Arm Pull
The Arm Pull is one of the traditional tug-of-war games. Maximum strength and endurance are the main factors that decide the outcome. The objective of the Arm Pull is similar to that of the Finger Pull and the Wrist Pull: The athletes interlock arms at the elbows; each attempts to pull the opponent over or to break the elbow lock. Usually a best of three format is used. Place the leg on the pulling side over your partner's opposite leg, and bend the knee. Straighten the other leg and place it on the floor. Interlock pulling arms, and place the free hand on your partner's ankle. The elbow is held at shoulder height, the pulling fist is strongly flexed. Do not lean back more than about 15 degrees, the back is straight.
