    Monday = National Chest Day?

    I went to the gym at 8 o clock and I had to wait 45 minutes just to get a benchpress bench, since benching is the first thing to do on my list. All I'm supposed to do is 3 sets of 10 and theres a load of people in Bally's.

    80%-90% of all the chest/tricep excersize areas were occupied and I had to wait at least 10 minutes!!

    I'm posting this poll to find out when YOU guys do your chest, SO when I do a new routine, I do a chest routine on a different day!!

    Monday - heavy
    Thursday - light

    Over the years, I've noticed a couple about the uneducated gym rat.

    First, of course, is the guy who only does chest and biceps. He's likely to be on the bench every day.

    Second, everyone trains their "most important" muscle on the first day of the week. Furthermore, it's the first thing they train when they get to the gym. Just in case something happens during the week to keep them out of the gym, they want to make sure that they get the important muscle trained. If something has to be skipped, it sure won't be this muscle. The chest, closely followed by the bicep, seems to be everyone's most important muscle.

    100 dollars a year.. man oh man.. I wish I had a gym like that.. I pay 50 bucks a month at mine right now and it's a piece of crap. Our power rack is a rusted piece of junk. Thankfully since everyone there overpays, we're getting brand new weights everywhere and hopefully.. a new power rack. If not.. I'll be complaining.

    As for chest, every day I go I always see people doing chest more then anything else. In commercialized gyms the most important muscles are abs, biceps, and chest. They're all tied. Also, when I see splits on here.. chest is always day one for some reason. Go figure.

    My gym is only really busy between 5.30-7.30pm, which is ok because if I go in after school then I am all done by 5.30 anyway. I work my chest on Mondays too though...

    And yea, I pay $50 a month for my membership too, but that is in NZ dollars

    Monday is the busiest night of the week for every gym in America. Friday is the best kept secret.
    1. I thought all along you'd be the death of me, but I met one tonight who wants what's left of me!
    2. You are so full of s***, maintenance is still unclogging the toilet.
    3. Save a horse, ride a cowboy!
    4. This mission does not exist, nor will it ever exist.
    5. I'd like to check you for ticks.

    I don't think its national chest day but it seems whatever I have to do on monday is what everyone else needs to do. I usually set up my programs for a leg day to be on monday but low and behold thats the meso cyscle every other guy in the gym decides to try out squats for the first time.

    why not, lol.

    all I hear is how 'each bp once per week' should be the 11th commandment

    so I thought id give it a try since I have bad mouthed it so much

    of course I am cutting (trimming down anyway) so it probably doesnt matter what I do right now.....certainly no need for my double split 9 workouts per week thingy right now, hehe

    IMo there is some ideal way to switch back and forth between various splits etc

    for instance youd think going from a 1x after a while on a 2x would be good since youd have soem extra work capacity built

    then again youd think going from 1x to 2x would be good for a temporary shock effect

    so to me the answer lies in long term variations
