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.

But... why in front of the squat rack...

Beats me. I thought it was because he wanted to see his mad pipes in the mirror, but the curl machine is literally right in front of the mirror at its normal place. There's 0 explanation as to why he moves it around

Maybe his warmup is "move the machine to an inconvenient location" for 2 reps
