Mike Gould before he moved used to shop at my store all the time. He actually lived around the corner from me, I missed out on an opportunity to hang with a bunch of the top Canadian arm wrestlers including Devon Larett. Mike invited me over a few times, but I kinda felt I would be out of place since I never arm wrestle so I never went.
He would have bbq’s and bragged up my shop to his buddies and wanted me to meet them.
Kick myself now that I didn’t go. I still see Mike and Devon every once in a while when they pop in the shop.
I remember when I got to know Mike, dude is huge, I was asking about the scars on the front of his delts (was wearing a muscle shirt), he shyly mentioned it was from when he arm wrestled. I didn’t know who he was, so I asked if he won any, so he says sheepishly,”I did ok, I won the Canadian championship 12 times”
I was like,”holy shit!”
Then he says, “oh it’s not that big of a deal, it was only with one arm though”
He is a super nice guy.
