    I just joined Reval for a month.

    OK, so Marek only trains people in the Coral Club gym, I didn’t know that.

    Marek Morozov is a great guy to ask suggestions. Also my little knowledge comes from him.

    He is the head trainer of gym in Coral Club if you happen to be close to Rocca al Mare.

    I guess you could tell us in which gym you train in Tallinn? …Much easier to find a training partner.

    Cheers!

    That sounds good, thanks. When do you train and how might I identify you? I will try to turn up when you are there one day.

    If we are talking of training partners then I train in Reval-Sport.

    I`m not awfully big, but I`m a friendly and helpful person and may give some advice here and there.

    I do not know, what do you expect from a training partner-I do not mean we should train together all the time, but I would not say no to an occasional conversation if we meet at the gym. Even if just to practice my English <img decoding=” srcset=”/uploads/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x” width=”20″ height=”20″>

    Nice..

    I managed to get into Kaubamaja to see Indrek Viska on Saturday. Unfortunately he doesn’t speak any English at all.

    Marek Kalmus is in Tartu, but he’s in Tallinn occasionally too.

    Great info, and good photos of you both!

    It looks likely that I will get in touch with him.

    My mate, the best. Also my trainer and dieting consultant since 2006 summer (before that I was a few years showdance and aerobic trainer and gym training was just for myself). I have to say I´ve totally changed since that!

    That´s me over there: http://www.fitness.ee/rater/index.php?user…t&phid=3615

    And that´s me summer 2006, when we met and he started to train me: http://gallery.fitness.ee/main.php?g2_itemId=95607 (on this picture- me and Richard Lant) As you can see, I´ve trained a while, but the diet was totally wrong, so I had some muscles and power but not good looking :ph34r:) My bodyweight is there about 65 kg, now it is 62 kg, but more muscular and less bodyfat.

    Training program 350 eek

    Diet program 500 eek

    1 complete training with him 700eek (contains onetime free entry to our home club Arctic Sport)

    Which Marek is in Tartu?

    I already have other plans for tomorrow, but if something changes I’ll turn up. I assume he’ll be in the spordimaailm section. :ph34r:

    I’m not even sure, whether Ott does personal training with his busy schedule, but I think it’s a matter of discussion, maybe you can work something out

    Marek is mostly in Tartu.

    Marko is OK

    Theres a guy, Indrek Viska, http://gallery.fitness.ee/main.php?g2_itemId=228318, who’s a trainer too.

    He’s doing a presentation about supplements tomorrow in Kaubamaja at about 16, you could talk with him there

    i’m gonna go check it out myself too

    Nice, thanks. So my list now looks like (in no particular order)

    Marek Kalmus

    Marek Morozov

    Ott Kiivikas

    Richard Lant

    V.Antsiferov

    Marko Tooming

    I appreciate no-one’s going to want to say anything negative, but I’m looking for constructive ways to narrow this list down.

    E.g.

    Who speaks OK English (it doesn’t have to be great)? I don’t speak Russian or Estonian.

    Who has the best proven track record for producing results?

    (etc)

    Hey, thanks for the response. The link doesn’t work though!

    Yo this guy is a trainer and one session with him costs 700 EEK. Not too cheap, but he has trained with Dorian Yates (6x Mr Olympia), Dennis James, Jari “Bull” Mentula and other big names. Don’t know how successful he’s been with his pupils, but he sure has the experience and knowledge.

    Yes, that’s a good understanding.

    What can you tell me about Estonian equivalents?

    in reply to: Training Routine #154299

    I often don’t make 20 squats after the heavier ones, so I’ll reduce the weigh to make it a proper ‘widowmaker’.

    On the days I do squats, I do finish with them?

    I do try to stretch after each exercise and sometimes use weights to assist the stretch. I don’t always, but mostly.

    Lots of questions:

    How is DC working out for you?

    What kinds of routines are popular here?

    Why isn’t flat bench press used?

    What makes a stretch ‘extreme’?

    OK thanks for the link. It looks like I need to get my Estonian dictionary out (my girlfriend!).

    Hello,

    • offend
    • insult
    • affront
    • outrage

    These things mean pretty much the same thing at root, which is that somebody was hurt.

    Native English speakers will know the difference unconsciously, so it’s quite difficult to explain. But I will try.

    Usually I will be ‘offended’ if someone has wounded me unintentionally. English people usually respond to being offended by being dismissive, haughty and activating other ego-defense mechansims. The person who made the (unintentional) offense will soon pick up some ‘weirdness’ from the other person (the vibe of the conversation will shift), and will usually come to the conclusion that they ’did someting wrong’ – aborting the conversation as-is to enquire about the matter. This is of course the aim of the offended person. Depending on the depth of the percieved offence, the offended person may either explain how they feel or respond with “everything’s _fine_ thanks” (meaning that things are definitely not fine and they want to send a strong signal that they are not, but that they don’t want to talk about it right now). These things can drag on for quite some time but usually offence is not enough to cause a serious problem for a long long time.

    If I’m insulted, then someone has said something directed at me personally or at a group that they know I am a member of. The person who said it may or may not consider it offensive (it might just be an observation that they believe to be true that I disagree strongly with), so this again could be unintentional. But it can definitely be intentional too. When intentional the insults are rather blatant and childlike – the aim is to win points.

    If I’m affronted then I’m feeling that someone is intentionally stepping into a full-blown confrontation with me. A challenge has been laid down which must be responded to (although no response is an option). The affronter is usually looking to dominate the affrontee. It’s a difficult position to be in, especially if there are onlookers. There are a variety of response choices here, and none of them are easy. Popular options are accepting the challenge and getting warlike (you think you can win), trying to defuse the situation (mature solution) or refusing to participate (whether or not you are right you think you will lose in some sense).

    If I’m outraged then I will very likely take some action in response. It’s unlikely that I can be outraged by anything except someone deliberately making statements that they know will cause an extreme reaction, or by something that I feel is morally or ethically disgusting. When people are outraged they feel violated and angry. An outraged person or group will almost certainly go on the offensive against the person or group that perpetrated the outrage.

    These might not be an exact fit with these words’ dictionary definitions, but they are reasonable approximations of how they’re unconsciously used and understood by English speakers in the UK.

    English people will often use the stronger words in jest, e.g. ‘I’m outraged by that!!!’ (said with mock indignation and a smile) when someone says something very mildly controversial.

    I hope that helps.

    Well any opportunity to learn from those guys is a must, so sign me up.

    How do I make this happen? Are these guys also trainers?
