Summer Time Comers Alert!!

As we have seen that gyms are really crowded nowadays because bunch of wannabes are coming and pumping some chest and arms and then going to the beach. I'm struggling with finding a station to work out and many of my friend at the gym likewise. I'm just wondering how you guys deal with this because when I go to the gym it's almost impossible to work out like I planned before and then I suddenly change my program based on which spots are available for working out but I don't wanna keep it up so long I cannot do it like this. So I just wanna get a piece of advice for that kinda shitty situations!!

One way to go around it is to go for less popular body parts in key days, for example, since Chest is the favorite for most people, I would avoid it on Mondays and I rather go with shoulders or back. I keep chest days around Friday to Sunday where there is less people (depending of the dynamic of your gym of course). And it is a good time to choose exercises that are not popular and those that does not require a specific machine.

Sometime all you need is some space and a barbell or find a bench with dumbbells and stay at it. Also from my experience and again depending of the dynamic of your gym, the majority of the people stay away from the good stuff, squats, chin-ups & dips stations, heavy dumbbells are often free. Newbies usually are monopolizing the cable machines, the light DB weights and all the benches, which beside the benches are not a problem.

Or simply change the time when you go, sometime an hour before or after can make a good difference.
