How many benches do you have?
Most places have 3-4 benches with bars and only one squat rack.
I would grab a bar off the bench before I took up the squat rack.
My gym has three squat racks, two of which are usualy open. two smiths, a power cage, five leg presses...people have options.
and if they didn't, and i wanted to, i would do it anyway. I'm not trying to be a dick..I'm serious when I say it's my gym too, and I'll do what i want..I'm not jerking off and not training hard, I'm doing my thing and i have every right to. What about the cross fitters that take up half the gym with their routines, or the guys who bring rings and hang them in the power cage ?
For me to grab an Oly bar off a bench, now I have to find myself a spot...there are no weight trees close by, i have no room and people are on top of me. fuck that noise.
