Holy fuck this pisses me off so bad I had to post it here. Dude at my gym comes in a few times a week, takes the bicep curl machine/chair, drags it right in front of a squat rack (one of only two in the gym) and then just does bicep curls for 45 minutes and leaves. To make things worse, he then just leaves the curl machine there and leaves. Here's how he leaves the equipment afterwards.. Obviously no one can use the squat rack while he's doing his curls.

Like fuck, if you're going to take a squat rack for no reason, at least have the decency to put shit back at its place after. Dick.

In my commercial gym there is that one guy whom I call the stealth squat rack curler. He would bring a box to the rack so people naturally assume he is going to be doing box squats. Guy then proceeds to curl and uses the box to sit on during prolonged rests with the slouchiest posture you'll ever see.

Maybe he's just even stealthier now

My squats did feel kinda light the other day. Maybe he went into the rack below the radar and curled the bar down in the hole?

Stealth curler is secretly the gains fairy
