My name is Conny Molander. I am a 27year old guy living in Pittsburgh, USA. I am married to the most beautiful woman in the world, Katie. I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden, and moved here about 7.5years ago to chase my dream of playing football on college. After graduating college with a Bachelors degree in Business Management, I started experimenting with different sports (such as MMA, BJJ and Muay thai, Powerlifting, etc), and ended up falling in love with Body Building in January 2013.
This is when I decided to do my first show, and I hired my coach, Gregg, and we got started right away. We decided to start prepping for the big 2013 Pittsburgh Pro show in May the same year, so we didn't really have any time to improve anything at this time. We pretty much just jumped right into 'prep mode" and was hoping for the best. I ended up in 4th place which was a big blow to my ego, but it made me realize how much more work I have to put in and how much dedication it will take. This is when I realized this is MY sport. My results rely solely on me; the time and work I put in, and the sacricies I make. The very next day I started the preparations for my next show: Pittsburg Pro 2014. I spent a long long year getting ready for the show. about 9months of offseason training, and just working on my flaws. About 3 months of competition prep, and the day was finally here. I wouldnt take anything less than 1st place. I ended up in 2nd. I wasn't happy about it, but it got my qualified for competing in NPC Nationals, and this is where I am headed now. My BB journey is just getting started, and I want to share it with all of you.
I just wanted to make a sidenote that, even though I am Swedish and hopefully will have a lot of swedes follow me and my progress, It is better for me to write in English because that way I can reach out to the people over here in the US that want to follow me as well. I will be writing posts about my daily living, my training, diet, preparations. I will post about my life outside of competing and Body Building too, because even though I love the sport; Its not ALL I am. I have a family. I have a wife, I have friends. I have hobbies and interests.
I will be posting as much as I can and remember to, and share as much as I can. That way you can all see the ups and downs, and hopefully relate!
Hope you guys will enjoy following me!
