So I checked SAclopedia to see what you guys were talking about.

Morally Inept posted:

A smear campaign was thrust upon Morally Inept out of pure jealousy. Said user has never hosed a dog and was set up by the powers-that-be. He is a highly moral individual who finds it puzzling how his joke post could be seen as anything but a joke. The goon hive-mind again has reared its ugly head.

I used to go to a neighborhood rec center. I saw curls in the squat rack, guys in blue jeans and steel toed boots, etc. etc. Every dumb cliche you could think of.

Lifted for 6 now and I see it at the base gym every now and then. I think it's mostly the marine corps that does it but could be the army guys too

High-weight lunges were always way tougher for me than squats. Way more muscles to coordinate. Squats are pretty simple in comparison.

If you see someone doing curls in the squat rack, it means they've already maxed out their squat stats to *** and don't have to do them anymore.

Sux to b u guys with ur gyms taht have other people. My gym is about as good as my post history. Empty 24/7 never have to wait for anything. It's in a basement under a pool and there's this huge boiler room on the way to the men's locker room. It's got valves and levers and poo poo that seem pretty accessible. Every day I'm surprised nobody has decided to play around.

It's so lovely, I love it. I could blow 2 loads in the steam room before someone even walks in on me.

lol as if anyone ever puts anything back anywhwere besides directly on the floor below them

My gym is the GBS 1.4 of gyms.

I filled out a complaint form at my gym because nobody ever put the loving barbells back. there would be 20+ barbells on the floor of the fairly small weight room every time. a few days later they put an old man in there to shout at people.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

i'm the guy the internet complains about. I travel the world, curling squat racks, benching the rack and then leaving the bench there, also I don't use towels and I often spill my protein shakes

sometimes if I need a change of pace I'll grab an elliptical and go as slow as I can for 45 minutes

There's two dudes at my rec centre that do that, and one girl who uses the squat rack to do kipping pull-ups with a resistance band looped around the bar and her feet.
We only have one squat rack.

this exactly, one time ALL THREE of the power racks had people curling the long-rear end barbells with a five or ten on the end. usually though all you have to do is go up and be like "yo how much do you have left" in a stern but neutral voice and they'll poo poo themselves and be like "oh uhhh i'm done/was just warming up" and walk off because they have no idea what they are doing anyway and you'll give the impression that they're being a nuisance

it loving sucks during the summer since all the HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES can't go to their school gym anymore and bring all their new age resistance band crossfit superset bullshit to the adult gym and occupy the racks doing their stupid kipping pullup/muscle-up/resistance band routines, like dudes bodybuilding hasn't changed for the most part since its inception and nobody who is actually jacked actually does poo poo like that, wtf you doing just lift weights like normal people and do sprints

At my gym there's actually several dedicated curl racks with special short bars for curling yet people just ignore them and do curls in the squat rack instead :negative:. It's more annoying though when people use the barbell bench for abs or something though because it's hard enough to get a bench as it is.

11am is the best time. The geriatrics are really supportive and it's easy to get a spot on the bench.

i can only go to the gym either right before work or after work

If I go before work way early in the morning it means i have to go up even earlier and im all about not going up early


So I go after work and after work is when the gym gets real packed and all the everything gets occupied :(
