Estonian Bench Press Championships results

-
Hey my dear friends :)

Finally i got little time to write small blog about the contest what was 16 May.

I did as i planned and im happy with my result, though i could have done even heavier as i felt really good during that contest and with that bench press shirt i borrowed.
Anyhow, i started my reps with 77,5kg as i wanted to be sure that i pass the first rep. Then i took 82,5kg which was my previous record and then went up 2,5kg and so i pushed 85kg.
It seemed so easy that i could push 5kg more but i didnt want to risk too much ;) .. anyhow i got my result better and now i know which shirt is the best for me :) LOL

I will put up pictures a bit later and link to protocol if it will be published. Just wanted to let you know about the results :) and how it went.

Contest itself and the organization was great, Kimber Klubi did very well and i dont know what was there but my mood was very naughty and i had a great fun over there during and after the contest :) I know also the reason but will not tell you that ;) LOL Anyhow i met lots of friends, acquaintances and ah yes, my mother even came to watch the contest and it was her first time seeing me. She was excited :P

After the contest we celebrated with Rete and Piret (her trainer) our winning in Sõõrikukohvik.. its the place you dont go during your dieting period ;) lol which started now!! We also went to see the FitShop in Pärnu.
I put here some pictures what Piret and Rete did.. For Rete it was the first contest and she did really well 55kg :) .. congrats Rete and keep it up girl :)

Ok.. have to start to make preparations to go to work.. and after work to gym :)

Ah yeah.. now, from today, my real contest prep (training and diet) started for bodybuilding champ in 3 Oct. Wish me luck!

Take care and lots of love to your daily life!!
Your Gerbel

    Hey,

    That's wonderful news Gerbie and nice to hear that your getting stronger too:))So is there a hidden secret to wearing that some kind of special shirt?lol!!

    Thanks for sharing such nice photos with you hanging out with your friends and nahh, i don't think you could lift me in your arms but i guess you could always try, lol!!! Nice to know that your mom came along too and saw you for the first time, she must have been real proud of you, and i'm so sorry i couldn't make it:((( However, i am sure that the warmth of her presence inspired you to greater heights of success.

    I am really looking forward to seeing the photos of the event and hope that you'll manage to put some contest prep photos too.
    Have a lovely evening and keep up the hard work - many congrads!

    Best wishes,
    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...
