Yes he must :slight_smile: I spoke to one of the “bigger” trainers in my gym and he said to me that there are less people who do heavy squats. I couldn`t believe it because squats are so cool. Legs feeling like rubber. Awesome.[/quote]

Doing heavy squats (lifting in general)is just satisfies some primordial need on some level for me or maybe I just love lifting! Either way, it beats training like a sissy boy with sissy weights, doing curls in the squat rack, and talking on the cell phone in between sets like a total douchebag would.

My weak ass delts are always first each week - so I breeze through my workout without having to wait for any benches.

43

I started training chest on sunday because of it. In my gym we have mid-life crisis suffering fellers and high school kids on Mondays, all wanting to know how much I put up on the bench.

44

At my gym…there are two different workouts for the majority of people there. Chest day and then arm day. In fact, I have been at this gym now for 2 months and have seen one person do squats…and one person do deadlifts. And I’m there 5 days a week, at varying times. In fact, without fail people use the two racks to do curls. I really need to get a power rack and be done with it.

Yup. I’m a member at a gym with them kind of folk.

I’ve always heard bodybuilders did bench on monday after carbing up on the weekends…but i could be wrong

50

Just today I was in the power rack doing squats and a guy goes to the other squat rack and starts - you guessed it! - doing fucking curls with the olympic bar. He was ‘warming up’ for Sidd only knows what. I shot him what must have been a very dirty look and shook my head. What can I say? I was listening to Godflesh.

Then there are the 150lb kids who put two plates on each side of the bench bar and proceed to do 1/4 rep bench presses. The fuck is up with that?

Sure, full of fuckers doing curls with the 2 1/2 or 5 lbs. weight

52

I work shifts, so usually get in during the day when it’s quiet. But when I’m forced to go after 5pm on a friday evening, it’s bench and bis all the way. I guess the guys want a pump before going out to the pubs and clubs. I’ll stick with my squats, ta.

Aw, c’mon, Doc. A bit insecure? Don’t you think they stare out of admiration?.. Something to aspire to?

I’m not going to lie…I don’t lift weights to be ignored and very often that is simply more drive to lift even harder…but some people are a little overboard with it. Some even have “nasty looks” that come along with it (mostly older people).

If I get it from the younger guys who are also working hard, I know why they do it. If I get it from some extremely fat older woman while she wrinkles her nose, I tend to consider that a different sentiment.

For few months, I was going to they gym at different times than usual, and had the same problem. Everyone in the morning is used to me and never really stares (well, except for a couple of guys) or comments on my workouts.

When I first started going in the afternoons and evenings, I sort of got that fresh meat feeling, but it stopped after a while. I think it’s partly because when you see new people at the gym, they tend to be really out of shape, or really average.

Point is, they just need to get used to you. I also get stared at by new people who join the gym.

Anyway, who gives a shit what fat, older women think of ya?

And, don’t lie, you do like to be stared at. :slight_smile:

Haha, this is great. I read this thread on Monday afternoon when I got to the gym that not only is the gym literally 5 times more crowded than any other day but the following happens -

I am doing biceps and two decently big guys walk right next to me. One guy looks at the other and says “hey man, its Monday, you know what that means?” I figured he was going to comment on how many weekend over indulgers were in the gym and how long you�??d have to wait for something… but no. I hear “Chest day baby! lets get freaking huge!!”.

Commence forehead slapping now.

HA!

Most of the guys at my gym don’t make it to Friday, so I get to sit at the gym for 2.5 hours with some more serious lifters, and it stays mostly empty.

56

Monday is squat day…well for me it is…so is Friday. Its just about the times you go, in my gym if you go after 5 you are bound to see alot of officer workers keeping toned during the day alot of the bigger guys come out.

57

Well I do chest and shoulders on Monday. I usually hit the gym when it’s least crowded in the early afternoon, that’s also when I feel I’m at my best to work out.

But when I have hit the gym when it’s jam packed it seems like that at my gym Mondays everyone is working out arms.
