dipped under.
@@JD-jy4gn The pulling arm shoulder can dip below the table in a winning/pinning position. The other shoulder doesn't matter.
is that kewebbelkop narrating
Elbowfaul by both at 14:42. Intresting that the reff dont see it. Typical WAL.
good match, fun match. i dont like when they pull each others arm across the table after they win. that should be a new foul rule. very unsportsmanlike conduct.
Yeah. Mask injured todd with that
Im here cuz of tiktok
Nobody:
Sam Harris: Chews gum
8:08 Watch it in quarter speed... XD
dam the best part is 14.42...
When an arm wrestler punch you
Sams elbow all over the shop in the last round.. GG Bart you muppet..
2 smacktalkers. should be good
First time i want Geoff to win lol
me too xD hahhaa
I wanted him to win too
14:40 are you kidding? look at sam's elbow how is that even legal???
14:42 gg wp cya elbow
How much the money
Whos the the spokesman
do they just pick the crowd from the street or????????
Do they actually keep that money? Or is it just for show?
Hale has been the man for a few years now. But eventually someone bigger and badder comes on the scene and sends you back to the drawing board
7:20 that ref girl probably looks the same from the front
Geoff is smart by looking at the refs face for a quicker start
14:43 So u dont even need the table for arm westling then. Sam's just hanging on to Hale's bicep.
Not as easy as it looks. Sam dropped to gain height and to use his rotator muscles to peel Hale's hand open. If he would just "hang" he would arm bar himself and break his arm.
Sam is taller so its kinda a benefit
I didn't know the south african comedian is into armwrestling
I have no fucking clue how Sam Harris wasn't fouled for having his shoulder completely below the table in that final round. People give Michael Todd a lot of shit but that was the most egregious shoulder foul I've seen in awhile that wasn't called.
Winning by sliding off the elbow?
Muscle mass of bubble wrap.. how the fuck does he win, madness that technique is soooooo much more important than strength in a strength game lol
not a great match imo, didn't feel like anyone really tried. As soon as it started one had upper hand and the other just gave up. It kept going that way. There wasn't really any fight.

14:43 looks like quite the elbow foul to me from sam harris. Just look at that shit, it's worse than Todd lol
Is a very large elbow foul. The ref is no less shit if it's sam or michael. They don't call obvious elbow fouls.
It's not the fault of the competitors. They are gonna push the rules. The ref should just be punishing them for that.
