When I talk to many individuals about their training program I get answers that are all over the board.  Some people have an actual plan or are following some program that they have found online. I am still amazed at how many people come to the gym and have no idea what they are going to train until they get there.  Rather than having some sort of structure, they decide to train whatever they feel like that day. I also run into a lot of people that try to follow a particular plan, but due to other obligations, they are not able to adhere to it very well.
