when I back got into lifting a few years back, I went on a one week seminar with a few coworkers.

One took me along to a Gym that Hotel guests could use for free (not a hotal gym though)
It was mostly cardio stuff and courses and a relaxation area with a waterfall and isotonic drinks and shit like that.
in the basement was a very small area with free weights. One single Bench, No squat racks, dumbbells went up to like 20kg.

That one bench had a towel on it, but nobody was arround. My coworker and I did some exercieses on mashines und messed arround with the dumbbells a bit, but really wanted to bench. So after about 15min he took that towel off the bench.
Back then I wouldn't have dared.

Guy came back when we were on our second set. was mad as fuck. coworker told him how long we've waited and that he should feel free to continue his set.

The guy complained about "those buff dudes" touching his stuff.
Staff replied how "those hotel guests don't have any manners"
Fuck People

There are people who will be understanding and nice if you just talk to them, and then there are those who will be butthurt dicks either way.
Guess the trick is to be polite and stop giving a fuck whether it might still upset them

You remove the racks and do it from the floor, or from the lowest peg. They're basically just borrowing the bar. It takes up the rack to do a floor exercise, and if your gym has only one or two racks like mine, it can drive you fucking bonkers.

>Literally have to end up power cleaning the weight raw over my head to get it in position to squat, because there's no fucking way this chump is getting off the rack, I even asked him and he was like yeah well I have 6 sets left (after already doing like 8 sets)

His shit was truly bizarre. I mean I'm impressed with his volume, but it makes sense, because his ROM and form were shite. It was like he was trying to low bar squat but had the bar in the high bar position. Definitely headed to snap city or passout from pressure on neck once he gets heavy enough.
>>
>>41630289
Sometimes I can kind of sympathise, it's equally infuriating to not have a power rack or platform free to do your deads in/on if some other retards are using that equipment for their 2 hour superset drop set 1% ROM squat jumps or whatever retarded shit theyre doing

the most respect I have in my gym is for one guy who started out skinny as fuck, and I saw him doing what was obviously SS plus a couple of accessories every time I saw him - in like 6 months he's gotten way bigger and is lifting more than double what he used to, shits good.

Its weird how simple lifting is a lot of the time, most people can't figure it out for some reason.

Seriously though you can OHP in the squat rack, but if someone comes up to you and asks to squat in the squat rack then you must let them. Do your OHP off the ground, especially with your shitty babyweights.
>>
>>41630334
is 40 minutes that much? I do 3 sets of 5 with 7 minute breaks so prolly ~20 minutes total including warmups.
>>
>>41627451
My Y only has available barbells at stations, such as racks or benches. They don't just have barbells laying around, so what else should I do besides take the barbell and stand back from the rack? Dead lift at the benches?

Then there's the people that apparently have to do a super set for over an hour. I asked the guy if he was nearly finished and said he was, so I waited roughly 10 mins after I finished another two exercises for this guy to clear the pulley area, and I ended up just working in and apparently the guy got miffed that I did.

Because you're older. Up until around 185 pounds (in general; height and weight affect this) on the bench, most of the strength gains you make aren't caused by increased muscle mass. They're caused by better motor control and more efficient motor neuron firing to move the weight. Younger guys have had less time to develop this and unless they've really been lifting for some time.

I mean, just wear flat shoes to the gym asshole. There's nothing really wrong with it, but I'll just never understand why people won't wear something flat instead of taking their shoes off.
>>
>>41636876
If I wanna run on the treadmill afterwards, I'll just wear my running shoes and deadlift in my socks. Running in flat shoes gives me terrible shin splints, so it's more practical to do this than to take two pairs of shoes to the gym.

1. Circuit training
2. Using multiple sets of dumbbells
3. Not letting other people work in

I don't really care if the gym is messy sometimes, but if you don't share the equipment then you're wasting my precious time and I can't have that.

No, when I had poor ankle mobility I used to squat and deadlift without shoes and found it to be much easier than even flat shoes, now that my ankle mobility has improved I wear sambas

You either are dyel as fuck, roiding, never trained for strength, or a combination of those.
When training for strength (with non-baby weight) 5 minutes rest is bare minimum, and you'll generally be in the 5-10 min range.

>When the training goal is muscular hypertrophy, the combination of moderate-intensity sets with short rest intervals of 30-60 seconds might be most effective due to greater acute levels of growth hormone during such workouts.
>Both of these findings indirectly demonstrated the benefits of utilizing short rest intervals for gains in muscular endurance.

Seems to be that rest periods of 3-5m are what you want to aim for when trying to increase your weight max, whereas shorter rest periods are what you want to aim for when trying to increase your rep max. Match intensity appropriately, obviously.

Fucking women. Who the hell writes these magazine workouts? She could do barbell rows and get better results faster than her silly pulley bullshit.

They're using the bar anyway so you wouldn't be able to use the rack even if they weren't there. Unless your gym just has a surplus of bars.

Nothing noggins my joggins more than that especially that we have a section with 12 barbells and a ton of weights to do barball movements.

The gym i go to only has 2 squat racks and no power racks so you have to get the bar out of the rack to do anything. Dude was next to a quarter squatting PT who said nothing when i asked him to use the rack fof its entended purpose too.

my nigger. same here. people are usually appalled when I tell them I go at opening at 6 am, but it's honestly the best time. No curl monkeys taking up the benches, no distracting asses half-squatting in the racks. several old people, though, which make me a little sad for them

I'll admit I'm a 10s goblin because my weak ass can only preacher curl with 20 pounds on either side of the ez-bar and I go to a ghetto ass gym that doesn't have those ez-bars with fixed weight on them.

to my defense tho there's rarely more than 4 people in the gym when I go and most of them are hamster racing enthusiasts
>>
>>41642697
using 10's when you need 20 lbs is fine if your gym has no 20 plates. the problem is more with folks hogging all the 10's because they can't be bothered to use simple math so they use five 10's instead of a 45 and a 5

i was thinking more along the lines of lowering the rack so you can quickly load and deload the weights
