Iron Clad Champs Logo Concept

Initials + Dumbbell logo concept for faux brand 'Iron Clad Champs' a fitness league for pro body builders.
.
Had made this mark a year ago for a similar fitness league (different name, same initials). However, it was rejected. I was glancing over my past works for preparing a backup and I found this guy lying around. So I thought to give it a make over! I'm really proud to see how much I've learned in a span of one year. Gotta keep on improving!
.
For the pattern I wanted something to depict Iron Grating, not too similar but not to distant.
.
Would love to know your thoughts!
