Years ago I saw photos with attached text describing an arm wrestling tournament that took place behind the scenes on the set of Baywatch in the 1990s. It was between the cast members and included both the men and women. Allegedly NAME_1 won the tournament and was crowned the Champion. NAME_2 only lost one match and that was against NAME_3. NAME_4 placed second while NAME_5 and NAME_6 share the third place with an equal number of wins. Even the physically weakest of the girls, NAME_7, beat all the men and finished fifth; NAME_8 lost to all the other girls. 

I always thought that this was just a made up fluff piece. Having seen the muscular men on the show, men like NAME_9 and NAME_10, it seemed unlikely that the girls could overpower them. Certainly the Baywatch girls were all exceptionally strong and athletic (with the exception of NAME_7) and their weight ranged from 123 pounds (NAME_11) to 145 pounds (NAME_12). The men weighed from 165 to 175 pounds.

However, I have just read some recent scientific studies that might have the answer. But before I reveal them I want to know if you have any information about that Baywatch arm-wrestling tournament and do you believe that the Baywatch girls could really have overpowered the men?  There should be exactly 4 paragraphs separated by the markdown divider: ***.
