About this Project
I have been training strength 3-4 times a week from about 1996 but without focus and without thinking about what I eat. Until November 2006 when this project emerged in my mind.
My plan was to make my BB debut in the Norwegian BB Championship in October 2008
I managed to get my good friend and former Norwegian BB Champion, Rune Sørlie as Coach. With his help I changed my diet and started focusing om my weakest areas which was outside shoulders and Lats.
As you may already know I made my debut already the same year. In the Norwegian Championship of NBFA in October and in IFBA WC in Menton in November. Both with heavy pressure from the Norwegian NBFA president Roar Innlagen and from the Menton BB community through Eric Orrao. My other coach and inspirator.
I have competed every year since autumn 2007. From 2010 I move from NBFA to NKF-IFBB and will compete for Partner Kroppsbygging og Fitnessklubb.
This blog is dedicated to my project of proving that seniors can set themselves very tough goals in strength sports. I will also use the blog for educational purposes because I believe that what I do can inspire other seniors.

Dear Gunnar Bråthen, thank you very much for your inspirational site. I am 55 years old, and living in the north east United Kingdom. I am working on my own bodybuilding project, training intensively 4-5 times a week (although my nature is not competitive). Your site has encouraged me to increase my objectives and effort. Thank you.
