Auckland Armwrestling Comp @Genetic Gym


Recommended Posts

Well, I went along to this yesterday. Interesting to see that being the biggest/strongest definitely doesn't mean you're going to win. Some of the smaller guys punched way above their weight (if you'll excuse the mixed sports metaphor).

Got a few good shots of Moose beating Majorflavazz. Then a few more of Majorflavazz beating Moose. Good competition, guys! :grin:

There were 5 new comers that caught my eye - with a little bit of finesse I can only say watch out. But 1 stood out and for me was the rookie of the Championships.

Moose - What a beast - He gave Majorflavazz a solid challenge and won a round against Majorflavazz . Welcome to the brotherhood Moose.

We had 2 Competors from Canada that is currently touring New Zealand, Steven and Correy. All the best with your travels guys and remember that you have Armwrestling brothers for life in New Zealand.

Thanks to the sponsors that made the Auckland Armwrestling Championships extra special.

This was an awesome competition and great sponsorship. It was my first competition and I'm hooked now so the training starting next week.

majorflavazz you were as tough as I expected after we warmed up together I suspected I would have my work cut out for me. Great work to win your class and then step up to the next weight class and take out number 1 there too mate.

Was a great turnout and great to see the pics by pseudonym up there so quick.

Looking forward to the next one now!

Great competition. Well done Moose, I knew you'd do well mate. Once you get used to the different techniques involved I think you will dominate the 110kg class.

Well done as well Majorflavazz. Your endurance and explosive power is impressive mate, and your technique looks textbook perfect.

Man that Maateiwarangi Heta-morris who took out the 110kg class is an absolute machine. I think he will remain NZ champion for a while yet. To watch him win the overalls by beating all comers one straight after another with no rest is incredible. He truly seems in a league of his own.

Good to see a supplement company (nutratech) not only giving out prizes to all whom competed but to all the spectators as well :shock:

A very well run show, and a sport that seems to be growing rapidly in NZ.

For all you guys and gals out there who have thought about entering such a comp try get along to the next one as all the competitors seemed very welcoming of new comers, and very open on giving advice.

Oh and awesome pics pseudo. You were right that was the best place to take them from.
