Finished!

Sisådärja. Nu är jag hemma efter ett blött pass på klubben, genomsvett är kanske ett bättre ord,för det var just vad jag var-och alla andra i gymmet också för den delen, ventilationen var obefintlig och ute var det lika varmt. Roligt var det iallafall, riktigt kul att vara igång igen, även om jag hade önskat att jag kunde börja där jag slutade,dvs före inflammationen i axeln.

” Det känns som jag aaaaldrig kommer att komma upp på stora vikter igen” sa jag till Anders idag, som tittade på mig och sa, “Äschhhh, det kooooommer. Lugn.” Jag vet att han har rätt, det är väl jag som är otålig bara. Tålamod är min sämta egenskap.

Det blev ett bra pass och fick till några riktigt bra lyft. Som avslut körde vi en massor av mage, “vi”- det var Matilda, Jennifer och Kristoffer,(JÄTTEKUL att se dig igen!!!) ett riktigt bra gäng.

På väg hem stannade vi på Max, 3 hamurgare swischade ner i magen av bara farten. Väl hemma kastade av mig kläderna – så skönt som det var att duscha efter det här passet har det nog aldrig varit :)

Må väl!

Utanför gymmet stod Peter Forsbergs ( BB) trike parkerad. Riktigt cool, eller hur?

Yep, now I am home after a wet workut at the club, through sweat is perhaps a better word, cause it was exactly what I was and so was everyone else in the gym, the ventilation was non-existent and outside, it was equally hot.It has been some really nice days here in Gävle, about 27-28 C* everyday, clearblue sky and no wind.It is nice, but it’s really hard to train when it is that hot in the gym.

It was a really good workout, feels grea to be back up, although I whish that I could start where I left off, ie before the inflammation in the shoulder.

“It feels like I neeeeeeeever will do big weights again,” I said to Anders today, he looked at me and said, ” Come oooooon, no worries! Relax.” I know he is right, I am impatient. Patience is not my best quality …

It was a good session and I did some really good lifts. We concluded with lots off abs exersices and “we” – it was Matilda, Jennifer and Kristoffer (great to see you again!) A really good team!

On the way home we stopped at “Max”, 3 hamurgers swished down in the stomach in one move. LOL. Back home I threw my clothes off – and I promise- It has never felt better to shower as this evening:)

Take care,

Hugs!!!

Outside the gym was Peter Forsbergs (IFBB) trike parked. Really cool, right?

Strong chicks;)

“Ny vecka och nya möjligheter”, som min pappa brukar säga, eller ett annat av hans favorit uttryck” Go on fighting”, ja, han är ju boxningsfanatiker som jag redan tidigare nämnt, en vandrande hårddisk och kan det mesta om matcher, boxare, coacher och ronder.När jag åker och hälsar på skall det alltid kollas boxning på You tube ;)

Jag gillar boxning och hade nog gärna satsat på det om jag inte valt lyftningen, därför känns det speciellt kul att träna tillsammans med en riktigt hård brud (!) Matilda Nerén 17 år som tränar tyngdlyftning i kombination med boxningen. SM guld är bara början på vad vi kommer att se av Matilda..

Imorgon är det dax för träning med Anders igen, vid närmare eftertanke är vi ett ganska coolt gäng tjejer som tränar ihop, Jennifer -ledande i Sverige i slägga i sin åldersgrupp, Elisabeth som spelar i landslaget i rugby, Matilda -svensk junior mästare i boxning, Mickis som tävlat på SM nivå i slalom.

Och så jag.. Det är roligt att våra skilda sporter ändå har en genemsam nämnare, tyngdlyftningen o Anders;)

Ses imorgon brudar! ( Och killar.. det är dax att komma upp från vattnet) ;)

Min coola träningskompis Matilda- du är grym!!

