Don't Bench On Mondays!

It’s a new week!

Monday, back at the gym!

There is a good chance that most of the people in the gym on a Monday were not in there training on Saturday & Sunday, or for that matter maybe not Friday either, after all, its Friday!.

But Monday….NO ONE misses Monday!  It’s a new day to start with a new program, moving towards a new goal!

You look around, bench press taken, bench machine press taken, hammer strength press taken, power rack taken (by someone doing CURLS!),  Its Monday aka Bench Day!  So here is WHY you shouldn’t have your program revolve around Monday aka Bench Day!

If you are like most people (don’t deny it), Monday is bench day!  Which means for the last few weeks/months/years Monday is usually chest & biceps day.  Why are you doing this?  Why is everyone doing this?  Just because everyone is doing it doesn’t mean that YOU SHOULD!

Here is what I want you to do!

I want you to take that muscle group or area that you have been neglecting.  Maybe it’s legs (I mean who wants to hit legs it’s so hard), maybe it’s back (you cant see it when you train so thats not as much fun as a chest pump).  I don’t CARE what you want to do Monday!  I DONT want you benching!!

Make a promise to yourself that for the next 6 weeks come monday YOU will target what you have neglected or what you don’t want to train!  6 weeks!! 6 Mondays!!  Don’t think, start TODAY.

Here is why you need to make that change NOW

- Monday everyone benches or does curls.  So machines & equipment are taken.  Do something no one is doing Monday and not wait for equipment

- Monday is usually a day of high motivation.  So target what you neglect when motivation is high!

- Monday is the day people set goals and priorities, so prioritize SOMETHING BESIDES BENCH PRESS!

- Monday means your well rested. If like most people you took Saturday & Sunday (Shame on you lol) So monday is a good day to hit something hard and heavy when you are recovered well.

- Monday the power rack is usually free (except people who do bicep curls in it, which should be banned from the gym).  Monday means a GREAT DAY for Squats or Deadlifts!

So start today and make a change.  Leave the chest press for Thursday!  Take an exercise or muscle group you neglect and target it TODAY and for the next 6 Mondays!  You will be thankful trust me!
