My yesterday's bench press

-
Hey dear readers,

Have to tell you that yesterday i had a great workout. I had chest, biceps and triceps day and im still very pleased with the bench press. If you dont know then my bench press record from March this year is 80kg (benching shirt on) and yesterday i went till 77,5kg with my benching and i did 4 reps... it made me happy :) .. so statistically i have increased my max rep :PPP .. funny that a girl can become happy for that .. silly ;)

Today i had back and delts and i really enjoy doing them.. just to give some idea for you what is my favorite exercise for back is One-Arm Dumbbell Rows and i do it 26kg x 6reps (3 sets).
For shoulders one of the exercise for instance is Sitting Barbell Presses 35kg x 8reps (3 sets).

Tomorrow will do leg day with squats, leg presses, leg extensions, leg curls, calfs :)

    Hey Gerbel,

    Thanks for another awesome post and for the training log. It's nice to hear that your getting stronger and i am sure that in time you'll build extra lean muscle mass too. Well done, cuz you rock girl! Keep training hard, your work sooner or later will be rewarded for your utmost dedication!

    An affectionate hug of my part.

    Hey, Gerbel :)

    After a month of being lazy while travelling a lot for work, I finally gor back to the gym and have been working out 3 times a week since May 19th, keeping you in mind for inspiration :) (And I'm trying to eat more or less right as well). I have a question abou my leg workout too, but I'll ask it later when you have time :)

    Have a nice weekend,

    Katja

    HOLY MOLY ARMY GIRL!

    WOW! You certainly know how to use a gun no kiddin! You know i can't understand why the Brits and Americans pay billions of dollars for their troops to go to war when all it takes is for you to put that freaky mask on and WOAH the enemy would be running for their lives, lol! By the way, you never told me that you dyed your hair colour pink, nice hair style by the way. lol!!

    On the otherhand you should be awarded a heros medal with a beautiful physique like yours and the idea of using props works wonders.

    Now my blogging mission is completed i wish you a great week in the shop and with your training. Please don't work to hard but have some fun too.

    OVER AND OUT!

    Rhys

2020, time flies

Hey all guys and girls, Damn, time flies, you get older and the time seems unstoppable ;) Hope in your end all is good. My end, it’s great. It has been so many things going on, all life has been a big challenge lately, but I like to be positive and I am. So, there has been always a light at the end of the tunnel. Many things have had happened last 2-3 years in all single levels of my life and it has been difficult in times but I have been lucky. I had some health problems but I got over it. Lets say I got really lucky and I'm very grateful for it.  Closer friends know what it was about, I will never be really ready to share it I guess but lets say "Thank you God". I have done some trainings but not very regular. Couldn't go heavy because of my health issues, but gradually I will get back to the regular physical exercising. Its not important to go really heavy, its important to do regular physical training and eat healthy. That was my moto when I was...

Hello my dear friends, Now im married woman, Gerbel Mikk-Poortmans. Who still doesnt know, on 17 of October i got married with lovely belgian guy, Guy Poortmans, in Wilrijk-Antwerpen, Belgium. In Estonian magazine "Kroonika" there is an article about us, how we met ;) ..though it is in Estonian. To make the story short ;) ..we met online and we knew that we should be together already before we first met in real life, meeting was just a confirmation of our feelings :) Lovely! :) A hint, soon there will be also wedding picture in Kroonika ;) Now, after 5 month knowing each other, we are married. Seems like a fairy tale. The wedding was very lovely in one small castle, as simple as it could be. On 17th my day started already 0630am, did my make-up and went to hair dresser. Wedding was at 10.45 am and followed by lunch-dinner reception in near by restaurant "Den Bourgondier" with our witnesses, Guy's parents and relatives. Unfortunatly, my best friend Aire couldnt c...
