+ 1 New member etiquette
Hi y’all I’m a fresh newbie here. I came here because I love armwrestling and know that 90 percent of the top pros are on some sort of gear so I wanted to learn what it’s all about. After reading a few forums I’ve seen these new guys making some major mistakes that everyone jumped on. Anyway I was in another forum and saw A few people arguing and one came up with a great idea for topic that I think would help all the new guys here especially me. New member etiquette. Besides the obvious of reading all the rules and doing a butt load of research what are the biggest problems that most of you see with new guys and their posts? What are the biggest mistakes us newbies should absolutely avoid and what are some things you guys would suggest that we actually do on here. Maybe a guide for new guys so that we can all just be safer and a better more intelligent community all together.

I recognize your typing.
If and when I get time I'll remember who you were before lol.
I'm good at this.
You are not a fresh newb lol.
Good luck and welcome........ Lol
Thank you for the welcome flash
I love armwrestling, i swear when i was 14 years old, i was skinny af, my class mates used to line up to armwrestle me, at that young age i beat my teacher which was 34 year old...
I would really like to give some sage advice here - but I have none. When I first joined I had a spat with one of the well established members here. It actually started as a miscommunication, but then so many other guys jumped in that it became like a dodgy roller-coaster ride in a third world country. I was temporarily banned and told to lighten up. That's probably the key point - if you disagree with someone - just state your case/point of view and don't take it further. In the scheme of things this site should only be one facet of your multifaceted life, and nothing should be taken to heart. Make friends, learn, share, disagree, but let the shit slide.
Thanks man that is some sound advice I’ll keep in my mind. I do see a lot of people taking stuff personally and starting a bunch of arguments. It is quite entertaining but Im not about that life. I do love these forums and just reading everyone’s experience. Thanks again my friend!
Yeah - I'll put my hand up. In the beginning I argued with a few guys, but finding myself in ICU with a major heart problem lent a certain perspective. I burr up pretty quickly but I have had to take more control and I always ask myself when I'm about to spit some vitriol: "Is this really important?" Guess what, it never is.
We live and learn. I’ve gotten in more trouble with my words then in any other aspect in my life. Hope your doing well.
Thanks bro - still here for the short term at least. A lot of people bag 'big pharma' because of profits - but it's only the drugs keeping me breathing.
RustyhookerAdding you to the adv group. I meant to do it ling ago...brainfarts
Thanks mate - but I'm not sure what that means.
Rusty has a special fondle the members group where he goes around and grabs their pee pees while on top of a step stool! Welcome to the group!
Also, no homo.
RustyhookerHand to gland type manshake.....lol
Not one to boast, but he wont need a step stool. ;-) Thanks for the welcome.
RustyhookerDont wear cleats.....youll piss like a mister
Lol. Well mate - I'm just going to have to take your word for that.
Dude that was supposed to be a surprise! Lol
Click community then groups then advanced cycles
Thanks - will do. Have a great weekend.
Look for a good novice or beginners group!
Great Idea man thank you! I never even though of looking for groups.
Some of the best arm wrestlers I met weigh less then 150 pounds soaking wet. Some of the bigger guys lift beers not weights. It's not about how big OR strong you are in arm wrestling, it's technique. I have been to quite a few competitions in my old age. Before I even picked up a weight I arm wrestled for beers at bars.
I weighed 135 pounds.
Anyhow welcome, read the rules and enjoy the stay.
I agree! That’s why I love arm wrestling so much cuz size really doesn’t account for much unless technique is equal. I’ve seen some small guys demolish bigger guys easy it’s fascinating to see and I really hope more people pick u the sport you can do it anywhere as long as you have an arm and a table hah. And I will keep doing a lot of reading thanks bro!
Be kind
Be respectful
Be humble
Be yourself
Be original
Be honest
Be a little paranoid
JayD718AMEN! This list should adhere to everyone, not just newbies.That's everything right there, but especially just be yourself! There's no need to put on some sherrod, and feel you have to live up to some fake identity you feel you've made for yourself! Lastly, there's already plenty of Valentino wannabes on here, please no more!! Cough....stop...cough...please..
Haha thank you I definitely fall into that bit paranoid category.
Make sure you do your own research before you come on here asking a million and one questions. Use the search engine because 9 times out of 10 someone else has already asked the same questions a thousand times. No need for the exact same question to be asked 5 times in one week. Grow some tough skin and don't get butt hurt. If the older guys jump all over you its not them being a duck its they just know their shit and dont want to see you make the same mistakes. There an Old grumpy short guy here buy the name of Rustyhooker don't get on his bad side. If you want to be Rusty's friend you must send him Midget Porn the nastier the better. Most of all be RESPECTFUL. Come here and learn and lend a helping hand when and where you can. Were all family here and all the vets are really great dudes and will be more than glade to help you out as long as they see your doing your part first. Welcome bro Eroids is a great place so do shit where you eat.
jayiskDoes Rusty have a preference for straight, gay, trans, or shemale Midget Porn. By some of the wording in his crazy responses i would say all of the above. lol
He likes it all. I mean all. if its midget he needs it.
Tranny and shemale for sure! He used to be a mod so he also loves newbie nudes. Full frontals and hairy cheek shots. Keeps him sane.
Defo right about the tough skin part Lol...
Thanks bro thanks for all the great knowledge I’ll definitely be taking your advice!!
I think part of the problem is the mods are cranky these days. I directly blame this on newbies not sending them naked selfies anymore. Like a sacrificial right of passage to appease the mods. Then they will take you under their wing and give protection like a creepy uncle. Get those pm’s going newbs bring peace and harmony back to eroids.
Thats what i had to do.
How i got my karma
Hahah fucken hilarious!!
Just send the pics to Greg. He will share with the other mods
What's funny? He's serious. I suggest sending Pale a Friend request now followed by those picks. Be creative.
LOL, no...
Did you get the ones I sent ya. Tranny midget and granny does barnyard fun
Ok I only have interracial pics I hope he’s into that.
Heaze2016Def contribute in the forums that would be my advice for newbies,a no no would be to keep asking the same question waiting for the answer your hoping to hear to justify doing something.
Be yourself don't lie about bf or how much gear you have ran and make sure you don't have thin skin
Dam I hate admitting my body fat though it does help me have thick skin! Thanks for the advice 333!
Don't be suspicious
Good advice my old friend Batman :).
Sshhh!
Haha.
Maybe you could compare it to deadlifting or a different sport other than arm wrestling. Would the natural have a chance?
Yes maybe even a better chance then the guy who needs steroids to move his arm less then 2 feet.
Haha hey Batman I would like to get your opinion if you don’t mind. Since I’m an arm wrestler I was wondering if there were two arm wrestlers that had the exact same stats, height, weight, technique, skill, experience but one was natural and the other was on gear do you think the natural guy would stand a chance against the guy on gear? Or is more mind strength that would play a role like maybe the guy on gear is y actually stronger but because he’s in gear maybe he has more mental strength because of it like a placebo effect? I’m just wondering.
If a mirror image but one was juicing and the other not. Strength every thing the same. Id say " any given day brother". There may be more agression with the juiced up guy. Which may lend to the win. I have read articles on how D-ball works and its effectiveness is due to it accually makes your brain pull harder on the muscle causing a gain in strenght. So with out the same muscle can move 40 lbs and with the same muscle add D-ball it can move 47 lbs. For example.other than that i sont know. But if you looking for a cosign to juice that's your own choice. I cant for sure tell you it will give an advantage
That’s some great insight my friend thanks for replying. I’m a big boy I’m not looking for approval of anything Just some thoughts on a natural vs gear. I still have a lot of reading to do!!
