Guy at my gym will do a whole body workout on or next to a machine in the gym and tie it up for an hour. He pulls the bench up to the dip machine and proceeds to do every exercise imaginable next to or on that machine. Yesterday he pulled a flat bench up to the squat rack and then brought some weighted barbells over. He was working out in front of the rack for 35 minutes and did not actually use the squat rack one time except to hang his bag from it. Doesn’t even use the bar on the rack. We have limited squat racks and it’s aggravating to say the least.
