Training partners and trainers

[uk dude 0]

What I really need is an experienced training partner and/or trainer.

About me: training age of 1yr, plenty of theoretical knowledge, good growth rate and potential (so I'm told), plenty of dedication.

I can absorb theory endlessly but it can't go as deep as receiving the wisdom of experience from somebody in the flesh.

I had a trainer in the UK for a while but they are quite expensive, equivalent to 1,000 EEK per hour minimum. I say expensive because that price can be for someone with little or no experience, just some young skinny chap with a qualification.

Admittedly there must have been some better trainers around but in London I couldn't find any competing, ex-competition or coaches of bodybuilders in my locality that offered these services.

From a training partner I'd need them to be much bigger (not too hard ) and more experienced than me, so I'm not sure what the benefit to them would be (English language, perhaps? Someone who can help organize their activities? I'm open to suggestions.).

From a trainer I'd obviously want someone with a proven track record of inflating the size of his pupils.

I'd like some suggestions about

* How to find a suitable training partner

* Which trainers I should be thinking about contacting

Cheers,

James

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.

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.

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)

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 ) 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)

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

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.

Great info, and good photos of you both!

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

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

Marek Kalmus was my trainer too and he is realy good, but I think, he dont speak english very well. Ott Kiivikas has great knowledges and he is very talented, but he may have busy schedule-worth to try. From this list I recomend Marek Morozov too to try. Good luck

[uk dude 0]

Nice..

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

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.

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!

I just joined Reval for a month.

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