Sebastian Foster
go at a better time retard
Adrian Sullivan
this is funny because its TRUE
Chase Hernandez
If the squat rack is taken, do leg press or lunges or hack squat instead. Improvise.
Ethan Powell
Totally normal first time experience bro. If all racks are taken, ask someone at one of them how many more sets they have. Then wait your turn. You will stand there waiting, feeling awkward, until it's your turn. The feeling of awkwardness will get worse before it gets better, especially if you feel like you don't belong. But nothing will actually happen, I promise. The person will get done, and you can go in for your turn. Good luck, we're all gonna make it.
Leo Wright
I worked out in my home gym exclusively for years before I dared to tread into a real gym
Isaiah Wilson
"hey, senpai! How many sets left?"
They will either let you know when you're done, or will say you can share the squat/bench. Also, always place your water or towel near the equipment you want.
Andrew King
don't actually just literally stand there watching them squat tho
making sure you know not to literally say senpai either (unless they're asian but be SUPER sure they're not actually mexican or something)
Mason Foster
I wish I was a grill so I could go to a female only gym where nobody lifts and have the rack and weights all to myself.
Jayden Watson
LMAO the word f a m got filtered.
>don't actually just literally stand there watching them squat tho Don't listen to him, OP. Look right at their asses to make sure you get the form right
Hunter Moore
Pick one guy using a rack and sit where he can see you. Then just stare right at his body, preferably his ass, non-stop. Lick your lips a bit, adjust your crotch... That should speed up the process.
Hunter Powell
Fucking new baka desu senpai
Kayden Ramirez
Never ever do this. Don't even ask to work in
nothing infuriates me more than a dyel asking how many sets I have left so he and squat 100 lbs with flipflops.
You're going to be waiting regardless of whatever number he says, so just sit on an empty machine and wait till he leaves. Then you could assert your dominance by overhead pressing his squat in front of him
Chase Harris
"Hey man how many sets u got left"
wa-la
Wachu gonna do, big boy, flick your post workout cigarette at me?
I fucking love asking that to cunts like you wholl get mad at anything

Connor Robinson
>where do you work out that it's so busy? ITs a nice gym but its right by a college so its filled with kids constantly doing meem BB.com bullshit. Only 3 squat racks so theyre usually taken by some idiots/women doing supersets or some nonsense. Its weird cause they have seriously like 20 benches but only 3 racks.
