Description

In today’s episode of La Pause Café Croissant, I share something very personal: I’m just 10 days away from my very first arm wrestling competition! 💥

I’ve officially been training in a club for two months, but I started working out at home back in November.

Even though I’m a beginner, I’m totally hooked on this unique and exciting sport.

This competition will be a vendetta: a one-on-one match, best of five rounds.

My opponent will likely be lighter than me (around 65–70kg), while I’m at 75kg.

Normally there are weight categories, but this time it’s just a direct face-off!

In this episode, I talk about:

Why I love arm wrestling 💪

How I’ve been preparing 🏋️‍♂️

My stress before the big day 😬

What a “vendetta” format really is 🎯

If you’re learning French and love hearing real, authentic stories with clear vocabulary, this episode is for you!
