And I hope that the story is not over yet) Life is a movie so be its director!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Have you considered that pumpkin training is what’s worstening your back issues…??? Why tf would you announce this. You are top in your class in US. Thousands of us dream to be as good as you. But hey, if youd rather be mediocre and unknown in rugby as opposed to a complete SUPERSTAR in Arm Wrestling, be our guest. No ones stopping you. God damn you’re a heart breaker.

Really hoping you can get to a place eventually where you can pull a Procopciuc and do both. Life's short but it's not too short, you have lots of time to be awesome in many ways.

I feel for you champ! You had a ceiling that was insanely high! I hope all goes well with whatever path you choose. Bless you and yours. Next time your in Toronto hit me up and I got you your whole time here. Stay strong and healthy.

Your amazing

Set your mind bro at first

Sorry to hear man, you're a badass. You could come back anytime and be in the mix. Was good hanging with you at armwars brother. Best of success in your endeavors.

You're like the best NA prospect. Unfortunate for us, but good luck with everything else.

dang

You've reached top50 in the world level in your 20s in a sport where top guys are nearing 40s and 50s in age. You have those connective tissues and neuromuscular connections all set. You can totally afford to quit armwrestling for a few years to progress your career. Even if you pick this sport in your mid 30s you still have like 10 years to peak in your mid 40s like most guys.

Ill never forget when you broke the West's losing streak. God bless you brother. Maybe down the line we will see you again. I am optimistic

Your young man, see you down the road.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn

Terrible news. You're one of the real bright lights in North American arm wrestling. You have to do what's best for you. Just curious if you feel not training your left aggravates your symptoms? I remember Todd Hutchings saying you have keep your body in balance. If you do a hundred rows, you need to do a hundred presses, etc. Good luck in your future endeavors. Hope to see you healthy and pulling again some time down the road.

Real shame, you gotta do what’s best for you though…..it’s just a sore one as you had been on a great tear up recently, you had a lot of folks stirred up and talking about you. Hope you get sorted and there’s a chance you will make a comeback soon. 💪🖖 on a side note…..Rugby? Surely can’t be good for your back either, worse even 😅

That Larry Wheels moment of truth hit...

All the best man!

lol I can deadlift more than that pfft

Can I have your strength?

Bro health comes first no matter what. Wish u the best bud. Will you be going to the Orlando show to watch?

Dude no bs I literally teared up. I really hope you'll come back one day, health permitting. Brad seriously you are one of the most impressive arm wrestlers I've ever seen. I hope everything goes according to plan for you man. This is terrible news and trading arm wrestling for helping to ease peoples suffering is a noble sacrifice to make. All my best to you brotha. Looking forward to Arm Wars.

Health is priority #1 just know this, you’ve made an impact on the sport 👍🏾

Are you quitting armwrestling forever or at least for this season until motivation comes back?

Wish you great health and future studies.

Proper physio therapist could fix that

Dude! That glove and ring set up looks sick! If you could share that setup it’d be greatly appreciated. Ps, don’t worry if you’re not getting matches at the moment, you’ll get them. Also, live your life.and get your future set. You’re young and will be pulling a very long time and will back at the top once all the school is done!

So sorry man

No brad. Take a bunch of growth hormone, you can be champion. 😢 You can heal :(. I believe in you

You were one of my favourites too watch bro🤙🏽 when you got the match on east vs west I was soooo happy for you! And when you put out that bounty, I was praying you’d get a match with John. But bro life moves in weird ways, let it take you where it will. Your only just getting started!

One of the most underrated armwrestler that I've seen, it was freaking awesome to see you pull... But anyways good luck bud 👍

Now is ur time to focus on looksmaxing. f k armwrestling bro. is one of the most unhealthy sports in the world. It just deplete ur body of collagen and age u faster...

Hey bro, good luck with all you do. I loved watching your matches! You’re a class act!

Dang dude! 😢

All the best

what is meant by “biceps”? Biceps brachii help in elbow and shoulder flexion, and the short head assists in GH: internal rotation, adduction, and horizontal adduction, all very useful stabilizing functions for AW. Brachialis is a pure elbow flexor, which is absolutely involved. The supinating function of biceps brachii may not be utilized in your toproll, or perhaps most, but I think it would be helpful to avoid over- or under-focus on any one muscles group. Also, There is a difference between where we have our focus and what all muscles/connective tissues/tensional systems etc are activated via stretch reflex (since AW utilized static/stretch resistant capacities arguably much more than active contractile abilities)

Arm wrestling is a dangerous niche sport that does not pay. Stay healthy and put your energy into something lucrative.

Mad Respect all the best in whatever you do.

Still gunna be the strongest gold miner in Nome in my book! Med school definitely is more important than armwrestling for your overall future. Hope all the best and also hope to see your return to the sport again some day.

what a terrible piece of news. i have to believe it would be worth consulting with other doctors and trainers to understand more ways to mange the scoliosis/arm wrestling connection. the thing is you will be intelligent for a long time but for sports you have to strike when the iron is hot so to speak.

Just Coach brotha! Love you man! 🗝️= balance

Noooooooo

I’m sorry to hear that brother get yourself healthy but you sure will be missed. ❤️

I hope it’s just s marketing. Look how many comments you got 👊🏼👍 anyway it’s your life your choice. Best of luck 👊🏼👍

Wait what happened?

Brads church of the painful truth.

coulhd you please elaborate on what exactly from aw is causing your skoliosis to worsen or to have it at all?? My dad has scoliosis and many of us are susceptible. thanks : )

You are very technical and fun to watch armwrestler , l hope you come back again 💪

I mean its sad to hear but your Health is more important And im happy that ur taking care about yourself and hopefully you'll find something new in Life a new Passion Much love to you Brad 🫶 May god Bless you and your Family 🙏

Going back to school and sitting in class isn't going to make it better. When you have back problems like this the only way to get around it is to live a life of active recovery. Constant stretching and movement and core exercises, and armwrestling training, will leave you farther ahead than just quitting and going to sit in a classroom and resume the shape of a chair.
