Arsen Ayupov biography

At the age of 11 he came to the Greco-Roman struggle section-she was literally in M ​​from my house, there was a wonderful hall there, I liked everything, and I began to train. The struggle was the first sport that carried me seriously - in parallel there was volleyball, but rather like a purely leisure event. Until the age of 18, I was engaged in struggle, went to a large number of competitions - I believe that this is what laid in me both the foundation of a sporting nature and the love of sports as such.

But after school, I abandoned the struggle: firstly, from Ufa where my childhood passed, I moved to Moscow, and secondly, I started yes, at the struggle, especially Greco-Roman, there is such a negative side.

When you fight, you are constantly grabbed by the head. At the same time, the ears suffer most - cartilage breaks, and if you do not pump the liquid in time, the ears are deformed and turn into "dumplings". Mikhail Podgorny “I have a family and I have a job, and Powersport is a kind of outlet,” says Arsen in one word, I decided to try something else. At first I took up boxing, and then Hapkido.

This is a very interesting sport, Korean martial art, which combines shock equipment, and casting equipment, and elements of the struggle. In addition, I always, from school, liked to fight in my arms. I remember that in the 8th-9th grades I lost to many and it hurt me in sports. But due to the classes of the Greco-Roman wrestling, I gradually became stronger, and when the championship in arm wrestling was arranged among the x grades, I took second place.

It spurred me very well, although at that time there was no arm wrestling in my plans. But somehow he “flew” to me from different sides. Once, already in Moscow, I was invited to some kind of district Armrestling tournament. I arrived and, to my surprise, won it. The coach said that I have good makings, I started going to training, got involved, and since then, probably, I have been engaged in arm wrestling for ten years now.

I have always been a purposeful person. If he set himself goals in his studies, then he achieved them - he graduated from the school with a gold medal, an institute with a red diploma. The same in sports - I set myself the goal of becoming a winner of the Moscow Championship. At first I did not succeed. But after five years, I became Moscow vice-champion.

Although he took the second place, and not the first, I forgave it: the champion was too unattainable. Then I twice became a winner of the championships of Moscow and the Moscow region. But when I already achieved these results, I felt boring. It would seem why not to become the first - in Moscow, Russia, etc. I tried myself at the championships of Russia, but I saw that “charged” guys often come to champion places - that is, those who use anabolic steroids.

And I have always been a pure athlete, I never used forbidden doping. Sports nutrition - yes. Proteins, BCAA, amino acids, sometimes creatine, but this is all from the permissible and even recommended - in order to be easier to recover. I do three times a week in preparation for the competition - four after work. I come to the room in the clock in, I train for at least two hours in a word, I decided to try myself in something, but as part of a power sport.

I liked to train with the heaviness, but not just to go to the hall, but to achieve some result. And I became interested in such a discipline as the bench press lying. At that time, I raised KG and set myself the goal of becoming a master of sports. And for this, in my category 90 kg, it was necessary to press kg. I included this exercise in one of my training and for three years I went to the result of kg.

He performed a couple of competitions, fixed this result and also considered that so far this is enough for me. And then a comrade told me about such a new discipline as Powersport. It includes two elements-the rise of the bar on the biceps and this is a purely power exercise, you are standing evenly and do not help yourself with a jerk and the bench press standing again, standing evenly, without bending your legs.

It turned out that this sport has its own associations, including in Russia, that very large tournaments are held. This hooked me - especially since thanks to arm wrestling, I had very well developed biceps. I went to the first tournament, but lost it because I overestimated my strength and set myself too much weight. But I prepared, and the next competition has already ended with my victory.

It was a regional championship, and I decided that I had to try yourself in this further. He studied for three years, actively performed, won two international tournaments. Poddubny, the European Championship, became the champion of Russia several times. My best result for today is a victory at the World Cup.
