[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I'll flip this script.

Don't roll your eyes and sigh when you ask me how many sets I have left and I give you a big number.

And [b]don't side-eye me when I'm taking 3-5 minutes of rest between my sets in the squat rack.[/b]

Also, don't be too shy or awkward to ask to work-in with someone if you need that equipment.  I've never said no.  [/quote]

Up to 5 minutes of rest?! I reserve the right to side-eye you, but I would definitely ask to work in (because I’d assume you were done and just lazing at that point).[/quote]

That's what my program calls for on some days.  3-5 minutes between sets.

But I do hope you ask to work-in.  I'm a super extrovert and love talking to people during workouts but I'm also fully aware that about 99% of people don't want conversation at the gym.

So if you ask to work-in, its a good way to get to know people (but only if you take off the headphones :)  I promise not to bother you if you keep your headphones in)

Also, the funny part about it is that the power lifters are the gym are generally the friendliest and most welcoming of all the gym members.  So we love it whenever anyone wants to work in with us[/quote]

I'm the PP you are responding to. Great response, even though I still think 5 minutes is ridiculous. But I've never been shy about asking to work in, and most lifters are totally cool about it. [/quote]

FWIW, sometimes I feel ridiculous waiting 5 minutes between sets, but that's really what you need to do at that load.  But in a commercial gym, I know I look lazy.  But it is what it is[/quote]
