Becoming the World's Strongest Violinist?

[57bergstrm]

On fairly high-rep sets, I find it easier to stay tight if I don’t take N breaths along the way. Once I get to heavier weights and lower reps, I have to breathe on each reps.

My Swedish ancestors were actually from Öland, but I always used to think it was Götland, so I called myself gotlander instead of olander. Kind of like Columbus called the natives in America Indians because he thought he was in India.

Olander sounds more like a flower anyway.

Aha, you probably know that there is swedish bigger island further east of Öland in the Baltic sea , its called Gotland in swedish. Ive sailed there from Stockholm, once by night, we nearly missed it and where headed towards russia. This was in -84, not a good time to Be in russia. But all ended well. We found eventually Visby the town of Gotland, lucky me[emoji33][emoji38]
