Hogging the squat rack

>>41407042
Fuck reminds me of this guy at my gym who benches with his fat gf all the time, they'll sit on a bench and just talk for literally twenty minutes, do a set and then talk some more.

>tfw I do 5x5 and shorten my rest periods to like 20-30 seconds instead of 2 minutes because I feel bad even if second rack is empty

Couples are the worse. I can't stand having to hear someone constantly coaching someone else with crappy advise then have to hear them argue between sets

I laughed cause I'm one of those guys. Yo man if you just ask to work in, I would be more then happy to accommodate you sempai.

how many squat racks does your gym have?

My longest use of the squat rack was 15 mins, back when I still have a mild cold. I rest for 2-4 mins depending on how I feel

Find a better gym. My gym has about 20 power cages, 5 squat racks and 3 smith machines so there is never any waiting or being worried about curling in the squat rack.

I don't mind couples if they know what they're doing there. The worst are the ones where the girl obviously doesn't want to be there

i do about 10 sets of squats and then 4 sets of front squats.

There was a barbell with 3pl8 on it sitting directly behind the squat rack when I went there last night. There was also a barbell on the squat rack with no weight on it. The little guy was all alone far away from the platform. There was a place to rack a barbell thigh high on the very back of the squat. I was trying to think what someone could be using it for, and my only two conclusions were RDL or cleans, but were it sat was a really dangerous part of the gym to do cleans in because of high traffic. It was still there when I left an hour later. Poor little guy must've been scared, I hope he found his way home.

Not understanding there are about 1000 variations of squats you can do with dumbbells and shit retard.
