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.

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.

That is freakish.

Shouldn’t he be, at least, attempting to even them out?

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

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