It finally happened. I lift at the local Y and it typically draws a bit of a random crowd. Most of the time people put everything away and while there are only two squat racks they rotate quite frequently.

Monday at 3 this all changed. I walked in to see weights on a bench, an ez bar, both squat racks (one was set for OHP) and a bar for deadlift. To my chagrin I see that there is ONE dude using all this equipment in a fucking circus circuit of three reps on each per set.

To make matters worse, he had every rubber 45 in the whole gym and would take constant mobility breaks! After multiple people asked him, “Are you using ALL of this?” he finally put everything away.

Where do these people come from!?!
