Arms of Steel, Rands on the Table: Vertigo’s Arm Wrestling Showdown Hits Potch - 30 May to 6 June

Forget your usual gym flex, if your arms are worth their weight in biceps, Club Vertigo wants to see them in action. Potchefstroom's strongest (and maybe cockiest) are squaring up for the Vertigo Arm Wrestling Competition, running from 30 May to 6 June, with finals heating up the venue on 7 June.

And no, this isn't just about pride. There’s R30,000 in prize money on the line, enough to fuel protein shakes for a year or just, you know, brag forever.
