Crystal Bay, Nevada - It was the first leg of armwrestling's Triple Crown, and the action was as intense as you could hope for in what is arguably the most universal test of strength.


"You're dinner!" Mike Selearis (right) might have roared as he tore into Bryan Johnson (left) at the USAA National Pro Am Armwrestling Championships at the Tahoe Biltmore in Crystal Bay, Nevada last night. "They will be scared to arm wrestle you after this," Randall Strossen said to Mike Selearis when he showed Selearis this image right after the shot was taken. Selearis went on to win the pro left 177 - 198 pound class and place second in the pro right 177 - 198 pound class. IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.
