Next PAA event is the Hostile Strength Warzone on Sat 4th April. Unit 14B, Flemington Industrial Park, Motherwell, ML12NT is the address, like all warzones weigh in is between 0930 & 1130, pulling starts 12.  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 Martin 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. It has. Reuben Hughes has the 2025 belt & it's his forever. Who is going to win the 2026 belt?

Declan Dillon has been invited to compete at the world championships in strict curl, in Siedlce Poland on May 17th 2026. Give him some support if you can, you'll want to be his mate when he returns as the champ.

See you down the road.
