Old-School Iron

What’s this?? Could it-? Yes, I think it is!! An update!
I’ve been promising myself among others that I’d write this post since the VirtualMeet Gathering this past summer, and I know this update is looong overdue. My apologies. Partly this is due to the fact that at my current place of employment there’s no […]

Time for a news flash..!
My training is running relatively smoothly now, with me actually training in the mornings sometimes! Almost unheard of, this isn’t something that happens way early though, but rather around 10 am, before going to the evening shift at work from 12 onwards.
The training is centered around good old powerbuilding with […]

I wish to extend public congratulations to Kris, my long-time friend and training buddy!
The family Lindqvist/Karjalainen was extended by an additional member yesterday, see.
A cute baby girl, who in Kris’ words: “seems calm, but looks can be deceiving…”.
Anyhow, congrats again and the best of health to all four of you!

Well, the VirtualMeet went by with a swoosh…
I have to say it was an experience, mostly due to Kris’ outdoor gym at his family’s summer cottage in Vaasa.
My training has returned to more mass-building oriented stuff than powerlifting. I can’t seem to maintain my mass with that kind of training, and so […]

I have two weeks of vacation time starting on Sunday, that is tomorrow is still work as usual, but on Monday I’m on holiday…
This is perfect, since we’re going to take a day-cruise over the Gulf of Finland from Helsinki to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The cruise includes – get this; a buffet breakfast! […]

Walking through the gate of Pearl
I thought I’d make this headline one with a dual meaning, for some unwarranted fun on my part.
The first meaning of course referring to the recent server problem, which I will allow Kris to describe in full detail. This is to say he’s the computer wiz, and I’m the […]

As Metal Gym has, at least for now, been closed, me and Kris went to try a new aquaintance; Hot Gym.
It’s a pretty basic affair, with lots of machines and weights, the regular fitness/bodybuilding gym. I kinda liked it. It’s rather small, being located in a converted movie theater (the theater moved out in 1986), […]

First off, webstore.
This idea has been brewing in my head for well over a year now, and will hopefully soon come to fruition. At least, it’s looking like it’ll happen quite soon. It’ll feature supplements and clothing mostly to begin with… I already have a supplier ready and waiting…
Second, my training. […]

Finally..!
Some time to write about the things that’ve happened since last time.
The draught in southern Finland lasted a whole three months, during which time not a single drop of rain came. This naturally resulted in some birches looking like it was september or something, and I think we’ll see next spring how many of […]

As promised on Kris’ site, a new feature emerged.
But I thought I’d be including some other pics as well… Enjoy!
Here you go, the ominous cloud of a storm brewing. Got this while walking on the parking lot, as I was coming home at something like 12.30 AM after a nice workout at Metal. I […]
