See a baw working out on a machine. The one next him, is not being used. It still had weight on it. After waiting for a few minutes I proceed to remove the weight from the machine not in use and add it to my machine.

Apparently ole baw was using both because after he finished he made a point to tell me I could use the weights he was done with and then loaded the exact amount on the one that I just removed from

Does that make me a douche?

I wouldn’t have a clue, bro. Haven’t worked out in a public gym in decades.

Yeah, you’re a douche. Not sure if that’s the reason why though.

Did you just let him talk to you like that or did you smartmouth him back?

Nah. I do hate it when I go back and forth between machines, and I come back to the previous and some dude just sits at it not even using it when I just have one rep left.

That's why I generally rotate, so I'm not just sitting there hogging the machine.

Blah, you just have to read the room, see what everyone is hitting and plan ahead.

It could have been his last set.

No. Frick those dudes.
Buy your own shite and lift at home if you want to hog equipment.

It's simple. If you're working out on a machine and haven't touched the other machine in more than two minutes, you lose any right to reserve it.

The only way using two machines is somewhat acceptable is if you're doing some sort of rapid fire circuit between the two machines and knocking out your sets in quick succession. And even then you can't assume you have some God-given right two take up two machines at once.

I renovated my basement into a home gym a few years ago simply so I wouldn't have to deal with retards like this any more. It always some douche bag alpha trying to preen when he doesn't understand common sense, basic etiquette.
