Why the hell are mondays so crowded at the gym?

[Fedorgasm]

Most people have some kind of lifting routine that is either 3 times per week, or 6 times per week, so why is Monday waaaay more crowded than other days?

Wouldn't all the people who workout on Mondays also be there on Wednesdays and Fridays? So those 3 days should be equally crowded.

Or are there really that many lazy people that say "I'm gonna get back on track starting monday" and then by wednesday they've already given up on that week, and are telling themselves again that they'll get back on track starting monday.

I think I'm going to change my routine so Monday will be a rest day, so it's easy enough for me to get away from the crowd. But still, I'm perplexed as to the cause.

Monday is universal chest day, brah.

Yes.

 

[Denoginizer]

Yeah, I think it's just people trying to make up for their weekend of snacks/beer/lazy.

I wish Mon-Wed-Fri didn't work so well for my lifting/sports schedule. I've gone to lift on a Friday evening or Saturday morning, it's a ghosttown!

I'm at a gym 6 days a week.. (Mind you it may not be weight lifting every day )

I wouldn't know, I lift at midnight.

International Chest Day, brah.

My feeling is you have 3 groups of people:

1) People that are regulars and have a set schedule e.g. M/W/F or M/T/Th/F

2) People that are lazy and convince themselves to go on Monday but get lazy as the week goes on.

3) People that are really busy and make time to go on Monday but as the week goes on they get busy and can't/won't make the time to get to the gym.

QED.

Lovely innit?

People also feel some amount of guilt/shame after the weekend. Need to atone for their sins with the mandatory 15 minutes of cardio and 45 minutes of weights. Like going to church every Sunday and saying three Hail Mary's.

Chest day bRAH!

 

[KILL KILL]

Research suggests that biceps grow the most after a Monday workout. People are being smart, that's all.

Monday is actually my light cardio/chest day.

I live in Vegas, so Friday afternoon is fucking packed. Funny shit

 

[Dirty Holt]

I think people get more physical and mental rest on Sundays, so they arent dragging ass so badly after they are fully awake on Monday afternoons.

Gym is also packed at like one to two am in the morning when swing shift gets off and you have a crazy amount of strippers and cocktail girls working out
