Paklaamo!

Kuten jo taisin kertoa Lontooksi, Paklaamo jatkaa tukemistani edelleen :) Marika & co. on huolehtinut hiukset ja nassun kuntoon ja omaan kisatraditiooni kuulukin tuollainen naisellinen hömppä eli vietän tiiviisti kisaa edeltävän viikon koristelemalla ihoa ja kynsiä. Mikä olisikaan parasta kuin maata muutama tunti kasvohoidossa kisojen painaessa päälle?

Kisojen kunniaksi Marika humautti tarjouksen

I have trained

Yes I really have! But I had an eye injury (pics :) ) I will not write much because I will update my website completely – maybe before Classic Worlds. Hopefully..

For three days I could not see normally. By the end of the week my eye started to get better and I managed to train a little bit as well. I will now add the video and write more next week. I will supposedly have much more time. (Hopefully :) ) because the last two weeks I have just run from one place to another.

But now I will go shopping. A friend of mine (Janne) is getting married tomorrow and I don’t know yet what to wear :)

Have a nice WKND <3

And lets continue about my trip !

So I had a seminar in Germany and it started 10.4.

First we visited in ST.Wendel

St. Wendel wind park

The weather was not as warm as I was waiting for but thank god the situation changed when I travelled to Stuttgart. I saw my first flowers and the sun was shining. I also trained BUT only light stuff. That is why I will not write my trainings in that much detail.

On Thursday I trained and met Uwe. Long time no see and it was so nice to meet my old friend from Germany <3 :) After my training I was full of energy (the reason might be this “little” chicken caesar salad :)

Salad

On Friday I had a long day at work so I just bought some chocolate and rest for the Saturday’s shopping day :) I forgot to take some pictures about my new clothes but maybe I will manage to do it before my next article..

Bietigheim-Bissingen

Some chocolate

 

Königstrasse and lets start shopping ;)

I found plenty of nice Spring clothes. Now I just need to wait for Spring.

On Sunday we went hiking in Fellbach and visited the old Chappel as well. The weather was awesome – more than 20 degrees! – so it was nice to spend the whole day outside. Pics

Me and my -spanish/swedish/argentinian - colleagues

 

Chappel

Like you can see we were walking in the wine areas. We had a wine tasting and snack there organized and it was a very nice ending for the nice day.

Monday was again a normal seminar day and a training day for me as well and on Tuesday we visited the Bauma fair.

Little Engineer @ München

Wednesday was our last day and I went to watch football. VfB was playing against Freiburg for the German Cup’s semifinal and they won! The atmosphere was awesome – better than ever @Mercedes Benz Arena when I have visited there.

VfB-Freiburg

I was so tired when I arrived at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport… So I decided not to take part in UKK-camp because I needed some rest. ‘

At home the nice surprise was waiting for me. My Magnesium sprays had arrived! Like I mentioned before Nordic Health Spay Ltd is supporting me and now I can continue using those sprays. I was trying them a couple of years ago and it was one of the easiest and best ways for me to get some extra magnesium in my body. Hopefully it will help me with my back  muscle cramps..

Thank you Minna! :)

One of the most important things was that I will start dieting.. But I will not eat less calories – I need to start eating!

My old friend – Juha Ryödi – will help me with my goals and hopefully I will learn how to eat. Now I have had huge problems with eating for a long time. But hey, Now it is good time to make the change.

Who will eat all this food????

 

Because of my lighter week I do not have taken any videos. Sry about that :)

But this week I will start my journey to the Classic Worlds so much more information will be coming.

I hope you all very nice week and hopefully the spring will come

xoxo

Anni

ps. Jani told me to remind you to join “my fan club”

Pss.  I will try to start TWEETING :D DD

This week was full off thinking, packing and training. Learning new thigs is quite frustrating because I would love to learn it with the first shot but nope. Weightlifting is sometimes so difficult. Actually it is always.

Eastern week I needed to finish my moving. I tried to train as well but the funny this is that in Helsinki all gyms all closed when is holiday. COME ON! The best time for training is when you have a holiday. … So just one training day during the eastern and it was in Kerava with Katha.

Sry mates that my post about my training is veeery long now :) I will try to write more often ;)

On monday we tooked some pics because I have a new sponsor. Gym42 and UNCS.

This week has been different. I have had a lot of work but I have been very hard working. Trainings have been nice and easy and life has been nice. I really like my style of life eventhough I have not so much “private time” but exercising is something I love.

But now – enjoy the video in the end.


Finnish Weightlifting Championship and Finnish Powerlifting Championship


Posted by admin

I am sick. I am totally dead after two hard weekends. At first I had to go to Kalajoki where the National Weightlifting Championships took place. I had no idea of what kind of result I would be able to do because my back was hurting the whole February.

