German arm wrestler shows off his single Popeye-esque limb
Boasting muscles a superhero would be proud of, Matthias Schlitte has good reason to be considered the toast of the German arm wrestling circuit.
But a closer look reveals that only ONE of his arms is bestowed with bulging biceps.
The 22-year-old’s whopping right forearm measures nearly 18in – and is in stark contrast to his puny left arm.
Despite its odd appearance, Matthias’s Popeye-esque limb has strong-armed him into first place in a host of competitions, including the Iron Curtain Armwars in Blackburn and the German Championships in Haltern, this year.
Matthias, who has been involved in the sport since he was 16, said: ‘Many people’s first association with arm wrestling is a beer-soaked bar-table and drunken sailors – which is completely wrong.’

"Kid needs to get a girlfriend." That's good, really good.

Looks like lymphedema. Sometimes seen unilaterally or involving only one arm. Also occlusion of his right brachiocephalic vein could cause congestion.

I’m surprised he isn’t blind or at lest doesn’t wear glasses.

Looks like a abnormality. Also noticing the large goiter-like bump under his chin.
