Commercial gym crowds between 6 PM and 8 PM can disrupt workout pacing. With smart supersetting and polite coordination, you can complete all planned working sets on schedule.
Working In Politely
Rather than standing passively nearby, ask: "Mind if I work in while you rest?" Most lifters are happy to alternate sets, especially if loading plates is straightforward.
Non-Interfering Antagonist Pairings
Pairing antagonist muscle groups (e.g., dumbbell bench press paired with chest-supported dumbbell rows) allows one muscle to recover while the other works, halving required station occupancy time.
Put Science Into Practice