:)

“A new week and new opportunities “, as my dad used to say, or another of his favorite expressions” Go on fighting” .Yes, he is a boxing fanatic, I have already mentioned it, he’s a wandering hard drive and knows all about the matches, boxers , coaches and rounds and when I go and see him, we always watch boxing on You tube;)

I like boxing and wouldlove to train it, but it’s hard beacuse of the OL training, so it’sgreat fun to train with a really tough girl, Matilda Nerén 17 years, who practicing weightlifting in combination with boxing. She ‘s a Swedish champion ( Junior) and this is just the beginning of what we will see of Matilda ..

Tomorrow it’s time for training with Anders again, we are a pretty cool bunch of girls who train together, Jennifer -who is the leader in Sweden in slegde (her age class), Elisabeth- playing in the national team in rugby, Matilda-Swedish junior champion in boxing. Mickis- Competed at national level in ski .

And me:) It is funny that all the different sports still have a common denominator, the weight lifting.

See you tomorrow babes! (And guys .. it’s time to come up from the water, no excuses!!)

In the heat of Ockelbo Showlifting

Ockelbo Showlifting i år kan sammafattas med ett ord. Varmt. För det var det, kanske värst för de tävlande och funktionärerna som fick kämpa i hettan, tyckte fakiskt synd om en del.. själv satt jag i en solstol vid FREDDY montern med mina kompisar hela dagen (!) och tittade på tävlingarna ;) Väldigt kul hade vi!

Det var en lyckad och välorganiserad tävling och väldigt roligt att träffa gamla bekanta, många jag inte träffat på länge kom och tittade.

På kvällen åkte vi alla (delar av bekantskapskretsen) till Anders stuga för att fika innan vi skiljdes åt, Siv, Tommi, Thavo, Jorma och Carina. Tommi drog ut på stan för att festa och ligger nu bakfull i vår soffa och snarkar (” nej, nej, nej.. jag snarkar ALDRIG”)

Carina och Jorma har stannat kvar i Gävle i natt och lite senare åker vi alla ut till stranden. Jag har faktiskt inte badat än i år, så det kanske är dax för ett premiärdopp?

Må så gott!!

Tävlingsbilder kommer att finnas på www.bolestrongteam.se inom kort

Ockelbo Show Lifting this year can be summarized in one word. HOT. It was really hot there, perhaps it was worst for the contestants who had to fight in the heat, while I sat in the Freddy stand with my friends all day (!) and watched at the show. We hade a really nice time;)

It was a successful and well organized competition and it was great fun to meet good old friends. Some of them I have’nt seen for years!

In the evening we all went to Anders cottage for coffee before we all separated , Siv, Tommi, Thavo, Jorma and Carina. Tommi (Kokkare) went to the town to party and is now lying in our couch and snore, probably with a hung-over. lol ( “No, no .. I NEVER snore”)

Carina and Jorma has remained in Gävle this night and we’ll catch up a little later to go to the beach.

Take care!

Floyd Patterson (USA) v Ingemar Johansson (SWEDEN) Yankee Stadium USA

Idag är det 50 år sedan Sveriges Ingemar Johansson vann den historiska matchen på Yankee Stadium i New York. Sveriges första och enda tungviktsmästare genom tiderna och den största svenska idrottsmannen i historien enligt min mening.

Må du vila i frid Ingemar.

Today it is 50 years since Sweden’s Ingemar Johansson won the historic match at Yankee Stadium in New York. Sweden’s first and only heavyweight champion ever.
RIP Ingemar.

..remember

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more ; Whine less, breath more; Talk less, say more; Love more and all the good things will be yours..

Take care friends!

Ni som är ute kommunikationsflödet känner säkert till sajten Facebook och kanske har en profil där. Det har jag. Det är ett roligt sätt att hålla kontakten men vänner och få nya bekantskaper. Ibland kan man göra sk Quiz, en slags frågesport och igår gjorde jag .”Villken slags kvinna är du” . Inte helt oväntat blev svaret Action ( Wo)man.

