Alexy did try a comeback looked like shit to arm wrestling is one sport where you can take several years off and comeback He was a beast for a few years
his short 2008 comeback was good he was huge and stronger than ever probably.
But 2015 or whatever his second comeback was shit. First off he turned vegan which imo is shait for strength and power. Second he looked like he was completly off sauce. Or on very little. And his preperation was very short like a few months, half assed it.
If he wants to compete seriously he needs to start eating like a heavyweigh and juice like one. Sorry but it's reality in strength/power- sports. But closing in at 50 y old he probably don't want to do that
