Geo, the 220's will be no easy task for sure. I just hope my arms are healthy in time. My left wrist is in bad shape.
Here is some big news.
John Brzenk phoned Mike over the weekend and informed him he would be attending the Classic this year. He said he is off that weekend, he'll be flying in, and his intent is to only pull the 220's.
Maybe we'd be better off staying heavy George!!

Although all classes will be stacked, the heavyweight classes will be the scariest. The top 5 heavyweights in North America are expected to attend. (According to the rankings I've developed -- armwrestlingrankings.bravehost.com ) Depending on what some of the lighter heavyweights decide to do, they may not all be in the same class (Devon, Ron, and John could all presumably pull the 220 class). However, from a fan's perspective I'm hoping they'll all pull the unlimited class. Joe -- your left arm is looking awesome. How's your right arm coming along?

Eric, I'm with you, I hope all the top 220's(Devon, Ron, John, Slyvain) also pull unlimited. Maybe they would get tired and we could see some upsets! The supers, will be crazy, Cadorette, Travis, Ryan, Earl, perhaps all the great 220's. My left is pretty strong right now, but my wrist is ruined. My right feels o.k., my hand is good, as is my explosiveness, but I'm only curling about 45lbs, my bicep is week. Any chance of you coming down to train with us on Saturday? Ryan, I would assume your right about John saving his arms for KC. So many good events, not spaced out very well. The classic has been booked for a year, then KC booked just two weeks after, and the Big Apple Grapple I believe is the same day. Joe

KC is only a week after the Gould Classic. That week in between is going to be all rest for me.

Here's a question for those who have been in the sport for a while. Does anyone know if John Brzenk has ever competed in Ontario? Will this be a first?
