My gym doesn't have dedicated bench press benches. Instead you're supposed to set a power rack up with a flat bench in there and then change the safety bits to lower the barbell low enough to bench.

There are only two power racks. To me, power racks (at my gym) are for bench pressing, overhead pressing, and squats. Do your other poo poo somewhere else. Also gently caress people who take ten minute breaks between sets of squatting 150 to gently caress around on their phones. Said guy also sure was a noisy grunter. Thought he was trying to go super saiyan or something.

I've come in a few times now to people loving deadlifting in the power racks for some reason. Not as bad as curling I guess but still, if you want to squat or bench you also have to wait.

Also I now hate people who won't rack their drat plates after finishing up. Oh, you're strong enough to put it on the bar and squat it, but not strong enough to take it off the barbell again? loving people.

gently caress people. I'm going to use a university gym in a week and a half, and I hope the smarmy little undergrads don't gently caress everything up all the time.

For preworkout I open it and take a sniff.

$30 bluetooth earbuds from some random chinese company on Amazon. Use em until they die and buy another pair.

Anyone who buys Beats By Dre to use in the gym is literally retarded.

If you care about the fidelity of your audio when working out I suggest that you find a local clinical psychologist to help you.

Lmao if the sound of your grunting and heaving isn't enough to get you through your workout

there is nothing more annoying then ur headphones falling out halfway through a set of squats and you have to finish the set to whatever poo poo music the gym is playing.