Anyway, on Friday I felt myself pretty ok when I arrived to our cottage. My competition was on Sunday and I lifted  in the morning. My Bodyweight was 66,11 kg and I was happy – “just” three kilos to drop for the powerlfiting nationals.

Me and 66 kilos bodyweight

My competition was terrible – I was so stressed! I was afraid that I would fail my snatch, but there was no problem with my starter at 72 kilos. It was pretty easy as was my second attempt, 75 kilos. With the last one I tried 78 kilos but it was too much this time.

After snatch my back started to hurt.  But I solved the problem with Capsicam and magnesium oil but I was still very uncertain about the clean and jerk. When Mika told me that I need to start with 92 kilos I was terrified. It was too much! I asked him to drop my started to 90 kilos and he did it.

90 kilos was my most difficult lift but I got 3 white lights. 95 kilos was my second attempt and it was much easier than my first one. Mika told me after my second attempt that this could be the day when I am supposed to try 100 kilos. So i tried and lifted it. ! ! ! Check the video in the end.

100kilos clean and jerk

After the competition I checked out my cleans from the Analyzer and I noticed something funny… The pull height of my first and my last attemp were similar! So could it be said, that there are still kilos to gather?

My shape after Kalajoki competition

On Monday I flew back to Helsinki and finally I was back home. I also had some good news – I have found a new apartment and I will move on the 1st of April .. On the other hand I am pretty sad. I need to live alone without Jani. Thank god he promised me that we will start to go to Pilates lessons together <3 :) It feels so weird to live without him.. I have gotten used to hearing the sounds of NHL and the dirty socks  under our kitchens table :D   but seriously, I will miss him a lot but this way I do not need a car and it doesn’t take that long to go to Ruskeasuo.

The whole week I just tried to drop my weight and on Friday morning it was 65,8 kilos. I stopped drinking and after my work day it was already 64,4 kilos. I went to sauna and I manage to get my goal – 63,5 kilos and it was time to sleep. But, I could not do that. I had fever the whole night and I felt terrible. First time I needed to compete with one and a half hours’ sleep…

63,5 kgs

My bodyweight was 62,90 on the scale and warming up went well.  I decided to start with easy lifts and my starters were 130/77,5/150. Squats were all easy and I hope I will manage to get my next goal, 160 kilos in Classic World Championship. Bench was terrible like always because I have not trained it at all. I was very disappointed to my DL but like my coach said, if you do not train sumo dl it is difficult to do your best on the stage.

We had a big conversation when I was waiting for doping test. We talked about WL Europeans and we had the same opinion that it was a good decision to skip Europeans this time. Now we have time to increase my strength and at the same time concentrate on WL technique.  We talked about this year’s competitions. and below is a list of my coming goals:

  • Powerlifting Classis World Championship in Russua
  • Universiade in Kazan
  • WC in WL in Poland
  • Team Competition in Powerlifting

I will take a part in the WC in WL if I manage to do a good enough result for that. So it is not sure yet. But now I have some kind of idea about this year and the future seems to be ok. :)

Very ill and tired but still a bit happiness in the air :)

www.v-15.org !

My back is better now and I am waiting to start my trainings. Like I told you I will move closer to my training place. I decided to sell my car and start sparing some money. I will need it if I want to concentrate on training in the future.

Second decision was, that after Russia WC I will stop dieting. The year 2013′s last diet will take a place in May and in June and then I will start to gather some muscle. I will not eat only pizzas so I will try to do it with a more clever way. I need to take care that my trainings include high enough volume and that the food’s quality is great. We will see then how I will look afterwards and if it is still possible to compete in 63 kilos weight category. But 2014 I will not compete in powerlifting (under 63 kilos… ) this year will be very important to me if I am thinking about 2015 World championship in Finland. (PL).

Powerlifting can be fun as well!

In the end I will add some sad news. Seppo Hyökki, the man who solved my back problems and whose tips have helped me and Jani a lot passed away on Friday. I will miss you Seppo <3

But now. The lifts from my weekends. Enjoy!

Anni

Gold medals in snatch, C & J, Total in WL and Powerlifting!


Too much difficulties and too little time


Posted by admin

Spring has always meant to me  diet and competitions. Even thought Weightlifting Nationals are coming (as well as Powerlifting) I have not this special feeling. I am very uncertain about competing this time.

My new shoes

After December I have tried to heal my back. Like I thought it is muscular pain. I need to increase my abs and during working time I need to do some work out. I have found my old friend – the magnesium spray.  It has helped me a lot and I really need to use it now.

But that was my general news!

