Two out of three workouts, week 2…
This took place on saturday the 14th of January, 2006.
Again, something new and strange happened. We (me and Kris) were at the gym way earlier than usual, my workout beginning at 22.05! That is like a half hour before normal… If this trend keeps developing, we might actually see other persons at the gym before the year is out..!

Standing Cable Crunches 3 sets: 20/18/13 (30 kgs / 66 lbs)
Incline Bench 3 sets: 8/7+1/6 (95 kgs / 209 lbs (+5 kgs / 11 lbs))
Flat Bench 3 sets: 6/6/5 (100 kgs / 220 lbs (+10 kgs / 22 lbs))
Incline DB Press 2 sets: 12/9 (26 kgs / 57,2 lbs)
Flat Lying Cable Flyes* 2 sets: 5/8 (25 kgs / 55 lbs on set 1, 20 kgs / 44 lbs on set 2)
Standing BB Shrugs 3 sets: 8/8/8 (100 kgs / 220 lbs. Since last time was just testing, basically, I won’t list the 40 kg /88 lb increase as “improvement”)
Forward Incline BB Shrugs* 3 sets: 10/10/10 (60 kgs / 132 lbs)
…And finishing off with the same neck exercises as last time. 1 set each, 10 reps.
What’s great with these is that you basically get 100% effort on every rep, if you so choose. So why on earth wouldn’t you?
Total time: 80 minutes

*-marked entries:
- Flat Lying Cable Flyes: Using the same exact setup as for the rear laterals, except the handles are attached down and the fact you don’t cross your arms, lie down and flye. 
- Forward Incline BB Shrugs: Put the hooks on the outside of the powerrack of choice, slide in adjustable bench pre-placed at a 45 degree incline. Make sure the bar on the hooks is reachable. Then, kneel on the seat (best if you angle it up also) and lie down stomach flat against the backrest. Grab the bar and shrug!
Really a great setup. There’s zero sliding of the feet and you get ample support off the bench. Wonderful…

solid pressing there mans. just wondering what your best is in the bench press?

Those neck exercises are addictive - I’ve caught myself doing them a few times without thought of who might be watching

I’m wondering that too. Let’s persuade him to max out.

I’m joining the wondering club. Never maxed out on the bench, so perhaps next time I might just do that. If Kris’ll clip me, so we have evidence of how I fail…

I’ll clip you all right, rest very assured.
Might train tomorrow, hint hint…
My guess is 120 kg/265 lbs. About a year ago or so, Måns did inclines with 90 kg/199 lbs. He got a double. Then it turned out there was in fact 110 kg/243 lbs on the bar.

get it tested mans, we could have a sweepstake. my money is on 125kg.
January 18th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
Umm…how much are we talking about..?

John, good of you to bring the sweepstake issue up. I have an idea brewing that would be perfect to combine with a max guessing competition. I did one back in the early days in fact and that was much fun. We just tested Måns’s max, but I’ll leave the reporting to him.
