First off, it must be said that the image above has not been photoshopped or modified in any way. The man featured in it really has one arm that is considerably bigger than his other one.

According to Mirror, the man is named Matthias Schlitte. He was born in Germany and has been a professional arm wrestler since he was a teenager.

Matthias Schlitte says that he first took part in an arm wrestling tournament when he was about 16 years old, the same source details. He is now 27 years old.

Interestingly enough, Matthias only entered this tournament because the competition was being held in a bar that he chanced to walk in while minding his own business.

Having defeated many opponents in this tournament, the man moved on to become a professional arm wrestler and has until now won 8 German and 14 international such competitions.

Apparently, Matthias' seriously oversized limb measures an impressive 46 centimeters (18 inches) around the forearm, which is why it should not come as a surprise that the young man has even defeated an arm wrestling robot.

For the time being, Matthias Schillite has no intention to retire from professional wrestling. Seeing how he has a natural talent for this sport, chances are it will be a while before he starts thinking about embracing another career.
