Frank Pizzo Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Wow that's crazy strong...I think the list of people who could cheat curl over 300 for reps is pretty short. This is one of the best performances I've seen on video. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The thickness of his hands, arms, and self in general is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electron Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I bet he'd make short work of any existing strict curl records. Would love to see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvance Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 i'd like to see him and CT Fletcher do an arm workout.. they would DEMOLISH everybody's self esteem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Magnus did this same feat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 "Call me maybe" playing in the background definitely helped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 While I find this super impressive and a crazy feat of strength - calling those "curls" is pretty iffy. His arms are "locked" and the angle never changes. Maybe they are so big they can't move but "curls" - come on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they're so big they cant move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slazbob Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Some don't like to train past lockout. I know Al Turner trained His guys that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1stCoC Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Very short list.....wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I'm with Chris; no curls were done. That said, very few people could move that weight in that fashion. Will he be the first to slay the Bigfoot of Curling and strictly curl a 100# db or just fall to the wayside as another guy "that could do it easily if he tried"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasparov Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 while I definitely cannot, I assume this guy could curl 100lb strict in 1 hand. (I only assume) because the 1 guy who did curl 100lbs semi strict (Rob V.) could probably not beat Cyplenkov at aw'ing. Your right, Rob.V would not be able to beat Cyplenkov either arm, Denis is off the charts in terms of arm strength, Rob is a great puller though.

kasparov Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 The thickness of his hands, arms, and self in general is crazy. Yes when I asked Devon the other week about Denis he mentioned that Denis is a mutant....I asked him how he would beat Cyplenkov, and he mentioned that he would get his entire body behind his bicep lock, and at the same time try and isolate Denis's extremely strong bicep..they could meet in top 16 later this year.

ironwarrior Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I bet he'd make short work of any existing strict curl records. Would love to see that. I wrote the rules and started the United States Strict Curl Assoc (USSCA) back in 1987, and in 1988 put on a contest at Venice Beach, which drew 14 lifters. The following year it doubled to 29, and the following year (1990), with lifters from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Canada, as well as the USA, the number increased to 53 for the inaugural Strict Curl World Championships. CT Fletcher did his record of 225 lbs (the most performed with my rules) in 1992 in Norwalk, CA, which I was one of the referees witnessing. I've had 2 or 3 strong bodybuilders claim 300-350 lb cheat curls, but 175-180 lbs is about their limit using the rules. Now even though CT's record is DAMN respectable, I'd really love to see what some of the elite current strongmen (Shaw, et al, even Samuelsson who was reputed to have the strongest arms back in the late 90s) could max out with. I had asked veteran strongman Odd Haugen who lives not too far from me, to give it a try but a bicep injury from several years prevents him from performing anything heavy. My guess is 250 lbs might be the limit for the very strongest. Thoughts? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, there's this guy who's quite full of himself yet he can bicep curl (used a bit of momentum) 345 lbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36AyTieEC9s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen Andrey Pushkar beat Cyplenkov, and he did it fast. I'd like to see Larratt face him, but I don't see him grinding out a victory against Cyplenkov. On a side note, how is Cyplenkov that big? Just hard to believe he's natty. Do they even test in arm wrestling? He looks like he's been taking growth hormones and steroids for a long time. Russia's reputation supports the argument. If so, he has no business opposite a natty in competition. Exhibition bout, maybe. If you take PEDs, they take the credit.

mgalovic Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 And sorry, I don't mean to hijack your thread or anything. It's just that when I see guys like that its like a walking bill board for PEDs. I could be wrong, idk. And, I don't mean to shame those who do or have used them. I just think it should be disclosed.

Magnus Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 By that point there's nothing to be "disclosed". No one's wondering whether or not he's using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
