I wish the WSM would bring events like this back
Log Wrestling: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wdd_vlSDU_8
I always enjoyed seeing the one-on-one duels like these in arm wrestling, sumo, etc... I understand why they probably got rid of them (injury), but they are pretty cool anyway.A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

I'd love to see someone bend a quarter. That would require some insane finger strength.

I think that they should bring back events like arm wrestling, they are the most entertaining to watch

So, who is this monster? Manfred Hoeberl is the man with the World's Biggest Arms - 25 1/2 inches cold!! To put things into perspective, Arnold had 22 inch arms in his prime. Manfred is truly a giant, measuring 6' 5" and weighing in at 330 lbs. This guy is strong - really strong... He does chin-ups with 200 lbs. strapped to his waist for reps! He can curl 440 lbs. for reps!
You might have seen him compete in the World's Strongest Man Competition, shown regularly on ESPN. Manfred was just starting to climb to the top of the sport (finished 2nd in 1994) when he was in a serious car accident in 1995. He's recovered and he'll be back... so look out!-Matt

the WSM is about tests of strength, those are more tests of skill. Originally Posted by Goodwinm

Im going to have to disagree with you there Maximus.
There is skill in all strength activities. And theres a lot of strength needed in those log battles. I concur that having good footing and staying low has its advantages but that is also displaying strength.DOB: 19/11/1989
