TEAM MAINE ARMWRESTLING maine armwrestling news, upcoming events, results, bios, etc

Wow Kurt I didn’t know you went to tournaments.

Hey Kurt,
Im not sure if you rerember me, I pulled with you guys a couple years ago at Bootleggers Tavern in waterville. Im itching to get back on the table again. I am wondering if you would have any information on upcoming Maine events. I did’nt see any posted on your site, thought maybe you might know of some in the future. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Look forward to pulling with you guys again.

Hey Kurt it was good to meet you and John this weekend at the over the top tourny. To bad we couldnt give you guys a run for your money. What do you mean exactly when you say “don’t over train”? My friends and i weight train every day(different body groups each day) and we pull 2 times a week. Is that to much?

Thanks for the advice Kurt. We’ll see you in January if all goes well.

My last table-time is usually two weeks before a tourney. That gives my tendons 14-days to heal up. Sometimes, I’ll take three weeks off from pulling. I’ll weight train up until 7-10 days before a tourney….most of the time, the proceeding Thursday or Saturday is my last day for weights. After that, I’m usually doing just cardio. This may seem like a lot of time off, but the reality is you aren’t going to lose anything in two weeks…you will come in rested, stronger, and ready to go. Many times I’ve heard of pullers taking 2-3 months off from training and being stronger than ever because they are fully healed. This approach may work momentarily for their ‘come-back tourney’ but certainly no training will catch up to you eventually. But remember, this is just my personal routine on rest/recovery…each person is different. BTW – I hope to get the results from Troy any day now…will also put up a few photos.
