Anders Victor Graneheim Biography

Early Life

Andreas Victor Graneheim was born on May 3, 1962, in Timrc, Sweden. He started his bodybuilding and strength-training journey fairly early in life when his twin brother, Olle, poured cement into car tires to make ‘weight plates’ and created a barbell by using a rod to connect them.

The twins were genetically gifted and weighed 60+ kg at 15. They started doing basic compound exercises like squats with this barbell and thus started their growth story. 

Career

Anders Victor Graneheim was Swedish and Nordic Bodybuilding Champion during the 1980s. After a nine-year absence from competitive bodybuilding, he competed in the “Sweden Grand Prix” in Gothenburg in 1997, where he placed third after two professional bodybuilders.
