Guys, we hate to interrupt your fifth chest/bi's workout of the week, but here's the thing. When you train with eight of your bros, you're taking up one piece of equipment for over an hour. You're also getting a pretty crappy workout given the fact that you rest 22 minutes between sets. Training density. Google it. When you add in texting, changing songs, taking selfies, and wondering aloud about your chances with that girl over there on the treadmill, you've spent two hours in the gym and have done three sets.

And by the way, it's not "all you, bro." It's your spotter upright-rowing 30% of the load.

Try this instead. Break from the bro-herd and train solo for a while. You'll learn a ton and probably do more than three sets of chest per workout. You may even have time for legs. (Those are the bipedal limbs below your waist, which also contain muscles.)

Think I need to print this out and hang it in my gym.
