Estonian Powerlifitng Championships - 21Mar2009

-
Hey hey,

Its evening and i just got back from the contest (Estonian Powerlifitng Championships).. it went well. Not as good as i wished though.. but as i still made 2,5 kg more comparing last year contest then i did good :)
So here are my results: Squat 125kg, Bench Press 82,5kg and deadlift 140kg. In total i got 347,5kg which gave me in my weight class, -75kg (i weighted 67,7kg), first place and overall i got second place. It was great contest even i was so nervous today after the judges didnt count my first 2 squat reps.. deem i thought and third squat i tryed to do as low as possible.. i made it ;) ...
See all the results also from my website contest page.

About last weekend... there was a Sport Act 2009 mess and on Sunday when i had day off from work i went to visit the mess as well. There was a small contest or better to say show where i just tryed to do bench press record as much presses as i can with 25kg barbell. I did 100 reps.. cool .. isnt it ;)

What else.. tomorrow, on Sunday, i will work in Sparta Fitshop (Pärnu mnt 139c, Tallinn) . Yes, on Sundays, we keep Sparta Shop open from 1600 to 2000hrs. Come to visit, do your workout as well .. i do before work and in Sparta gym :)
And next week first 2 days i work in Telliskivi 51 FitShop and then Wednesday in Sparta again ...
Anyhow all my members of the site can see my schedule from my calendar.. take a look :) I update it in weekly bases.

Oke.. so now i will start new routine.. german valume training .. from tomorrow.. will put the link and tell about that after a week that i can also comment how the first week went and perhaps you want to try it as well :) Thanks Rhys by the way .. he sent it to me :)
I so much wanted to start with that already a week ago but i had to wait when the powerlifting contest is over. ;)

Next contest for me will be a Estonian Bench Press Championships on 16 May 2009 and that will be conducted in Pärnu, Estonia.

Oke.. i let you go now and wish you a great weekend... know that i will pray for you in church tomorrow. God Bless you!

    Hey Gerbie,

    Well done, that's great news:)) Nice to hear you've continued to make improvement too:) So did you find out as to why the judges didn't take into account your first two squat reps? That would be interesting to know.
    Anyways you must be quite happy with this and i'm certain you will just get better and better by improving upon this.

    Have a wonderful sunday:))

    Mul kolm nädalat juba palavik (kuni 37,6) olnud, eelmisel nädalal sain põiepõletiku veel, lisaks peavalud, uimane olek jne. Ja trenniisu on ka selle kõigega absoluutselt kadunud. Ainult magaks, kui vaid saaks. Nii mõnestki asjast olen pidanud siin tervise nimel loobuma :(

    Gerbi,

    I thought the last sentence where you mentioned qoutes 'Prayer is not so much formally addressing God with a list of requests'. Sometimes when i feel down or hurt i turn to god in thoughtful prayer and perhaps ask him to grant me too many things, lol!!:) However, when i think more about it, the answers are all within me, and only me, as one can take the action needed to make things work for them in life. I am sure God will take care of the rest and grant you his blessing:)) However, if you put your whole trust and faith in him, he will surely guide and protect you from lifes tests and will present to you things that he wants you to have and do in life rather than you yourself want:)) This is where i beleive destiny lies:)

    Have a lovely weekend and take care of yourself princess:))

    Best wishes,
    Rhys

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...
