Okay, so I saw this “Wes Hand Wrestling” thing online and thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, how hard could it be, right? Famous last words, I guess.
Getting Started
First, I looked up what this Wes Hand Wrestling even was. Turns out, it’s not just regular arm wrestling. There’s, like, a whole technique to it. Who knew?
I found some videos, watched some people doing it. They made it look so effortless. I, on the other hand, felt like a complete newbie. I decided I needed a partner. My buddy, Mark, was game, so we set up a time to try it.
The First Attempt
- We got our hands locked.
- I tried to remember everything I’d seen.
- Mark went for it.
- I lost. Badly.
It was over in, like, two seconds. My arm hit the table so fast, I barely knew what happened. Mark was grinning like an idiot. I realized this was going to be tougher than I thought.
Practice Makes… Slightly Less Terrible?
We spent the next hour or so practicing. I started to get a feel for the grip, the positioning, the whole thing. It’s all about leverage and angles, apparently. Not just brute strength, which, thankfully, I don’t have much of anyway.
I managed to win a couple of rounds, but mostly through sheer luck, I think. Mark was still mostly kicking my butt. But I felt like I was improving, even if it was just a tiny bit.
The Takeaway
This Wes Hand Wrestling thing is a lot harder than it looks. It’s a real workout, and there’s definitely a skill to it. I’m not going to be winning any championships anytime soon, but it was a fun, and very humbling, experience. I definitely plan on trying it out more, improve my skill with more practice, and, hopefully not getting destroyed every single time. It’s also a pretty good way to settle any debates with your friends, just challenge them for a round of wes hand wrestling!
