Most people Arm Wrestling

It was a show of power and strength. And especially boys just love to arm wrestle with each other and the winners bully around in the class for fun. It also involves some teasing and kidding with friends. 214 Participants got ready to display their physical prowess at an event organized by Staples Service League. And yes by doing so history set in at Westport’s Staples High School.

The previous world record for the most people arm wrestling counted to 206 persons and was set by Bul Dog  Gin  during the Bull Dog Challenge in London. Members of the Staples community joined together for the record attempt to raise funds for the Staples Service League for Boys (SLOBs) and its Service Sunday, the group's annual day of service in the community.

 Technique and arm strength are two major contributing factors that determine the success in this competition. The SLOBS' world record attempt aims to raise $10,000 to fund construction projects the service group plans on behalf of organizations and individuals.

Building homes for the welfare of the community and civilization would facilitate better fulfillment of wants.  The fundraising goal is $10,000—the amount needed to cover the cost of supplies. The entry fee for today's event was $5 per person. 

Every first Sunday of May all the SLOB Families come together to perform construction, landscaping and painting projects for ABC House, department of Human Services and Homes with Hopes.

It was more to do with the mind apart from physical ability. Doing any good act has to first be a mental initiative only them the act could done well with satisfaction and also reap good results.

The venture would help thousands of families to fetch good homes for themselves and thus thereby reduce the number of homeless in the region.

The most number of people arm wrestling counted to 214 and was set by Staples High School at Westport, Connecticut, United States of America on March 11, 2011.
