    By taking painkillers to continue armwrestling will injure the elbow further. The pain is a signal telling the elbow not to go beyond a certain point or it will cause damage. By taking painkillers those signals get blocked so the pain is not telling you the point of damage.

    John looks like he's putting his elbow in front of his body, instead of to his side, which is good. It means he's engaging his back and triceps and not relying solely on his bicep. A younger John always had his elbow in front of him.

He literally travels countries to learn and teach about armwrestling and different cultures and variations of the sport not just to compete and see whose the best. There is a lot of hype I will admit that. But his personal record backs it up too. he has lost a few matchs. and those few were to some of the best. It doesnt mean he isn't also up there with them though. There is always someone better than you, thats life. stay humble.
