Story

I didn't start out as an armwrestler.

After graduating high school, I had gone pro in obstacle course racing and was training to compete at a higher level. At the time, I was using calisthenics to build the upper-body strength I needed for the obstacles while continuing to pursue running.

At first, I was still trying to find a way to continue running and stay on the path I had started. But as I recovered, I began looking for something I could pursue while dealing with the limitations of my injury. That's when I found armwrestling.

I entered my first tournament and ended up taking 3rd place in a novice class. What started as something I tried during a difficult transition quickly became something I wanted to pursue seriously.

The more I trained, the more I realized that armwrestling was going to become my sport rather than just something I did while recovering from running.

As I spent more time training, I also started noticing things I wanted to do differently with the equipment I was using. I began coming up with ideas for different handles — different shapes, angles, grips, and designs that I thought could make training more effective or simply give athletes new ways to train.

The problem was that I had plenty of ideas, but no real way to turn those ideas into physical products.

For the first time, I had a way to take an idea that existed only in my head and turn it into something I could actually hold, test, modify, and improve. One design led to another, and before long I wasn't just thinking about different handles — I was designing and making them.

That's where this started.

I wanted to create equipment that I would genuinely want to use myself: functional, durable, thoughtfully designed, and built around the way athletes actually train.

The long-term goal is to build an athletic equipment brand that reaches beyond a single sport — creating products for armwrestling, calisthenics, strength training, conditioning, and athletics as a whole.

What started with an injury, an unexpected change in direction, and a few ideas that I had no way of building has turned into an opportunity to create something of my own.
