gym assholes

[moya]

i could deal with pretty much all the other stereotypical gym behavior if people would stop doing squirrels (our name for squat rack curls) and would re-rack their weights. I get so sick of people loading up 495 on the bar, doing two 1/4 squats, then just walking off. I've done straight sets of deadlifts where i nearly passed out, gotten blood shot eyes, and could barely think straight from the headache, and i still always rack my shit.

you can do curls anywhere but the squat rack cuz your not lifting so much weight that you can't get it off the floor-which is the reason for the squat rack.

I dont curl in the squat rack but I know what you mean...alot of peooplel on here talk smack about how people suck and have poor etiquitte in the gym. They never say any thing to those "squat rack curlers" in the gym, they watch and then run to their computers and bash them in these threads.

If you are there to work I dont think you would have time to notice what others are doing, Im usually sucking wind and whincing...not looking at whose curling in the squat rack. Besides...noone seems to squat anyway may as well use those racks for somethin'.

Im 6'3" and 292 and the largest in my gym...the only reason I know people watch my workouts is because the staff behind the counter tell me so...

I have before if the cages and racks are all full. Actually, if you read through the threads here, you'd see quite a few people have only to get in trouble themselves with the gym.
