People who curl at the Squat rack are...

[WhiteCastle]

What's even better is when these pros do behind the back wrist curls in the squats rack...   

I actually do this, sometimes barbell curls, hang/clean/press, and some other exercises at the squat rack.  The gym I go to has about 4 squat racks and cages and rarely is more than one in use because almost nobody squats.  It's the bench things that bother me because benches are always in use.

Actually- the only thing that irritates me is when people use the power rack/cage or what ever you call it...  to do these things

Two guys in my old gym used to do shoulder presses with the calf raise machine - they worked up to 250lbs (which to be fair isn't too bad) but I don't understand why they just didn't use a barbell. They were apparently training for a strnogman competition at the time.

[Sir William Idol]

Guilty as charged.

The reason being that the arm area is always PACKED with 22 year old dildos that train nothing but arms, while all the squat racks tend to be free....go figure

I occasionally amble over there to make them feel shitty

exactly. and not to mention in my gyms the open, staggered diagonal racks outnumber the power racks 3-1 so might as well use those since they're always free

[MoralMan]

hahahahahhaa, have you ever seen these dildos who try to squat in the standing calf machine? i've seen two douchebags in the last couple of weeks doing that.

Saw some geek doing that yesterday!

Doing quarter squats on the Donkey calf machine seems to be a common thing at my gym.  Not quite sure you fuck that one up but people do. 

I can't tell you though how many times I have to turn a seated shoulder press station into a squat rack because of BB curls, wrist curls, old men and Mexican lifters doing their 20 minute rounds of 1/4-1/2 squats while also supersetting 2 other exercises.  Then they look at me weird because of my set up for 4 sets of straight squats.  I do get some of these beasts though when I go over and do good mornings with the plate on each side they were doing for a 3 inch range of motion.

they biceps curl in a squat rack, i biceps curl at a flat bench.  one day need to coordinate with other fellas and occupy all the benches, maybe then the douches will understand....

what difference does it make hardly anyone is using the squat racks anyways.

[Max_Rep]

I like to squat at the preacher curl rack

That's a HOT avitar. Can you blow it up?

Guilty - I train alone & like to bench press heavy. So I drag a flat bench into the cage, set the safety bars at just above chest level & bench to failure.

Then I do my curls...

I've seen this dozens of times at my gym.  I am pretty sure one idiot started it and everybody saw him do this and now they do it too.  I guess they don't want their shoulders or traps to hurt from the bar.  Some other weird shit I've seen:

1.  Attempts at using the hack squat machine for shrugs and shoulder presses (upside down shoudler presses once!)
2.  Smith machine vertical rows (I just don't see the point at all)
3.  pushups with feet on one bench and hands on another bench
4.  putting the weight stack on the lat pull down machine to the max and then doing pull ups
5.  cable flies while laying down on a bench

hahahaha!!  This is some funny shit right here!  I think people come up with this shit to make it seem like they know something no one else does, as if they're some trendsetting guru who has untold secrets on getting even better results than tried-n-true methods.

"Ya see, you get a much better stretch and development by elevating yourself an extra 2 feet off the ground on benches while doing your pushups.  Lots of people don't realize this.  Plus, you look totally badass and people will think your weightlifting experience is far too advanced for conventional exercises."

I worked out with a guy one time who tried to show me his "secret" way of training traps by using the calf machine.  I wanted to slap him around, but he was my friend.  I had him do some heavy sets with a barbell and that put a stop to that.

If it wasn't for paying members like these guys you wouldn't have a place to train. Unless of course you pay more for the ability to act like you own the place. There's always 2 or 3 mongo's in every gym who think they're workout is more important than anyone else's.

no big deal they're probably laughing at your 1996 barbed wire tattoo and 13 inch arms.

And the laughter you hear is from those 12 inch calves, love handles hanging over your shorts and overgrown eyebrows you're sportin there chubby.
