Uh, it ended up 32. Unfortunately, not in your favor. Uh, he really strong on left, so I was expecting to have a war and probably lose, but say, we’ll see on right. I’m I’m I think I might have him right. Good. Good. So, did you um have a plan in place for him or did you just kind of wing it? So, I’ve I’ve been working on uh like speed stuff because that’s been my weakness till now. A lot of times, well, I think it’s like a mental block type thing because a lot I’ve noticed in my matches with fast guys, I’ll get pulled back to here and then I have to like decide to start going. So, I’ve been doing some speed drills with Jim. I’ve been lifting weights. Just trying to get some speed, side pressure stuff going. Good. So, I’ve been working around it. I think I did better this time, but still off the off the rip. I need to work on just the explosiveness, but I was hoping to hoping to get him a little faster. But he wasn’t he’s not a super super quick guy, so he didn’t blow right through me. I I was able to catch him. Uhhuh. But, um, yeah, still still just not quite as explosive as I want to be. Okay. But that’s what this is about is learning, right? Right. How to do better. So, yeah, it’s like every every once in a while I just got to find out what my new weakest point is and then get that up to the level of everything else. Very good. Very good. All right. We’ll keep going after it, bud. You’re doing great. We’ll see. We’ll see. Watch the right-handed match. Can I grab a riser, guys? Yeah, it’s right there. I was wondering. They pointed out just saying we have them here apparently. I’ve been I’ve been asking them what they’re for. I don’t know. Firewood. Make you feel a lot taller. This and this and this. Just right there. Right there. Don’t move. Go. [Laughter] Go ahead and get your grip, gentlemen. That’s centered right there. You guys are good right there. Don’t move. Ready to go. Now regrip. [Music] Cup. Cup. Spin out. Drag. your elbow on the pad. Your elbow finger on his fingers down. I like what I like the black. It’s all the same. [Music] on deck. We’re going to have Justin Curtis and Bert’s left hand. Is it just me or one of you guys? I thought that was one of you guys. It’s definitely not me. The spell. I might wish it was me. as a third bystander. I think it’s his beer and your cigarette combining. This smells like weed. Yeah, it’s Oops. Oh, is that you? Yeah. Okay. I’m like that’s from this morning and bringing on to share, man. Listen. I’ll bend you. Then I’ll be bringing it down next time. I I just need a little bit centered thinking right there. Don’t move. Ready to go. Keep your elbow on the pad. Elbow back. You’re going to pull, guys. Nice job, gentlemen. Okay. So, we have Ry Verde. Valarde. Valarde. Sorry. Uh, and Ry practices with Utah Arm Wrestling in Midvail. Yes, sir. And has been doing so for a while. Um, and you had your first super match with Nate Yodar. I had my second super match. My first super match was Rocky Bozar. Well, I mean today. Oh, today. Yes, you’re right. Correct. So, uh, and now that was left hand and now they’re going to go right hand later, which I just found out about uh, from actually Nate just before this, but uh, anyway. So, left hand, you guys were close. I was super close. We’re talking 3-2 in your super match and you came out ahead. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Now you got to do it with the right. Yeah, we’ll see how this goes. Nate, we’ve we’ve pulled before and left-handed. We’ve been pretty even even at practices and, you know, I’ve been lucky enough to come out uh a little bit more ahead, but I really think it’s more luck than anything else. I’ve got maybe a little bit of experience on them and that’s about it. on these first two matches out of the five that we ran. I lost the first two. Made a came comeback for the other three. And I think that there was just a portion of endurance and a little bit of experience there. On right-handed though, oh, he’s got a strong right hand. It’s going to be tight. It’s going to be really tight. I have no idea which one is going to take it. Well, you guys are fun to watch. I mean, those are battles. Um, and yeah, I look forward to seeing the right hand. Thank you. I’m looking forward to doing it. All right. Good luck. Have a good time. Okay. Yep. Little bit there. Little bit here. Just turn me a little bit, guys. Yep. Right there. Don’t move. Go.
