http://mansrinne.com/blog About lifting weights naturally Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:56:45 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2009/12/82 Well, post-meet training has got off pretty well. I returned to Bill Pearl’s program from where I left off; month 3. I have to say that it seems this type of training suits me quite well, actually. I know I’ve said this before, but I would never have thought this ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2008/03/81 Well, the meet came and went (7-9.th of march). As the final results aren’t in yet, I’m not sure how I did, but I’m pretty confident that I did alright. - My squats went well, and I lifted what I assumed I would, which is 160kgs / 352lbs. - My bench ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2008/03/80 Yes, I decided to join the meet some time ago, and also decided it might be a good idea to do some prepping as well… SO, to make a long story a bit shorter; -I started by doing 5×5’s the first week, and also did my regular training alongside. It ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2008/02/79 Yes, I know. I’ve been skipping on my blogging…again. Anyhow, here’s what I’ve been doing for the past month or so, training-wise. I started on Bill Pearl’s program again. However, those of you who’ve been reading my archives while I’ve been lazying will notice a marked difference this time. This ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2008/01/78 Check this out… Even I wanna join that class! Picture copied with much delight from www.engrish.com! Go there for some serious laughs! Highly recommended..! http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2007/11/77 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 ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2007/11/76 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 ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2007/10/75 I recently found a very “new” gym, located in the heart of our nation’s capital; Helsinki. Or, more to the point, new for me. This gym, aptly named Punttis (”Gym” in colloquial Finnish), has been around for a long time, as evidenced by their machines. Some of them look as if ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2007/10/74 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 ... http://mansrinne.com/blog/archives/2007/09/72
