It's Monday, it's chest day. Don’t overdo it but don't sandbag your workout either. Keep your workout between 30–45 minutes. The shorter, the more intense, the better. Staying in the gym for too long is like hanging out in Starbucks past your caffeine high. At some point more is not more.

The Iron Gods love those who worship intermittently.
