You’re there to workout, not socialize.[/quote]

Yeah, no.  Literally some of my best friends I've met at the gym.

How bout we modify your rule:

'if headphones are in, don't talk to that person'

But if no headphones are in, its fine to start a convo[/quote]
We will agree to disagree…[/quote]

But sometimes I like to workout without headphones?  What then?[/quote]
That’s on you to figure it out…[/quote]

Well, not really.  Original PP said everyone should "wear their headphones and MYOB"

If I don't wear headphones and chat with other members, that's really on THEM to figure out how to let it not bother them.  We're having a grand old time hanging out in the squat rack[/quote]

Oh please, don't hog the squat rack. There are people who actually want to squat![/quote]

Resting between sets is not hogging.  That's my biggest pet peeve.  People acting like time between sets doesnt matter

Many times, I'll sit and wait for 20-30 minutes to get a rack.  Once I have that rack, I'm using it for my whole 10x10 squat workout.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to work in.  [/quote]

DP and look, it's totally your right to use the squat rack for your 10 x 10.  It's also completely understandable that people find it annoying that you're on it for, what, an hour?  For one exercise?  Working in on squat racks is a complete PITA, especially when one person has very specific rest times.[/quote]

no one really wants you working into their squat sets unless they are taking 15 min breaks. Unless the 2 people are the same height and lifting around the same weight. Otherwise it would take way to long to readjust everything between users. It's not like a piece of equipment where you just need to move a few pins. [/quote]

I squat with my work-out partner at least once a week, sometimes twice a week.  We are usually squatting a difference of about 100-125 lbs.  We just change the weights.  It's really not that hard[/quote]

I’m the one who called working in on the squat rack a PITA, and I stand by that.  Working in with a stranger is completely different than a workout partner, which I’m sure you know.  It’s not just adjusting the weights and rack height (if it’s one of those kinds of racks), it’s the timing, etc.  Just, no.  Telling people they’re welcome to work in makes it no less a PITA.[/quote]
