Guest Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Not exactly "overheard" since I was a participant.I was just starting my workout (at a rack), and a girl comes up right next to me in the middle of my set and says something. So I rerack, take my headphones off, and she asks if I'm almost done. I have 4 sets of squats left, 5 sets of OHP and 3 sets of deadlifts to go. This, apparently, is not acceptable. So she stands directly behind me and watches. And sighs every once in a while. I look down the line of racks (there are 8) and there's 2 open. Eventually, the two guys next to me (who had also just started) quit early and gave her theirs. The best part is that she did maybe 3 sets of power curtsies with an empty bar and then left.

I-Jo Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 you actually stop your set to talk to her? wow- you are significantly nicer than I am- no way. that is beyond rude. what a clown show. 1 Link to comment
MetalNinja Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Not overheard, but today I noticed little stickers on the power rack in my gym. So, you can adjust the safety pins (obviously) and they're numbered. I was doing my full squats, you know, alllll the way down, and I had the pins at 16, although I probably could have had them at 15 and not hit them when I got to the bottom. The stickers were at the 12 setting and said "do not set pins below here for squat exercises." They looked like manufacturer's stickers. Like... what? Is this a thing anyone else has ever seen? It's like they want you to only do power curtsies. Butts. Link to comment
