JP builds up to Finlands Strongest 105 in 2013

[JP]

Crew was definitely top notch!

I did some bodybuilding pressing and I think 115 log on monday, and then sulked for a while pondering if I should pull out of finlands strongest man.

I had the dream of qualifying to the finals, but now they dropped the amount if people who qualify to just 6 out of 17 killing my chances.

Also they moved viking press out of qualifiers to the finals, need to do stones instead.

But yeah I will do it anyway...

haisuli, it would be cool to meet you there couple people have said they are coming... but i am not very good company during the comps

lordy, i am thinking if i am not doing all that well due to lack of training, at least my biceps will look better. Rock solid reasoning, eh?

Reminds me of one of Mark Bell's tips. If you feel banged up just try a new lift and max it out. That way you´ll still set a PB

[JP]

on sunday did some showlifting at the stuttgart veggie street fair, awesome vegan event with over 3000 people attending. Well obviously they didnt all watch us lift, but several hundred did It was great fun.

I did some log lifting, i think 115 and some kind of failure with 130+, and 10x200 deadlift etc etc, good fun.

Hope so, good luck!

Btw, looks like I'm gonna be there! Tomorrow I'll visit eye clinic to show my fucked up left eye, if they don't do anything that prevents travelling, most likely nothing will stop me. Never seen such a comps live, it will be interesting! Any VF-people coming? I'm going there by train.

wouldnt blame anyone if they decided against coming to watch some weird fucking sport in that rain and cold
