Devon Larratt, who is 47 and weighs 293 pounds, is getting ready for the biggest arm wrestling match of his life.
It’s been a long time in the making. Larratt started arm wrestling when he was five, under the pupillage of his grandmother, who was — according to family lore, at least — the arm wrestling champion of Alberta, Canada. If Larratt did his chores, his grandmother would reward him with training time. He still has fond memories of going out to pick apples each summer; in return, his grandmother would bake apple pie, and they’d arm wrestle.
