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.

What circumstance causes you to put up with this? I go to a wonderful gym with all the equipment I need for $15/mo. It's also empty half the time.

It's a really typical gym just lacks amenities like parking, locker rooms, etc etc other things I don't need and don't want to pay for.

Whoopdie doo for me I know, but why would you pay to go to a gym with no bench press...

No that sounds good. I'm looking for a new place myself but there's nothing around that has an actual weight training setup. Just "Fitness centers" ie cardio machines and weight machines. Anything that does have that wants upwards of 40 a month.

so grow a pair and tell them to clear it. when I'm waiting for someone to finish, and the tell me they're done and start to leave I tell them "no you're not" and point to the plates. make them clear the bar. most people at least ask if I want the weights left on or not, and then clear it when I say nah, but when big swinging dick is like "yeah I'm done" you've gotta nut up.

By the time I ever notice anything the dick is already gone and the weights are still racked. I see abandoned weights on bars all the time but don't think I've ever actually noticed someone abandoning them. Since I don't set up an observation post, I just assume if someone is still in the area, they are between sets, and I move on.

Garrand: Dec 28, 2012; Rhino, you did this to me!

Ughh, college is starting up again soon and so come all the morons who don't know how to rerack their weights. Along with just plain not racking the weight at all, it's inevitable that every day I see 5 and 2.5 plates smashed behind or between 45s. It's not loving hard to put the weights in the right place. I wish I had a good gym that enforced this poo poo.

My school gym keeps it clean and organized. All the big time lifters get their student jobs at the gym and they take it p seriously. It's nice.
