question- would you keep the rack for this long or walk away between the exercises to give people a chance to use it if they need to?
You hold onto it for as long as you need it.
If someone asks to work in, let them.
My gym has 4 racks so I just hog that shit. No one has ever asked me to work in and it's a busy gym.
OHP is a meme exercise
There's only one rack in my gym but rarely anyone uses it. I'm squatting/deadlifting at it whenever I want, never in my 2 years have I had to wait for it to be free. Pretty weird but I don't mind.

Only lift I've ever passed out on was OHP. Glad I wasn't lifting alone.
If the gym is crowded and I know I'll be wanting the rack for a while, I'll look around between sets for people who might be trying to catch my eye, or hovering in the area, or whatever, and ask them if they'd like to work in. That way I keep the rack and don't feel rushed, and they don't feel like I'm hogging it or are uncomfortable asking me first.

>deadlifting
You use a rack to deadlift? How? Why?
>>42385013
Well I don't really "use it", I just do my deadlifts there since it's a rarely touched spot and I already finished my squats, I leave the bar there and go back to it when it's time to deadlift. It's just a way of showing how empty and unused the rack is at my gym I guess.

I do keep the rack to myself, however if people ask to work in I let them, not alpha enough to refuse unfortunately. It always messes with my focus too. God I hate that there are other people in the gym.
Home gyms don't have this problem.

Same here. Except I was alone. I did hit a big PR way back then though (first time I OHP'd more than my bodyweight). Then I collapsed. Also one of the very few times I've recorded myself ironically. It's a pretty amusing video.
No I won't post it.

Being generous is an alpha trait bruh. besides if they pay the membership fees they have as much right to the equipment as you do, they're not your weighs

kek
you're a fucking retard
>>42382753
let people work in while you are squatting. if somebody wants to squat while you are doing OHP let them have the rack and take the bar elsewhere and clean it
