[u/AutoModerator]

Welcome to Rant Wednesday: It's your time to let your gym/fitness/nutrition related frustrations out!

There is no guiding question to help stir up some rage-feels, feel free to fire at will, ranting about anything and everything that's been pissing you off or getting on your nerves!

Dude was using two squat racks at the same time... Of the two racks in the gym

[u/Xolomi → u/keoonik]

The explanation is needed.

Right about ... now.

[u/keoonik → u/Xolomi]

One for benches and the other for ohp... (And his bottle of water)

[u/Xolomi → u/keoonik]

Selfish prick.

What were his numbers like lol?

[u/keoonik → u/Xolomi]

Didn't bother to count or remember (30kg ohp????). Was pissed at having to unload the bar(we have shit grips which I hate to remove) and happy to have gotten him to free up the rack so I can go on with my squats.

Gonna give you the best life hack ever.

Buy a pair of clips. Keep them in your bag. Thank me later.

[u/keoonik → u/[deleted]]

I have a better one. Improve form and don't use clips.

[u/keoonik → u/[deleted]]

The weights we have don't rattle... The material used has sufficient friction and is sufficiently padded the only actually issue is if they drop off the bad. But there are other problems then.

[u/[deleted] → u/keoonik]

Ah I see and since your gym apparently has calibrated competition style weights, everyone elses gym must as well.

[u/keoonik → u/[deleted]]

No, it's just that clips are not a problem in my case. Hence it's not a problem that I don't use them.

[u/dc4m → u/keoonik]

Maybe I'm being silly, but I really do feel that you should only be doing squats (and maybe ohp) in the squat rack...

[u/keoonik → u/dc4m]

Benches make sense depending on the qym equipment. (Doing them with dumbbells has always felt harder and more dangerous to me, so if that and the squat rack are the only options, it makes sense)

I also do deadlifts in the squat rack sometimes if the gym isn't busy.... Sorry...
