                                                                DENIS CYPLENKOV 
                                                                     Training for „Arnold Classic”





Denis Cyplenkov from Russia, The absolute champion of “Nemiroff World Cup - Sopot 2010" - prepares to take part in “Arnold Sports Festival 2011”. The Popular “Arnold Classic” will pass from 3rd to 6th March 2011, like always, in Greater Columbus Convention Center in the city of Columbus, Ohio, USA. This year will be submitted more than 40 sports, including Armwrestling - also, the tournament „Arnold Armwrestling Challenge”. For a long time, many Armwrestling fans are comparing these two big events (“Nemiroff World Cup” vs. “Arnold Armwrestling Challenge”). Certainly, as it happens in such cases, opinions are divided. To dispel a myth about a level of both event, Denis Cyplenkov has decided to take part in “Arnold Classic”. On 5th and 6th March the Russian sportsman will meet the American sportsmen, which till now have not found a case to arrive on “Nemiroff World Cup”.
 
"To Arnold Classic 2011 I began preparation from the beginning of January that means, that really I have only two months. Preparation to Nemiroff World Cup 2011 was little bit more - three-monthly. If we seriously have to approach to the first and second action, I do not exclude, that my success will depend from the physical condition" - has said Denis in telephone interview.
 
If we compare the results up to “Nemiroff World Cup” 2010 and now, during preparation for “Arnold Armwrestling Challenge”: On the “Nemiroff World Cup” Denis has weight of 142 kg. Now his weight is 138 kg. For such kind of sportsman, the difference of 4 kg has no value. Then, as Denis speaks, during his strength-training for today, he has not reached the level which he has represented on “Nemiroff World Cup”, but he will try to achieve such kind of level just before “Arnold Classic”.
 

"At the moment, I am engaged 5 times a week. In these days I have plans to make a big sparing, in particular with Ivan Matyushenko, Roman Filipov and other armwrestlers.” – has continued Denis Cyplenkov. 
 

On trainings Denis gives more attention on the wrist. The last year he has got thick handles to the regulated block of the simulators “Mazurenko Armwrestling Equipment” and as he speaks: "Working with this simple simulator has given good results on "Nemiroff World Cup". 
 
Recently, Denis has support from a Polish company, which makes food supplements and supplements for sportsmen “FitMax”. And as he speaks, "through corresponding supplements I can quickly restore forces, regenerate muscular tissues, that increases the strength-results".
 
We only can wish Denis good physical condition and successes on „Arnold Armwrestling Challenge”.


Andrey Pushkar - Photo Session

Recently, we have noticed the increasing interest in taking photo sessions of their own among leading armwrestling competitors. And all that because many companies are interested is such professional photos.

A good example is Andrey Pushkar's photo session, which will be held this weekend (19th-20th February 2011). So far, no one was interested in the Ukrainian World Champion of the super heavy class. For now, a Polish FitMax brand is getting more interested in Andrey. Session will be made for the Ukrainian company Empire of Sports - the official  official representative of FitMax in Ukraine.

The owner of FitMax brand - Gdynia company Mazurenko Armwrestling Promotion Sp. z o. o. has already had in its team several world major armwrestlers. And there's no secret that FitMax distributes its products among armwrestlers. For a long time such a sentence like: "...you want something for the strenght in your arm - it's just FitMax!" dominates in an armwrestling environment.
Of course, armpower editors will try to show the sample of the images of the Ukrainian armwrestling Champion.

Sensation – Dennis lost to Michael Todd!

Today as in the past times the competition started on time and nothing foretold a storm. Denis even did not feel the first match. His opponent was definitely weak, but here in the second match Denis got immediately "lucky", he had to fight with Richard Lupkas. 56-year-old athlete from the United States has seen a lot of things in his career, but he has never met Dennis , that's because Denis has fights mostly in Europe. In America he fought only once and that was the match with John Brzenk - for the title of a Professional World Champion. Before the beginning of the fight Dennis was a favorite. The beginning of the match. With a powerful biceps  Dennis quite confidently began to struggle to impose a "hook". Richard felt that and used his powerful technique of "top roll”. He started the first and pulled Dennis' fingers. Fighting the hook didn't go due to Richard's actions. But with a powerful side pressure of Denis Richard's hand started getting to his opponent's side. That was not the end of the match. Faul, then capture break and faul again. The hands of the athletes had already been exhausted. Denis was attacking while Richard was trying to defend slowly taking the iinitiative from time to time. But Richard  made a mistake and turned the attack in the hook. And with the only movement Denis put his hand to the pinch pad .......... - That was the last match of Richard - the hand was dead. Having come to the table for the next fight he had to raise his opponent's hand up showing that he wouldn't keep fighting! However Denis wanted to fight to the end – to the victory. For going to the finals he had to compete with Michael Todd, who fought Tim Bresan due to his fauls. And here the situation imitated the previous match with Michael. Michael  fought  Dennis .......... also due to his fauls. To tell the truth Michael wasn't the opponent for the Titan from Moscow. The exhausted Denis's hand was a modest gift for deft Michael ....... there are Finals  tomorrow! Who will be the winner? Will the title of the strongest in the super heavy weight class go to Europe or stay in the U.S.? Follow our news.

Denis Cyplenkov is a winner!
Finals began at 9.00. Stress, in anticipation of the final duel with Dennis and Michael Todd grew with each minute of waiting. Despite this, many people could not believe that Dennis will not be without the main prize. When asked how the hand? Dennis said that his elbow hurt a little, it will only fight for the win. And now is the time ........ after the command "start"there was no visible difference. Today it was clear that Michael Todd is confident about his power ....... After setting the "start"and Michael's hand was defeated! Denis won. It was because I played two finals Denis had lost on his account ... In the second match Denis easily won. The myth of the power of Michael evaporated like smoke. In an interview with Dennis learned that he feared above all to fight with Richard Lupkasom. You will need to prepare for a duel of two players in AMFIGHT. Miloby was interesting to look at a 6-rundowy duel between two giants. At the end of the editorial congratulates Denis victory!
