Hi hanne , yeah i do think terry will do well at the arnold classic, went to columbus ohio last feb,march 07 was really interesting to see all the sports ie powerlifting (andy bolton performing well.

Yes the Arnold is a wicked place to visit. I love the whole weekend and as you say so many things going on. That is the first place I saw power lifting "live" and I loved it!

PS I wish I was going this year with Benni and Terry competing. I have not seen Gemma and Benni since they got married. We were at the Arnold when they met. I have comepted against Gemma a few times in strong woman and I hope she will come back after the baby is born.

Hanne, how did you first get into strongwomen ?

[strongwoman]

I had been training in the gym for 6-7 years but not competed in anything. I saw an advert for a show to be held close to where I live in London and I though why not. I got the events sent to me and I was in shoch and I entered to see who the other "stupid" women would be (who thought they could do the weights that was down for the events).

To my surprise we were all a lot stronger than I thought! 9 women competed and all did well. I placed 3rd and was hooked. This happend in 1997. I did another comeptition (same place) the next year, placed 3rd again out of 8 this time.

Then no comeptitions for a few years, but I was invited to comepte in Scotland in July 2002 and I have travelled to many great placed since and done about 35 comeptitions. I am still training for more now and I have also added power lifting to my world. I will be doing the British (under BPC) later this summer, so I am planning to start training with suits and so on!

How about you, would you not like to have a go at strong woman?
Have you any plans for you next power lifting competition?
