President's Bulletin:
Updated 23rd March 2026

This time last year at ARMGODS 98 WINTERBLAST I declared Independance to be rescinded to a subdued Philadelphia audience after we won the cup. At a state of the union address (pictured above) Ryan Grondin & Ray Romanowski were appointed VP's in charge in my absence & I boarded BRUTE FORCE ONE back to Blighty with a jubiliant team of gorillas. I smile every time I remember that trip. 

​

The coming weekend has an event in Cumbria organized by Ted Wilson. I put the poster on the EVENTS CALENDAR, so if interested have a read & contact Ted (not me) with details.

​

Next PAA event is the Hostile Strength Warzone. Hostile Strength is a strongman gym of the sort I used to dream of owning thirty years ago & it's owner - Martin Lennox - has the same sort of grumpy humour & belligerence that I have. We get on well & it has become my favourite road trip of the year. There will be a day when he decides he has had enough of us - I hope it is not soon.

 

This will be the second installment of the league the 2026 ROAD WARRIOR BELT. If you are new/have been hibernating/continually drunk/oblivious/busy/demotivated/injured & don't know what it's all about have a read of the WARZONE & PROGRESSION pages - the PAA do armwrestling a bit different than anyone else, though the world is catching up. Ireland are starting to have warzones, the buffed up Karl Crosby wannabe over in Australia has claimed the idea as his own & is running with it & Polish VP Darius last year was keen on introducing something similar for some of his pullers. It wasn't my idea anyway, I just adapted something Travis Bagent & Gary Roberts used to do in America & thought it work work here.

Declan Dillon is lifting big weights with an eye on a record. He's been invited to compete at the world championships in strict curl, in Siedlce Poland on May 17th 2026. I reckon he might do well at it. Hit him up & wish him luck why don't you? You'll all want to be his mate when he comes back with the record. 

​

See you down the road.