—

After my Graduating party and weekend in Vierumäki I spent weekend with my parents in Eura.  After Vierumäki I have some difficulties to manage my training program through because my back was hurting, again.  But still trainings on 10. February were better than before and I had some hope to compete in Kalajoki.  But my difficulties continued and my coach told me that he has no more time to coach me :’( On Monday we kept a meeting with Mika – Finnish National Team Coach – and talked what I should do. Mika promise to start coaching me (yippee :) ) and I had a good feeling to start my road tip and journey to Kalajoki where I supposed to stay the week 7.

Site visit in Mäkikangas and eating some sausage (Or watching when others are eating)

We had our Team Building days in Kalajoki in week 7 and I flight to Oulu 12.2.g. I trained there with Miika Antti-Roiko (the best lifter in Finland and very good friend of mine – check out the video!) and I noticed that my back was very tight again. So less kilos on the bar and on Tuesday I just wanted to recover from travelling. But on Wednesday it was not better at all so it was time just to squat. And my bad phenomenon continues on Thurday.

During week 7 I spent a lot of time stretching and walking and recovering. It was a good idea and on Saturday I managed to snatch 75 kilos pretty easily in Rovaniemi. I was planned to stay the whole week 8 in Rollo, but a friend moved to Helsinki and asked me to join to the road trip. On Monday I trained last time in Rovaniemi before Nationals and I managed to C&J my new 2x record (check the video in the end). The whole Tuesday I spent in car and on Wednesday was time to train with Mika. It went pretty well. No huge pains, no failures. I felt my self pretty satisfied afterwards. This feeling continues on Thursday in Tampere.

Rovaniemi

On Saturday I trained together with guys from Pyrintö and Miika was there as well. He snatched his personal record (155kg) and clean and  jerk 200kgs. It might took some time before someone else do it at the Alasali :)

New Hair!

So quite boring life like I said but it is my normal spring! Training, training, less eating and waiting for summer.

I will write some news after my competitions and if there is a live stream I will give you a link. But you should not wait anything special now, because I am not waiting that either. I will need time to learn technigues if I really want to be a good Weightlifter :)

Vierumäki FTW

My new hair

Finally, all my hurries are past and it is time for training. I have trained now as it was planned in my training program (video in the end)

I have had too much work and too much to do because my December was full of studies. I needed to design my graduating party as well and I had two camp in Vierumäki. Today I will start my new training period (Resting day :D DD )  and I have decided to try to collect more videos and keep my blog updated. It is a promise :)

But here is some pics from my graduating party!

Going to University´s graduating celebration

Year 2012 and something about my future


Posted by admin

It is finished. I will graduate now and there is no more studying for me. It was quite hard December but now I am very relief that it is over and I can start training again.

I have nothing special to tell about my life. I have rest the whole holiday and I spent my x-mas in Eura without training. I needed the whole week off from the gym and now I am much more motivated than ever.

Tomorrow I will start my new training program as well! Yippee!

I have some news about my latest sponsors and old ones , but I will write the whole story as soon as everything is clear. :)

I added some pictures from my x-mas and new year that I spent in Lapland. The new year was the best and it was so awesome to hang around without mobile phone and without any stress.

Me Jani and Maija on our way to Lapland :)

After travelling 13 hours I have a huge hunger!

Cold girls and hot drinks! :)

The way back home we met the sunshine again

I have not lost my mind, yet , but swimming in the snow is the duty that every Finn needs to do once in a winter.

When I arrived back to home I just slept.Three days I spent with my trainings, puzzle and sleeping. Now I have start feeling that I am alive again and it was pretty nice tthat my holiday ends and I can go to work  :) I like my job!

Kaj Stenvall puzzle

My next goal will be Finnish Nationals in Weightliting. They will be held in Kalajoki in the beginning of the March. Then it will be time for powerlifting. I do not know where I will be on April but we will see. But if everything is goint to be alright I will travel on June to Russia where Raw World Championship is taking place.

I will not say any goals for the kilos that I want to do during this year. Of course I have selected my own goals but www.v-15.org mates are the only ones who know them.

I can tell you  something about the year 2012: I Snatched more than I was planning, my C&J was better as well. I benched and squatted little less and my DL was very  far away from my goals. This year I need to train harder…

Harder than ever.

Because there is only one truth: Without sacrifices and hard work I will not aim anything. I am ready for the year 2013 now and I will try to write every Sunday how things are in Helsinki. I have started to take videos from my trainings again and I hope that a friend of mine will help me to update  my website. I might took some older post away and do some chances to the content. It is good to start over you know ;)

But NOW!

The longest video of my blog history – 22 minutes only me and my moments during the year 2012. Enjoy… or suffer :D
