Virtualmeet.net

Hello!

I just wanted you all to know that virtualmeet.net have grown even more. Täby AK (http://taby-ak.se) is a big gym and powerlifting club and since today promotes virtualmeet.net in Sweden. To get the feeling of our club and spirit you can take a look att this videoclip (http://taby-ak.se/bilder_filmer/filmer/serie2_2007.wmv).

And good luck to all who´s competing in the November Military Bench meet  (http://virtualmeet.net/community/forum/meet-talk/89/0/)

That's good news. The gym looks really good. The "Lyftarprofiler" are impressive. I didn't understand all the contents but I can guess much of it.
The 90 kg class looks very very competitive.

Very good news indeed.  Great video Olle, thanks for sharing.  Looks like a really great gym with a good atmosphere and a bunch of great lifters.

Tnx m8´s! :)

I´m working on a new site that will be quite integrated with virtualmeet.net And I will let you all here @virtualmeet be the first ones to check it out. I´m sorry the site´s on swedish but if you have any questions shot away.

The plan is to gather lifters and members of Täby AK for big videosessions. So we can get a big spinoff effect of virtualmeet in Sweden. ;D...

I attached som new photos of the gym so you can feel the lifting soul a little better:)...

Nice looking gym you've got there in Täby...
Where is Täby exactly, in case I wander over to your side of the Baltic someday..?

Ja och välkomna bara till hela gänget! Vi behöver mer skandinaver med här..! :D
 
(translation to english, just so no-one feels left out: welcome to the whole crew! We were needing some more scandinavian blood here...) :)

Måns Rinne: Of course you should wander over to the right side of the baltic... ;D

Täby AK is located 16 km north of Sthlm. If you click here (http://www.hitta.se/ViewDetailsPink.aspx?Vkiid=q%2fE8jWxt+a+zJjh+aF4R%2fA%3d%3d&Vkid=11083950&SearchType=4&UCSB%3aWflWhite=1a1b&UCSB%3aWflPink=4a&UCSB%3aTextBoxWho=T%e4by+AK&UCSB%3aTextBoxWhere=), a map will appear that shows Täby AK:s location in Sweden.

Christian Burger: Yes, our 90 kg class is by tradition very competitive. A good exampel is the clubrecord in benchpress in the 90 kg class wich is 242.5 kg. That´s a record I hate, casue I know I will never reach it >:(.

If you all are interested you can take a look at Täby AK:s video collection on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/TabyAK).

Actually, yours is the left side of the Baltic... :)

Today Täby AK released a new website (http://taby-ak.se). The site is on swedish, but check it out anyway. For example I have integrated virtualmeet to the site as you can see here (http://taby-ak.se/virtualmeet.php). I hope this helps virtualmeet to grow even more.

Excellent work in many many ways Olle!!! A big thanks for all your work in helping us to a good landing in Sweden, looking great. 8)

I'll be browsing around a bit more later, looks like some good threads and video in there as well. I'll also be sure to let you know should I find any bugs... that's what you get for helping me sort out mine.  ;)

Ok, who's holding the Swedish lessons  ;D 

Great site and wonderful looking gym.

So, last weekend Täby AK held it´s annual club championship in powerlifting and benchpress. I´m very happy cause I completed my hattrick and won the powerlifting the third year in a row...  ;D. In benchpress I came second.

Here´s a nice video that sums it up:

Here u can get the hi-def video (http://taby-ak.se/bilder_filmer/filmer/km_2007.WMV), if u don´t want to watch the crappy resolution that youtube offers.

Congratulations Olle, strong lifting and a very deserved hat trick! Looks like you have a very good club atmosphere, it's going to be great to see a few of your lifters on the virtual platform in March. A very well made video too, is it your handiwork?

Took a peek at the results, 200kg/441lbs sq - 150kg/330.7lbs bp -225kg/496lbs dl for a 575kg/1267.6lbs total at 88.35kg/194.8lbs. Whoa, Olle! What happened with your squat, saw that you "only" made your opener and skipped your third. Plugging your numbers into the calculator (http://virtualmeet.net/rankings/calculator), that would have netted you a Class I ranking and first place on all lifts. Looks like the competition at the top is getting tighter in March... Good work!

Ohhh yeeess...like to make small films from our meets :)


Yes, For some time now I have had some problems with my lower back. And I had a small cold to fight with. After the first squat I felt weak in my legs and my lower back was hurting. So 210 kg shouldn´t have been a problem but, the judges were hard and my back was angry ;D. My goal was to make a 220 kg squat. I had done a negative brake rep with 225 kg the week before. The total goal was 220 kg, 155 kg, 230 kg = 605 kg, maybe next year hehe... And because my lower back is lacking som hard training the DL didn´t go so well either. But it was a really nice competition and I look forward to taking on the RAW meet in march... ;)

Speaking of strong lifts, what kind of numbers do you put up in gear? I presume you compete in IPF affiliated meets?

Yes we are IPF affiliated. I´m a RAW lifter, and I do not get much from the gear. My best results are 250 kg sq, 180 kg bp, adn 240 kg dl = 670 kg@85.5 kg.

But I will break the 700 kg mark soon:)...

What have u done with gear chris?

Seen it. ;) My gear total is zero kilograms thus far. Some day I will probably smash that total convincingly. As for you, strong numbers indeed. Hope you are more or less in one piece for the March meet. See you there!
