If you want to be left alone to train however in the gym I would suggest making your muscles larger and increasing your strength a lot. It's always worked for me. I can honestly say it's been many years since anyone has even asked me if I'm done with something or how many sets I have left.
This. Plus have a certain look in your eyes when you train, nobody will come near you.
We only have two gyms in the area, the one has limited hours, and the one i go to which is open 24 hrs a day. We only have two straight bars, one at the squat rack, and one at the bench. I use which ever is available.
The Trainer, if you were in the gym, I would surely listen to your commands. If you wanted me out of the squat rack, Id be a fool to disobey your commands. With a name like "The Trainer" Id be shitting myself when you walked in the gym.
I do deadlifts in front of squat rack, deal with it. I'll never take advice from someone who says deads are useless for a bodybuilder.
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.
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.
Luckly i have a squat rack and a cage in my gym so it is very rare that both are occupied. Or i can warm up a bit while i wait.
Bless your gym owner, I can't remember when I saw a power rack for the last time...
He is a real bodybuilder. Had won some tittles. Great guy.
This is a small person problem. I occasionally see theses types bickering over an incline bench and I snicker, as I lounge in my incline bench, listening to music..texting , occasionally doing a set
I hate the person who does 8 sets in the leg extension machine (you name the machine) using light weights with 5 minute rests between sets sitting in the machine.
Or they throw their towel on it (occupied!) and walk away for a long talk. Well, I can go on about good manners forever, but it won't change a damn thing...
I once owned a fat bitch over the leg extension she had her towel on the machine while she was chatting to another girl on the other of the gym, so I took off the towel and started using it, she came over saying hey I am using that, I told her this is not your home gym dont put your towel if you are not working out, the gym is a place for people who are serious about getting in shape.
I kick them off the machine when i´m Training People. politely
