No, I'm guessing you should there 30-45 seconds.
I do sets of 8 reps for shoulder shrugs so it's ~15-20 seconds max.

you should have asked if he wanted to take a drive thru to sonic.

Just be a man and hold the weight until you find an open area. Consider it a mini farmer's walk.
Fwiw when I'm done with shrugs I'll just stand there and grip the weight as hard as I can for a minute or so.

If you’re in the way of the other weights yes you are in the wrong. Grab your 10s, take a few steps back and do your set with room for people to pass in front of you.

Dude was an arse because at a big gym we all have to deal with different people's grooves. That being said, when I used to use dumbbells for shrugs, I would get the dumbbells I needed and then back up a few feet as to not obstruct people from using the other dumbbells in the area.

Is there not room to take a couple steps back so others could pick up the weights?
There is not at this gym. The benches for people to do weights are 3-4 steps behind the row of weights, and there's only 5-6 feet between each bench. You either have to do these exercises here or move to some other corner of the gym.

You are blocking other people from accessing the weights. It is incredibly selfish. Pick up the weights and move somewhere you lazy bum.

Take my weights somewhere else?
Yes.
Take them next to the other area where you are working out and bring them back when you finish your super set.

Never understood why people have to stand in front of the rack to do a shrug. Move back a few steps so others can work in.

Then move to another corner. You're there to work hard but you bitch about having to work a little harder?

Yes.
Move out of the way.
For just a set, gym bro can chill. If he's camping out in front of the dumbbells for more than a minute, sure say can you move, but for one set? Don't be that guy.

Like I said, not possible at this gym given the layout. There is probably 5 feet of space between the row of weights and the row of benches (some adjustable, some not). So I either have space to do the shrugs right in front of the rack of weights, or I have to go long distance some where else because if I back up three of four feet I'll be in the way of someone doing a bench exercise.

This kind of thing irrationally annoys me. Can you not just do one exercise at a time rather than doing single sets all over the gym 3 times over?
Circuit training is fine as long as the gym isn't crowded. If it is peak time, it's a dick move.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 9:34 am to GeneralLee
If I'm doing anything at the rack, I always take a few steps back so access isn't impeded.
Posted on 3/28/18 at 9:34 am to GeneralLee
If your are literally just doing one set, putting them back, and leaving the area then I see no problem with this.
