Was at a seminar with Thomas Stellander (Norwegian Pro BB)

[MrMuscle]

It was pretty cool.
For those of you that dont know Thomas Stellander (most of you i guess) check out his webpage at www.thomasstellander.com Most of you probably arent that fluent in Norwegian either, so click on "Bilder" to get to some pictures.

Here are a couple i managed to take. They are shitty, but at least you see kinda what he's got.

Lat picture is taken from his webpage.

what did you get to talk about... i missed the seminar in Vegas with all the olympia guys.

 

[MrMuscle]

It was a pretty "up and close" seminar. In the sense that he didnt just stand and talk, but we had a two way communication. That way we got to exchange opinions and such. Wich was way cooll, because then he came of as more as a good guy, instead of a stuck up guy.

There were a couple of big guys there, not clean, but they had nothing to contribute to the talk. They most just sat there. But small tiny me on the other hand got a good "relatonship" to the guy. So everytime he said something, he looked over to me, as if to see if i agreed or had anything more to add. Wich i often had.

He also pulled me aside in breaks and we talked a bit togheter. ich i also found real cool. I mean, after all, he IS a pro BB.

He said that he was clean. And if anybody wanted him to prove it he would gladly pee in a cup for them, but they would have to pay for the testing.

All in all it was a good experience. He did some side raises with 110 pound dumbbels, which was pretty awesome

What are his stats? Height, weight?

 

[saint808]

do you always wonder what would happen if someone would have handed him a cup? or asked for blood? I wish sometimes these guys would emphasize that training and diet are 80% of the equation if not more and just be honest but i know that is taboo. Sounds like a cool seminar though. A lot of these guys come off as pricks. Of all the ones i have got to meet so far i'd say jay cutler and shawn ray were the coolest. Ferrigno was the biggest jerk, but then i only met them all once and that could have many variables.

32 years old

Dont know any measurments. But i think he said his arms were 21 or 22 inches. But you can figure as much from tthe pictures.

My personal opinion is that he was talking the truth. That comes just from the fact that he didnt seem like tha type to lie about it.
And he did stress the diet part, we spent 1 day talking about diet and nutrition. And the last day we covered training.

That's a large man.


Hey....right hand nipple in the front double bi shot- is that a gyno removal scar with a little bit of a lump that I see?

 

[saint808]

that's pretty cool then. supposedly flex was clean for the olympia too and he did get tested afterward and came up clean... he was a lot smaller too and seemed a lot better mentally at the press conference and such... i think some guys do go clean and keep up a decent physique.

 

[MrMuscle]

Yeah, if you put in the time and the effort, and have decent genes then you can come a long way. It takes time though, he has been training for 17 years or so i think.

I wonder how his joints are holding up after 17 years. Wow. That could take its toll.

Do you have any idea what is cycles are made of ?

 

[Wynn]

Clean or not he's big. MrMuscle your pics are not shitty. It's almost like you should take pics for the magazines, especially the pic of the pulldowns.

 

[MrMuscle]

Yeha i liked the pulldown one myself. His arms ia frigging bigger than his head. its crazy.
