10,000 BEASTS! We did it y’all! These past 2 years of sleepless nights, back-to-back competitions, putting myself mentally and physically through the wringer… it all led up to this moment!
I actually started my YouTube journey in 2006 — 18 years, 3 months, 14 days ago. I’ve always enjoyed making videos. My childhood memories are filled with creating random skits and vlogs with my friends just for the pure fun of it. I’d upload those videos to YouTube and get a couple hundred views here and there, and when the odd video got over a 1,000 views, it was mind blowing to me.
Getting to a 1,000 subscribers had always been a bucket list item for young Greg, but I never got anywhere close to it… That is, until 2022 when my YouTube arm wrestling journey started to take off. More and more subs were coming in every day, and I started to take things more seriously — I spent money getting better equipment and software, and time learning how to do better edits and graphics.
And today, I can safely say that all that has paid off many times over. There are so many people to thank for this and I apologize if I left anyone out.
Thank you Shaun and Josh, you guys were there at the beginning. Those random videos we made for Halo, Minecraft, speedcubing, and basically anything under the sun had shaped me in such a fundamental way.
Thanks to the OG Singapore Armwrestling gang — Valen, Melvyn, Tee, Desmond — you guys have been there from the start of my arm wrestling journey and I’m glad to still call all of you my friends.
Thank you Teddy for my first-ever international supermatch and Jon for my first-ever high production professional match. You guys were the spark that lit the flame of Eastside Arm Wrestling in early 2022. The brand would never have gotten this far without you.
And thank you, Sol, for trusting me and believing in me to help bring our vision for arm wrestling in Asia to reality. The past few months working with you has been so hectic, but extremely rewarding.
The harder part is still ahead of us. But I know that with all your support, it will all be worth it. Thank you beasts.
