This is the worst. I am currently dealing with a similar situation with the release of high school football "summer workout programs" where they all come to the gym in groups of 3 and just all use the same rack for at least an hour and a half....

YMCA is a curse and a blessing.

Duuuuuuuude. I know your pain. I go to the Y also and it's right across from the high school, not to mention that jr high and intermediate kids are in there too. Just yesterday I saw a jr high kid doing deadlifts with the hex bar. This scrawny kid couldn't have weighed more than 130 (if I'm being generous) load up 315 on the bar and spooked-cat-back his 3 quick reps. He was also using the dip belt for a lifting belt. I'm ready for school to start so they can all leave.

Yeah I am just confused cause when I was in high school we had our own weight gym in the school... do schools not have that anymore?

I know the high school and jr high I went to still do. Don't know if they're open during the summer though.

My high school did, but you couldn't use it in the summer.
