The only competition I have for squat rack is the old guy doing shrugs there. Never cleans up his weights either.

There's a guy at they gym I go to who does shoulder shrugs on a bench. He's a pretty big guy and he's shrugging a shite ton of weight, but he uses yellow chalk and cakes that shite on there. If you get stuck with that bench after him, you're going home with yellow hands.

As far as the squat rack, our gym only has two. Real pain in the arse. I can't complain, because I'm probably in there for 15+ minutes myself on leg day, but when someone is doing shite that a squat rack is not needed for, it's infuriating.

Agree. The old men that use the hand dryer to dry off their old man dick and balls is my biggest gripe

What kind of leg workout are you getting in 15 min? I'm just finishing my warmup sets at the 15 min mark.

Is this you?

Today I watched my gym's poor squat rack being used for some form of semi vertical push-ups

were you trying to work legs? Or are you such a beta bitch you let what others do in the gym affect your workout?

Guess you were upset by the clothes they were wearing too, right?

I hit about 5 sets of squats and move on to the deadlift area. I don't need to be in the squat rack the entire time. I'm not doing 15 sets of 2 or anything like that.
