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]

It is very different to do this with your partner than to ask a guy a head taller than me to adjust the bar to my height so that I can work in. No-one does that. The only type of sharing that exists in my gym is that someone uses the platform right behind the rack for deadlifts while someone else squats. Strangers do not work in on their squats. And yes, I would be super annoyed with someone doing their silly GVT for an hour while others want to use the rack.[/quote]