Jag översätter inte texten, det blir mer underhållande på engelska.;)

“Wow, you are so tough! Other women admire you for this trait. They look up to you because you can keep up with the opposite sex. They want to have your athletic body, your strength and willpower. And every woman needs this – that’s true. But you are unreachable. No guy could ever capture your heart. Maybe also because your heart got too hard. But don’t exaggerate. Remember: You are a woman and woman reflect god’s beauty and inner (emotional) strength, but not his physical strength. Show your beauty AND your strength! Sooner or later you will be in the know that inner power and self-confidence are more important in a woman’s life than muscles. :) If you think you have to prove to the males that you are as strong as they are you will not only fail, you will recognize that it’s comletely senseless because this is not your destiny. Men have this little bullshit growin in their head that says they always have to be stronger than the other men. Don’t descend to this level. You’re more worth than that. BUT: The world needs strong women, womankind needs you! Establish your strengths in the right way.”

Brevid resultatet var en bild på Angelina Jolie ur en scen där hon spelar hjälte. Texten ovan är förstås med en smula ironi, men det var roligt och det som var intressant var den diskussion som följde. Här är delar av kommentarerna..

x says:

“You calling Angel Jolie an action hero?
Isn’t that like Superman calling Jimmy Olsen a superhero?
Seriously! Couldn’t you just unscrew her head off of her body like a bottle of Ketchup?”
Josefin: “Hahah , you’re right lol Angelina Jolie is not a typical action hero to me. Would’nt trust her to protect me lol”
XX says
“Now that would be funny. Angelina protecting Josefin.”
x says
“If you were duct taped to a chair by the bad guys which would you rather hear?:
A. “Angelina Jolie is writing a letter to Amnesty International.”
B. “Josefin Brander is coming up the stairs with a baseball bat.”
(Assuming they have baseball bats in Sweden?)”
x xsays
Or even if there weren’t bad guys involved … Josefin Brander is coming up the stairs … that sounds good too. Who needs bad guys for a fantasy. lol”
xx says
“But I’m duct taped to a chair!!!”
x says
“Josefin would free you. Ah what the heck, watching Josefin take out a troop of bad guys would be a heck of a lot of fun too. I’m going with it now Eric.”

Det var lite underhållande att läsa och samtidigt fick det mig att tänka på varför de flesta kvinnliga skådesplearna som spelar actionhjältar är väldigt smala? Förvisso otroligt snygga..men inte särskilt realistiskt att en 45 kg kvinna skulle kunna rädda världen. ( Inte en 90 kg kvinna heller kanske, men visuellt sätt mer trovärdigt.)

Villken kvinnlig skådespelare skulle du vilja bli räddad av om du var i fara? ( Läs du medverkar i en film)

Enligt rykten gör nu Becca Swansson (världens geom tiderna starkaste kvinna) en satsning på Hollywood efter att ha lagt ner styrkelyfts karriären. Kanske får vi snart se riktig kvinnlig styrka i action filmerna?

Hoppas på det!

If you are in the communication flow you are undoubtedly familiar with “Facebook” and may have a profile there? I have. It is a fun way to keep in touch with old friends and make new acquaintances. Sometimes you can make so-called Quiz, and yesterday I did. “Which type of woman are you.” Not surprisingly, the answer became Action (Wo) man.
…Wow, you are so tough! Other women admire you for this trait. They look up to you because you can keep up with the opposite sex. They want to have your athletic body, your strength and willpower.

Beside the result was a picture of Angelina Jolie in a scene where she plays the hero. The text above is with a bit of irony, but it was fun and what was interesting was the discussion that followed. Here are parts of the comments ..

…Fun to read and it got me thinking about WHY most actresses who are playing action heroes is so skinny? Well, they are beautiful.. .. but not very realistic that a 45 kg woman would be able to save the world. (Not a 90 kg woman eiher.. perhaps.Though more reliable)

According to rumors, Becca Swanson ( worlds strongest woman) have now started a career in Hollywood and left the powerlifting behind. Perhaps we’ll soon see some real female power in the action movies?
If you could choose, who would you like to be saved if you were in danger? (woman)
