A couple of typos and you're kicking my ass. Ever type and have a beer? Fuck you.

Oh, yes. I've written books that way.

It's very fucking hard and annoying especially if you like to do alot of superset exercises. I might superset using 3 diffrent exercises and I take up alot of arear so I just have to train when it is very late and the gym is dead! At my gym all the more experienced guys all do the same thing! We all workout when it is dead! I know this is hard for everybody to do especially guys who have familys and are on tight schedules but I feel for you working out when it is busy can really fuck up your work-out.

lol supersetting is pretty much out the question when at peak hours

what pisses me off is jobless losers going to the gym at fucking peak hour. what the fuck is wrong with those ?

-Wouldn't know. I belong to an independent gym and not one that is part of a big chain like 24 Hour Fitness. Being retired, I can pick a time of day when there aren't a lot of folks there, like early afternoon before most people get off work and head to the gym.

I noticed my gym is more and more packed with people.
I go after work at peak hour and its getting pretty unbearable.

How the hell do i train properly among a huge crowd like this ?

getbiggers share your tips

plan exercises around style of lift rather than specific exercise so you always have options.

bicep 1 : flat palms, could be bar, cable, incline dumbbell, preacher, machine etc.
bicep 2 : hammer grip, dumbbells, rope, tri bar.
bicep 3 : alternative style, reverse Z bar, pull ups, upright cable curls, dumbbells hammer to flat.

so on so forth, i wouldn't stick to one exercise even if i had the choice either way. change it up every time i come back to a body part in order of lift and exercise.

Open your own gym, that's what I did

these r cool for home gyms also,get some adjustable dumbells or solid if u can afford them and a stationary bike or treadmill and u r good to go.i know its the not the same as having a home gym that resembles a real gym but it gets the job done nonetheless

Being a regular and most people being aware that you don't give a fuck about their well-being usually means you're being given ample space to do your thing.

Please, not this home training shit again.
Nobody wants to adjust his equipment & weights all the time and most home trainers give up within a couple of weeks/months.

optimal rest time between sets
blasting my music
grunting and doing dumb shit that i wouldnt do in public

Plan workouts around popular muscle group days.... everyone trains chest and arms monday, so you do legs instead.... most gym goers stick to the same order so just see whats mostly free and plan around

It doesn't work like that anymore, at least not in my gym. For example, the squat rack has become a popular place.

this.

Make Monday an off day....just stay away from the gym. Every Monday is national chest and bicep day.

Nationwide I can't even imagine how many Olympic bars are loaded with 2 45s and pressed for 3 sets of 6-8 reps and how many times the 25lb and 30lb dbs are curled for sets of 5 reps.

Change your job. Doing shift works has it's benefits, you can always avoid the crowds (shopping, swimming, skiing, gym,...)

With the advent of crossfit, these crossfitters are doing all sorts of crazy things in the squat rack.

When crossfit started to blossom I was fine with it....had no impact on me. As of late crossfit stuff has spread throughout the whole of many gym floors.

I've gone so far as to move people mats, balls, rubberbands and crossfit bars when they block whatever I might wanna use. I'm not ugly about it, but I will move their crossfit stuff away from whatever I'm doing.

Fuckin easy!! I walk in with my tap out t shirt on, my shaved head, my tattoos and I shout "Welcome to da top of da food chain" then everyone shits themselves and gets out of my way.
