After graduating from high school, Denis left the country and moved to Moscow in the hope of developing further. But everything turned out to be not so simple - there were no friends or acquaintances and no one wanted to take Tsyplenkov seriously. However, Denis did not despair, but decided to make his way on his own. He got a job and went to the gym in his free time. A born athlete, Denis Tsyplenkov still could not go unnoticed in the capital’s gyms, and in 2002 fate brought him together with Vladimir Turchinsky.
Vladimir Turchinsky, according to Denis Tsyplenkov himself, played a huge role in his fate, as well as in the fate of many other Russian security officials. It was Vladimir who recognized the enormous power potential in Denis and invited him to his Extreme Power League, where Denis gained his popularity. “Dynamite” also insisted that Denis complete a coaching course, after which he accepted him as a coach in his “Marcus Aurelius” gym. It is worth noting that Tsyplenkov’s friend and partner in the League, and now bodybuilder Mikhail Sidorychev, also subsequently began working in this club, but after the death of Vladimir Turchinsky.
In addition to participating in the League, Tsyplenkov continued to participate in arm wrestling tournaments, but not of a professional, but of a commercial nature. However, he was always drawn to this sport and in 2008 he gladly accepted the offer of the honored arm wrestling coach Kote Razmadze to begin a real professional career as an arm wrestler.
Since then, Denis Tsyplenkov has become a world champion in arm wrestling.

Everyone thinks that the “Russian Hulk” (as they call him in America) has such big hands because of the use of growth hormone, but no! In his paternal family, all his grandfathers and uncles had such hands, heredity in a word.

From one interview:
- The money that various types of “security officials” earn... can you live normally on it?
Denis Tsyplenkov: Of course not! The most offensive thing is that the athletes are helped not by the federation, but by kind people. Take the same powerlifting. There are countless versions in it: without doping control, with doping control, in “T-shirts”, without “T-shirts”, etc. Why is this being done? To improve athletes and earn more money from them. The athlete won and was given a medal and a chocolate bar. All! And the fact that he gave $500 for the opportunity to fulfill the standard?! 500-700 people come to the competition. Good business, I tell you. I love the bench press. I went to perform in Kursk. Fulfilled the MSMK standard. I received a crust, which, as it turned out, is not listed anywhere except this federation. Basically it's a piece of paper. At the international level, only one federation is recognized - the IPF. Everything else is commerce. In arm wrestling everything is more serious. We have one federation. Trips to “Europe” and “world” are paid for. The prize money, however, is also small. (The honest truth...)
Tsyplenkov's training cycle:
Off-season 5 times a week, season 3 times maximum training weights.
The best exercise for biceps, according to Denis, is a biceps curl while sitting with a barbell. E Z fingerboard.(So let's use it guys!)
About gaining muscle mass:
Gaining muscle mass depends on how many useful and nutritious microelements your body receives. The main thing is not how much you eat at one time, but how much will be absorbed by your body. For this reason, I recommend eating little but often 5-6 times a day. Any normal body knows how much food it needs and doesn’t ask for more; in order to recover and gain weight, you need to eat more, even if you don’t feel like it. This is why you need to use gainers as an addition to a normal diet. This applies to a normal body type. For people with a huge amount of fat, everything is completely different.
Gaining muscle mass is unthinkable without taking special gainers and proteins (protein).
My advice is to use gainers that are specially made to be absorbed by the body as quickly as possible. Of course, you can use protein, but with it everything is much more complicated. In order for protein to be absorbed, you need a lot of carbohydrates to break down the protein. Amino acids work very effectively, but do not replace a normal balanced diet. If it is not possible to use gainers, then you can use amino acids.
The best manufacturers in my experience are: BSN, SAN, MHP.
What to drink during training?
During training, you need to use isotonics, special substances created to instantly restore lost energy. The most common isotonics are PowerBar, Isostar, Sponser, Gatorade, MutiPower, Powerade. I strongly advise against consuming anything else during training.
Restoration of cartilage tissue and tendons - joints and ligaments.
Weight training (barbells and dumbbells) greatly affects the condition of cartilage tissue, it decreases. After training, to prevent joint and ligament pain, I recommend taking recovery medications. You can use drugs based on Glucosamine, you can prick Handrolone or preparations based on CISSUS. Dietary supplement CISSUS for the restoration of cartilage tissue and ligaments.
I strongly advise against consuming cheap sports nutrition; remember, there are many fakes and counterfeits on our market.

Biography

Every participant in strength sports knows this modest man. And over the hill in the USA he gained popularity thanks to his huge hands.

Small successes provoked Tsyplenkov to leave for Kyiv to further develop his skills. But he decided to leave for Russia. Unfortunately, Moscow became a mystery for him in order to conquer the peaks of Olympus. Since he had practically no acquaintances and friends. All the problems were against Denis, but the athlete did not give up. He decided to get a job where he went to the gym nearby. Fortunately, on the way he met the famous Vladimir Turchinsky, who helped the newcomers develop. Turchinsky believed in the young guy and saw his potential for a security officer. All that was needed was to direct him in the right direction for development.

Vladimir Turchinsky invited young Tsyplenkov to participate in the strongman league. Thus, Denis's popularity grew quickly. Turchinsky also helped Denis with advice so that he could take a training course for gym trainers. So he began working in the Marcus Aurelius hall.

Already starting in 2004, he actively began to win various strength tournaments. For this he was invited to play for the Russian national team. To earn money, he often competed in commercial competitions.

Professional path

The popular Kote Razmadze met Denis and said that this guy would be a real champion. Thus, the famous coach helped Tsyplenkov hone his skills in armwrestling, where the athlete still wins everything. Thanks to his mentor, the amateur won the world champion title.

Denis Cyplenkov vs. John Brzenk

Numerous victories at the world level and even at the famous Arnold Schwarzenegger tournament - “Arnold Classic”. The athlete also has a victory in the A1 tournament. During his career, the Russian arm wrestler received such titles as:

The strongest man in Russia;
Absolute world champion in arm wrestling;
The largest biceps in Russia.

Strength indicators of Denis Tsyplenkov:

Squats with a barbell – 300-330 kg;
Bench press – 280-290 kg;
Deadlift – 340 kg.

As you may have guessed, Tsyplenkov is a Master of Sports in the bench press and also a master of sports in powerlifting. Now the champion is developing his business. He dreams of moving to a house near the forest, where he builds himself a cozy house, but he doesn’t forget about training.

For the forearms, standard cable curls with heavy weights are ideal. According to the athlete, it should be suitable for anyone who is starting their journey in armwrestling or simply wants to strengthen their arms. According to Tsyplenkov, you should gradually reach heavy weights, and warming up is the key to a productive workout.

Hammers with dumbbells are effective for biceps. Another trick is that in addition to the biceps, the load falls perfectly on the forearms, making them more massive. To do this, you need to take large dumbbells in your hands and perform the movement perfectly. You need to do 3 sets of 16 repetitions. Sometimes Denis practices replacing dumbbells with weights.

Conclusion

This correct approach to life has made Denis a real champion and a bigger man in Russia, who actively defends his titles of big hands and strength.
