STRENGTH IS FOR ALL

You don’t need to be a powerlifter.
You don’t need to be young.
You don’t need to already be “in shape.”
And you definitely don’t need to know what you’re doing before you walk through the door.

Strength training is for the person chasing a bigger total and the person who just wants to get off the floor easier.

Different starting points. Different goals.
Same mission focus: BECOME MORE CAPABLE

We’ll meet you where you are and help you build from there.

Ready to get stronger?

Don’t mistake the strap for “oh their hands must be sweaty.”

Knowing how to set it, load into it, and use that connection can completely change a match.
If you’re competing, you need to be comfortable both inside and outside the strap.

Once that buckle gets tightened…
Now we find out who can actually pull.

Come learn it with us.

Arm wrestling looks simple.

Two people. One table. Put the other person’s hand down.

But the difference between pulling hard and actually knowing how to arm wrestle is in the fundamentals.

Hand control, Cup, Rise, Pronation, Supination, Back pressure.

None of it is flashy. All of it matters.

Learn how to create leverage.

Learn how to use your whole body.

Learn where you’re strong..and how to take your opponent somewhere they’re not.

The strongest arm doesn’t always win, the better position usually does.

Just another morning at The Dirty Gym!

Sure... you could join another gym.

Or you could join one where people know your name, celebrate your wins, call you out on your standards, and actually help you get stronger.

That’s the Dirty Gym difference.
Come get dirty.

So ya think Arm Wrestling is just about brute force?
Everyone thinks they’ve got it…

Until they get their hand taken.

Arm wrestling isn’t just about who’s stronger. It’s a game of tricks, traps, leverage, timing, and hand control. One tiny adjustment can turn a losing match into a pin before you even know what happened.

Come learn from Cody Smith Wednesdays 6-7pm

It’s basically physical chess... except your forearms are on fire.

We’re getting the table ready, and September 19th you’ll get to see just how technical (and addicting) this sport really is.

Or just come watch some absolute battles.
