Supplements and their risks from Drug-Free Sport

We all consider turning to supplements to get that extra out of our workout, myself included.  But we need to know what we are putting in our bodies without blindly following labels and uninformed decisions.

Many of us take the time to do our homework and ensure we are keeping it clean as we take our sport seriously, however using your favourite supplement may actually be putting you at risk.

Read the following article to get a little more understanding on using supplements.

Cape Town Armwrestling Results – 30 October 2021

What a weekend for armwrestling in Cape Town!

Thank you to all those who came out to participate in the Super Matches. We want to thank Jaco and the Power Guns for organising this event.  It was a great success.  The challenge initially only included Power Guns and Karma Bulldogs, but with the addition of the Cape Viperz it made it an exciting three horse race.

If the number of participants is anything to go by, we are definitely moving in the right direction here in Cape Town. We have gone from 18 participants at our last event, to 26 participants at this event.

Hard work still lies ahead if we want to catch up with Joburg and Durban.  We will be knocking down the door pretty soon!

Until we meet again! Stay strong.
