I'm never ever benching on mondays again.

[roy2]

Unless its at 6am. I decided to bump up my workout to around 3pm at my university's gym so I could take a break from studying.. I managed to get a squat rack and get rows done too, and of course every bench in the entire place is being used, with lines of people waiting to bench. I said fuck it, there's no way I'm waiting for an hour for this bs and decided to do standing barbell presses, even though it fucked up that part of my training routine for the week (5x5).

Yeah. It is like that a lot of places.

People always bench on Monday. I do squats and deadlifts.

not at my uni gym hehe

not at my uni gym hehe

Really? That would be the first gym I've heard of in many years of lifting that isn't that way.

Most people don't work out on weekends and on Monday everybody wants to work their favorite and what they feel is most important...the bench press.

friday, saturday and sunday are the only days you're gonna find an empty gym. Thursdays are ok. But monday is national bench press/guilty conscience from the weekend day. I avoid monday like the plague.

monday is international chest day

[silver_shadow]

deads and more deads for me on mondays right now

 

[mrgravez]

Monday is dead lift day I save bench for the weekends because my gym has a total of about 8 people there at all times from fri-sun

 

[Sculelos]

My gyms usually dead when I go there between 6-8 am, maby a few older people but usually only 1 or two other people are even lifting at the same time as me.

Everyone in my area seems to like afternoons.

 

[AEKDB]

I am always the only person in my gym, except when the little lady finds her way to the basement.

 

[skacorica]

not at my uni gym hehe

Hows that? Ive belonged to 5 different gyms, including 2 university gyms and Ive always seen a disproportionate number of people benching on monday...

 

[redsamurai]

I do chest either on monday or tuesday..............my only unbreakable rule is fridays "curls for girls" before I head out to the club.........







just kidding, I fuckin hate goin to clubs...........but I always gotta listen to my ginnie buddy talking about his great pumps in his bi's and how that's gonna score him some pussy that night. No surprise he hardly ever get's laid.

 

[redguru]

Didn't you know? Monday is International Chest Day.

Most of the kids are inventive though, They pair up and one does half the weight as bent over rows and the other does half as benchpress at the same time. I guess it kills two birds with one stone.

I used to love it when one of these types would ask me to spot them. I would spot them the correct way (preventing the bar from dropping while not helping with the lift). Once they finally (assuming they ever did) get the bar all the way up, they would sit up and stare at me. At least they never asked "how much did you help"!
