Hello everybody!

Hi, I’m Dariusz Strycharz. I’m 15 years old. I’m from Poland and I live in Szczecin. I’m quite tall and slim.  I’ve got quite short fair hair and blue eyes. 

My hobby is powerlifting. It’s a strength sport in which  you lift maximal weights in low range repetitions. I’ve been training since January 2016. The first year wasn’t very gainful, because I didn’t know how to workout and what to eat. I was too skinny. Now I’m resting from high weights , because I feel pain in my knee. So, I’m doing more hypertrophy trainings. My diet is concentrated to gain some muscles with low surplus calorie intake.

In this blog I’m going to tell you more about my hobby and the world of strength sports. My first blog series going to be about famous Polish powerlifters.       

          

7Tp

Hello everyone !

Today I'm going to tell you something about a Polish tank , from the beginning of WWII. Of course I'm talking about 7TP. Take a look : 

History:

In 1932 Vickers Armstrong delivered 50 Vickers E tanks. Poles weren't satisfied with their new tanks , straight form England , and started research on their own Tank. In 1934 first prototype was ready for field tests. In 1935 serial production of 7TP started. In 1937 Engineers made version with tank canon wz.1937 and mg wz.1930. In 1935-39 they built 132 tanks. 24 with twin turrets and machineguns in them , and 108 with 37mm canon. Twin turret tanks were made into canon versions after considering them non-progresive. In 1939 they were main battle tanks of Poland. First tanks were made with some parts of those Vickers E tanks. When Germany invaded Poland , german panzers hadn't any chances in 1v1 situation. The problem is : you need 1v1 situation. There were too many panzers. When Poland had only 132 tanks , Germany had 1190. It was 1v10 , so germans won.

Technical thingies:

Serial produciton: 1935 - 1939

Amount: 132

Lenght: 4.54m

Weight: 9.400 (Twin turrets) , 9.900 (One turret)

Max speed: 37km/h

Weponary : Two machinguns wz 1930 ( Twin turrets) , 37mm canon wz 1937 and machinegun wz 1930 (One turret)

Crew : 3

Max range 160km (On the road) , 130(On the field)

So , I think this is it.My time in this school ends in two weeks. I have orders from my boss (Who is my teacher by the way) that I have to stop writing those posts for you. I hope you enjoyed reading them (Expect for little grammar issues). I think I'll be missing that.

Torun

Hi!

In this post I’m going to write about Torun in Poland.It is a quite small city in our country and its whole area is about 116 square kilometres and 205000 people live there.

Torun is famous for two things-planetorium and gingerbread cakes.Planetorium is similar to a cinema but you just look there up.It is situated in the cenral part of the city.I really recommend this attraction and you should see it yourself.The second things are the delicious gingerbread cakes.

In this city there are a lot of shops where you can find these sweets.There are also shopping centres and museums.In my opinion the best is Museum of Technology.You can do a lot of experiments there and take some photos of this place.

I think it is a good place to spend your holiday;)

 See you in the next post!

Checiny

Hello!

Today I want to introduce  a special  place for holiday to  you. It’s   a  small town called  Checiny  in Poland.

It’s situated in the southern Poland. The city has a town hall and a small church . The biggest attraction is a quite big castle on a hill. It has   two  towers where poeople can go and watch the city 's skyline. It’s a quite calm and quiet city although it's very interesting. Everyone who needs to relax should go there and see it with their own eyes. A lot  of poeple don’t know about this place so it’s  very mysterious.

I don’t know how about you but I was there two years ago and I would certainly like to go there again.I think I can  recommend it to everyone.

See you soon!
