Im not exactly a morning person. Waking up at 5:40 to go set before my gym opens has been tough. Just curious if any of you commercial setters out there have worked out with the boss to set at night after the gym closes to the public. Any thoughts on the benefits of either way?
Silly question I know, but I've seen worse on this forum...
Thanks,
We typically set in the mornings as our gym allows us to set until 3 pm on weekdays. After hours can work well depending on when your gym closes. I set on Sundays once or twice a month since our gym closes at 6 that night. Sometimes I'll even strip routes and wash the night before and set the next morning. Options are good.
I've worked it out ... and have had many productive late night setting sessions.
I much prefer setting at night. I find the process more relaxed then trying to get everything done before the gym opens or gets to busy. I hate being in the middle of putting up something that is showing signs of being great, only to have a large group come in right when the gym opens forcing me to clean up my mess and finish it up later.
In my experience, setting at night is something reserved for the more senior setters at a gym allowing a greater volume of work to get completed. Everyone knows what they are doing and doesn't need hand holding or extensive fore-running. Crank up the music and do work.
