I would have ignored the younger guy and told him to frick off if he said something

Sounds like the old guy put the circuit trainer in his place with that statement. Good for him

Leave a sweaty towel on the bar when you leave the rack. No one will take your spot.

Old guy grabs a 45lb plate and cracks younger guys skull open -- Sorry, just finished watching an episode of Oz.

Supersets are for figs who read too many Flex articles. Be honest, he's prob not eating or sleep or injectinh enough to superset.

He can't claim it to be circuit training bc it's 3 exercises with multiple sets.

If he wants to claim the rack, place a bag/towel/belt in it.

The old man probably wiped his droopy ball sweat all over everything.

That's why I get swole at home

That's pretty bad but not as bad as the people who sit on a machine for 20 minutes talking and texting, doing 1 set every 5 minutes.

frick that young guy.

If you are supersetting, you better be in the same room or you will lose your place.

Is it appropriate to fart while doing squats? That movement with the strain of the weight always pushes all the gas out of me

Sure, use that extra jet propulsion to push that weight son.

WTF does this have to do with anything? I believe you are being a bit sarcastic, but not sure. If you lift more, you have more of a right to a machine/equipment???

If you aren't on the machine, you have no claim to it. Young guy can eat his own dick and every other dick in the gym. I'm sure he'd enjoy seeing himself do it all in those big mirrors he does curls in front of.

Who supersets two leg exercises anyway? If I was to superset a squat workout it would be like squats/ back or something. Do some pull ups or something like that, and you can often do those in the squat rack.

Just because said guy was old doesn't mean he wasn't in better shape. Sounds to me like he has been around the gym for awhile. That comment is awesome.

I stay at something until I'm done. I might go get a quick sip of water from the water fountain, but I don't jump from one area to the next. Pisses me off when people do this, and I will take over something with no hesitation. Get your sets in at one place, then move on to the next.

I'd have backed up the old man if I were there.

That young guy isn't about them gainz if he's super setting squats with another leg movement(s).

My legs are trashed after each set of squats.

The gym I go to is crowded at all times, so I always walk to a secluded area and take one earbud out just to be safe.
