The squat rack is not for doing curls or dumbbell press, I had to chase away a twink today why dont lifters get it that if you are not squatting say away from the squat rack.
TBH he's paid his membership the same as you, if he was squatting you would have to wait, so whats the difference?
The difference is you can take up a bar or a pair of dumbbells and curl anywhere in the gym but there is only one place that you can squat, its simple common sense.
But if he was squatting you would have to wait, I would have just said to you "Imagine Im squatting, now fuck off"
No you would not, when you see a big hulking gym rat with a mean look on his face comes over to you and tell you in a deep voice to move cause he wants to squat, you move fast or I will move you.
But why not just curl at the curling rack or on the floor? Why make the gym less accessible for someone who wants to do squats?
we dont have a squat rack at my gym but at one time i was doing curls sitting in the leg extension machine when someone came over and told me wanted to train legs
Squats, curls, deads, rows, presses... I do whatever I want in the squat rack.
People say sorry when they make eye contact with me in the gym. That's the air of oppression you must emit.
I was using a flat bench the other day then some old man appeared and was lingering around it. I said do you need to use this? He said no and scurried away.
