Ok - my bro and I were benching last night. When we began, we were the only guys in the gym. About half-way thru the workout, 2 guys who weigh about a buck-fifty each sit on an adjustable incline bench and watch us. Now we only did 6 sets for each of us, and we did not tie up that bench for more than 25-30 min. Keep in mind that there other benches open, as well as the 2 benches they are sitting on. When we are thru, one of them exclaimed "finally". So I ask what the problem was. Get this - he said that WE should have asked THEM to work in with us. WTF - these guys couldn't handle our warm-up as their top-set. Is there some NEW gym etiquette that I don't know about. Some opinions please. ------------------ The moral? It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up - you had better be running.     | ||

Fuck that bro. Proper workin ediquite is asking the person using the equipment if it is OK to workin. Then you do not take off plates. Anyway I'm sure there was other things that they could have done for chest while waiting for you. Your gym only has 1 bench? | ||

Hell yes there were more benches - another flat-bench, 2 powerlift style inclines, a smith machine and 2 adjustable flat-incline as well as dip bars. ------------------ The moral? It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up - you had better be running. | ||

Bah! Nothing against guys that weigh a buck-fifty, we all start somewhere, but COME ON! Unless you guys were doing sets with 800 or something and were taking up all the 45s in the place, they have no business telling you that shit when there's other equipment they could be using. Strange. | ||

Shadow: I never heard anyone suggest that the user of a piece of equipment has the responsibility to find out if anyone else in the gym wants to use it. That's BS! Somebody wants to work in, fine, I'm happy to oblige! But if someone's gonna sit down close to me and give me the hairy eyeball without asking themselves if they can work in, that's their problem. Period. Be well, be happy, and lift heavy, brothers. Bjaarki | ||

I can't belive some of the idiots out there, with these squids there is only one way to take care of them, as ASSFACE would say, drop a still protein fart right at your last set, let them get down on the bench and lounge in that stench. ------------------ | ||

actually the proper way is to keep your f^cking mouth shut and wait your turn. F^ck those little punks. you can either ignore him, or GRAB HIM BY HIS SCRAWNY LITTLE NECK, PUSH HIM BACK SO HE TRIPS OVER THE BENCH. NOW YOU HAVE HIS PENCIL NECK PINNED TO THE FLOOR. SPIT IN HIS FACE AND TELL HIM TO NEVER, EVER LOOK IN YOUR DIRECTION, LET ALONE TALK TO YOU EVER AGAIN. or you can wait to catch him in the locker room and break his damn jaw. | ||

I think u should make sure u can keep up w/ the guys u are wanting to work in with.. I feel bad telling someone they can't work in, but damn it would take me all night to be taking plates off just so they can work in w/ me.. | ||
