The International Strongman Champions League 2009 is almost upon us, with only a month to go! The very
best of the International Strongman scene are coming to Wembley Arena to compete in what will be the
biggest International Strongman competition EVER SEEN IN THE UK! Make sure you buy tickets now to secure the best seats! Tickets will be more on the day!

Denim Bison caught up with reigning Strongman Champions League champions the ‘Big Z’, Zydrunas Savickas recently at his gym as he prepared for ISCL ‘09. He’s presently training one day a week for two hours each for all of the six athletic events. On top of this, he’s also training 2 – 3 hours a day of general weightlifting, consumes approximately 5000-6000 calories per day, never consumes alcohol & does not smoke. That’s championship form!

Denim Bison also caught up with UK legend, Mark Felix who said of the ISCL ‘09, ‘This event is the biggest ever international strongman competition to come to England, we need to show how popular Strongman as a sport is, so anyone considering it should buy a ticket to see how we compete live. It would be great to have some support for Terry Hollands & I on home turf!’.

Felix also mentioned about the level of competition at the event, saying ‘ You can’t count out anyone, that’s the addictive thing about Strongman. Twelve points available in each event make it very exciting as anything can happen. I won’t be taking anything for granted!’

TOZCEK OUT, DYMEK IN!

Regrettably, Slawomir Tozcek has had to pull out of ISCL ‘09 because of personal reasons.

However taking his place is none other than Polish legend Jarek Dymek! Jarek Dymek is currently preparing for the World’s Strongest Man competition, which he will follow by attempting to claim the title of ISCL ‘09 champion!

Jarek’s training for these large events consists of 3 hours training 5 – 6 days a week, with not only weights but including circuits, cardio & ply metrics. Jarek is known for his static power & will be looking to mount a serious challenge to Savickas, Hollands & Murumets for the title of ISCL ‘09 champion by dominating events like the Deadlift & the Log Lift.

An experienced competitor, Jarek knows what to expect from the competition & will have no doubt already
have experience against most of the field. Popularly acknowledged as one of the best strongmen not only in Poland but throughout the world, Dymek mounts a serious threat to the rest of the field!

Through his training, Dymek now boasts personal bests of 255kg on the Bench Press, a 335kg weight Squat maximum & a maximum Dead Lift weight of 395kg

Make sure Jarek Dymek knows about the Polish support on the day by ensuring your tickets for only £20 adult & £10 child at www.strongmancllondon.co.uk!

Hey everyone, hope everything is good & you’re all training for qualification into the ISCL 2010?

We’ve been a little quiet on the update front, but behind the scenes we have been working like rats trapped in a spinning treadmill! We have some great developments for existing & new ISCL ticket holders.

Thanks to the kind folks at LA Muscle, we’re able to offer new & existing ISCL ticket holders 10% of your first order from LA Muscle! This will take the form of an exclusive code you will receive when you order your ticket, which can then be used in on the LA Muscle website to obtain your discount. People who’ve already bought their tickets will receive their code from their point of issue over the coming days.

We have more offers like this coming up soon, £ soon hope to announce a similar deal for those of you coming from out of London & looking to make a weekend of it with hotels, so hold off booking hotels for the time being!

We are also happy to introduce the group ticket, where a group of 10 or more adult tickets can be bought at an average price of £15 per ticket! Combine this with our forthcoming hotel offer & that’s an affordable weekend away for those coming from out of town!

This month, check out the UK’s biggest Martial Arts magazine COMBAT & the highly respected FIGHTERS magazine, who will have a feature on some of the strongmen at the ISCL ‘09, including current World Champion Zydrunas Savickas & series leader Andrus Murumets!

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be releasing a series of trailers for the event, as well as some other goodies which must as yet remain secret. The first of these trailers is on the ISCL ‘09 website, www.strongmancllondon.co.uk!

We’d also like to mention our partners of the ISCL so far, all of whom we’d like to personally recommend & suggest you check out their website via the links on the ISCL website. They’re all good & helpful people.

And finally, my old mantra still remains in what is fast becoming my catchphrase: The ISCL is an event for fans, by fans so the support of all of you is greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone who has supplied details for flyering & postering, they will be coming soon I promise! Remember to join the Facebook group & spread the word by inviting everyone you know to the group!

I’d also personally like to add it’s been an honour to see how many people out there are so passionate about this sport, it’s what drives us on!

All the best,

Marco & Sandra – Denim Bison
