I’m happy to announce that Andreaz Engström won the -70 kg class at the Nordic Bodybuilding Championships in Trondheim, Norway, today. The competition pits competitors from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania against each other.

On another note, I invariably end up deleting e-mails/consultation inquiries now and then, as some end up in my spam folder. I usually try […]
