chest day
Pectoral workout day
Chest day is gym slang for a workout session focused on chest muscles—primarily the pectorals, trained through exercises like bench press, flyes, and push-ups.
Weightlifters often organize training by muscle group, making chest day one rotation in a weekly schedule: Can't skip chest day, Monday is international chest day.
The phrase reflects gym culture's ritualistic approach to building specific body parts.
