How did you get into CrossFit?

A few friends showed me some videos on youtube, then we tried our best to do what we could in the University globo gym as there was no CrossFit gym for miles.

What are your main motivations for doing CrossFit?

I genuinely enjoy doing it - learning new skills and continually trying to perfect things while other times just getting your head down and just grafting. I also want to see how far I can get within CrossFit as a sport.

What have been your major highlights/achievements in CrossFit or other sports?

Finishing 9th at this years (2018) Europe regionals. Making it to the CrossFit games last year and finishing 15th (2017) after winning the Meridian regionals with Team CrossFit JST.

What are your long range goals in CrossFit?

To make it to the CrossFit Games individually.

What does a typical day of training look like for you?

Am: Some sort of conditioning
Pm: This is the main session of the day. Sometimes I split this into two sessions. Usually involves lifting, gymnastics, accessory work and a WOD. The time spent doing the different element varies depending on the time of year. 

What your favourite pre/post workout food?

Pre- workout 99% of the time is coffee.
Post-workout - Greek yoghurt with berries, granola, honey and peanut butter. It’s tastes so good post workout.

If you had to pick one current personal best that you especially proud of which one would that be?

Snatch 133kg
10 min Assault Bike - 216 cals
5 min AMRAP Chest 2 Bar pull ups - 126

What do you do when you don't compete or train?

After regionals this year we were told by our coach to take 3 weeks off. It surprisingly went rather quick. WIth 1 week on holiday, another week catching up and getting ahead of work and seeing friends that I haven’t seen for ages because of training and working so much.

What is your favourite CLN product and why?

Yet to find out.....

Do you participate in any other sport, recreation or fitness activities?

Getting out on the Mountain Bike, going for walks. Just getting outside whenever the UK weather allows. When it doesn’t I really enjoy Bouldering.

What would be a successful upcoming season look like for you?

To make it to the CrossFit Games.

Namn: Linus BresanderÅlder: 26 år Ort: Allingsås, Sverige Hemmabox: Crossfit Borgen Instagram: @linusjohansson90 Har du en idrottslig bakgrund? Det har blivit en del sportande genom åren, allt från golf till handboll – vilket också blev den sport jag främst fastnade för. Jag spelade i Alingsås HK i 12 år, innan jag bestämde mig för att sluta.  När, hur och varför började du med CrossFit? Det är faktiskt tack vare min sambos pappa. Han blev helt plötsligt tightare än mig och var lyrisk över sporten. Det dröjde inte länge innan jag också testade – och fastnade direkt! Vad är dina mål inom CrossFit? Mitt största mål är att komma till Regionals och Games som individuell atlet. Innan dess blir det Madrid i maj, tillsammans med Team Vagnhallen Crossfit.  Vad jobbar du med när du inte tränar och tävlar? Jag arbetar som takläggare på VB Tak.  Hur ser en vanlig träningsvecka ut? Det blir mellan 5 – 8 pass i veckan.  Vilken är din främsta CrossFit-framgång? Jag säger Open 2017 samt en vinst av Swedish Open Fitness Tour 2016.  Har du någon förebild inom sporten? Det är definitivt min coach Anders Fernette.  Varför kommer du att lyckas? Tack vare min starka vilja och drivkraft, strävar jag alltid mot framgång. Kombinerat med ett fantastiskt gäng som står mig nära, har jag alla förutsättningar.  Vad är din största last (i detta fallet vikt)? 160 kg clean and jerk, 120 kg snatch, 250 kg deadlift, 205 kg backsquat. Vilken är din favorit WOD? Fran och King Kong. Vad gillar du bäst med CLN Athletics produkter? Två ord: design och kvalitet. Plaggen är utan tvekan det bästa jag tränat i.  Vilka är dina favoritprodukter från CLN? Det är min CLN Ghost Hood och CLN Impact Shortsen, jag gillar fickorna och det faktum att de sitter still under varje WOD.
