What do you guys do when someone asks to work in between your sets?
Today was leg day and I denied some dyel from squatting in my squat rack. >Be me >warming up for my 5x5 2.5pl8 ATG 2 sec pause squats >just finished my second warm up set >unracking the weight while I spot some dyel in the mirror literally creeping up on me >he stands way too close to me >i can feel his breath >he is wearing gasp tights on his dyel twig legs >squats in air max shoes >removes my earbuds to see what the dyel wants >"hey how many sets do you have left?" >"alot, just warming up" >"ok... can i work in between your sets?" >"eeeh I'd rather not" while adding pl8s to the bar and not looking at him >"why?" >"because I don't want to remove the pl8's between every set" >put my earbuds back in and get ready for my next warm up set >sees how he just stands behind me for a good 10 seconds before leaving
Was I beeing a dick? Is it ok to deny someone from working in between your sets? I feel no obligation to let someone (especially a dyel) work in between my sets. Beat it, dyel.
Joseph Morales
Actually today was squat and bench day, my bad.
Juan James
That's why home gym master race.
Jaxson White
Yeah, will get one when I'm older for sure.
Hudson Rodriguez
very rude, since you don't own the gym you should be courteous and accommodating to others even if you have to unload and reload weights
Eli Gray
Your opinion is beyond invalid
Brody Stewart
Well, then maybe you should have arrived sooner for your workout, uh?
Cooper Brooks
I never get asked for squat because few people are going to be able to unrack the bar as high as me, I always let people work in for bench, and I never get asked for deadlift
Easton Hill
I'm with you on this one user. I'm a dyel but one of the strong people in my gym whenever I want to do an exercise he's doing that requires the barbell, we'd just rack and unrack each side of the barbell to go on about it faster. I really like the guy, very friendly and loved by everyone, spreads good vibes all around.. something OP will never achieve I guess.
Henry Jenkins
>I'm a dyel Quit reading right there. For it was at that moment that I realized that I no longer respect you or your opinions as a 4channer or person for that matter.
Christian Cook
I'm just tryinna make it breh. Started a few months ago, life improved a lot, not complaining. No idea why you're bitter about all of this.
Xavier Stewart
You're in the right, he should have been self aware enough to not ask that when you were clearly doing a lot more weight than him
Cooper Bennett
The only problem I would have with this is if you were taking an excessively long rest times and there were no other squat racks in the gym.
i.e. if you're resting for more than 3 minutes in-between sets then you might as well unrack/rerack to build up your shit endurance.
Nicholas Torres
Not bitter. Just don't respect you.
Lucas Scott
Good for you lol
John Nelson
you were being a dick, its really not that much effort to load and unload plates at 120kg. You're also making a presumption on how much he can lift, if he's doing say 80kg the most effort that takes is popping on a 20 and taking it off.
I always offer to let guys work in if they ask how many sets i have left. thankfully they look at how much is on the bar and say "n nah it's fine man" kek
Ayden Powell
>atg >pause squats
can you get any more autistic?
Aiden Hughes
>Was I beeing a dick? Yes. Just let the dude work in, rerack between sets you lazy cuntbag, Jesus Christ.
Leo Harris
You're dyel too. Get over yourself.
Elijah Lopez
Bet you'd also let him come home and fuck your wife while you're not using her.
Sebastian Diaz
(you)
Christopher Evans
Lol, whenever I notice someone trying to talk to me about joining in I start a conversation and invite him in, like why not. Unless they are some inflated ego gymcels, then I show them their place. Like once a guy was doing bicep curls over bench press using bench press barbell, so I just told him to go use another one as I want to bench some iron.
Kayden Green
Yer a wanker, harry
Tyler Bell
You don't own the rack and yes you were being a dick. I would have just unloaded your bar and warmed up just because you were such an autistic faggot
3/8 made me reply
>I'd rather not have to unload You fucking faggot you probably take a couple minutes between sets anyway.
Matthew Jones
You'd shit your pants trying to say that to me IRL little bitch-boy
Don't reply to my thread again or I'll fucking crack your skull
Brody Collins
>keyboard warrior doesn't know who he's talking to
Jaxon Cooper
last mistake, kid
Luke Cook
yeah, I'm sure a guy who pulls in the 600s would be quaking in his boots over your 2.5pl8 pause squats
Isaac Gray
For real though I hope you made that story up because if not you're lucky you haven't been kicked out yet.
Bentley Sanders
Of course he made it all up. He just wants to argue with people like you're doing now.
Cameron Walker
You have to realize people like this exist though
Jeremiah Thomas
>"because I don't want to remove the pl8's between every set"
if there are no other racks you're a fucking clown, if you were squatting 4+ plates I'd understand and still think you're an idiot, but 2.5? kill yourself
Mason Carter
you should have let him use the rack, check your ego. and 2.5 pl8 is still dyel, you autist.
Julian Gomez
Fuck you OP
I literally let ANYONE work in with me, regardless of what exercse im doing because im not an autistic piece of shit. I also enjoy socialising and helping people out if they ask for me to.
You think you're hot shit and are more deserved of the rack than the DYEL guy because you lift more than him. Wait until you ask the same question to a guy squatting 4 pl8s and get the same answer (although this most probably wont happen because most guys that strong like helping out guys weaker than them). You'll feel what the DYEL felt. He might have even been watching your sets and wanted tips but been too scared to ask outright but you shut him down because you're a selfish piece of shit.
Jose Rogers
>has the nerve to call someone else a "DYEL" >has to warm up for 2.5 plate squats >2.5 plate >squats >mfw
i couldn't make it beyond that without laughing my head off because you are such a transparent, projecting, insecure little bitch that i KNOW the rest of what you have to say means absolutely NOTHING.
Colton Russell
This never happened the way you said >5x5 So you have more than enough time to unrack 2 plates from each side in between your sets and let someone else work in. You're just a dickhead, congratulations
Charles Scott
it's actually considered rude not to let someone work in between your sets? just started out and i'm not very familiar with gym etiquette but i figured if there was a guy squatting way more than me i should wait for him to finish instead
Michael Myers
>teleports behind you
Charles Taylor
If they're taking long rest periods then it's rude, because there's more than enough time for someone to jump in between their sets. Especially if the gym is crowded and there's no other benches or racks free.
Nathan Peterson
Summer dyels please stop responding.
Christopher Sanders
>tripping on a Taiwanese basket weaving board
Kys
Zachary Smith
>What do you guys do when someone asks to work in between your sets?
I'm not in that position because I do fullbody workouts.
Landon Ward
you're nice man, I don't know why I hated you a year back
Dylan Johnson
>acting like a dick with those numbers
Jaxson Gutierrez
You probably caught me in a troll thread is all. Most people come around
Matthew Cruz
No reason to shit on someone trying to make it. I'd tell you to kys but judging by your shitty attitude that's high on your to-do list already.
Dylan Anderson
No it's not a dick move as long as you explain your reasoning.
Mason Diaz
>just finished my second warm up set How close have I come to snapping my shit up by only doing one warm up set?
Ayden Morales
Your skull will still crack wide open from a 45plate to the dome, you rude faggot
Charles Brown
>2.5pl8 squats this is not enough to deny a DYEL from working in. You will only have to remove 1pl8 for him to work in which takes only a few seconds. You clearly are DYEL yourself if people still ask you to work in at all.
>enter gym >high intensity sets >red face >veins popping >pouring sweat >1000 yard stare between sets >rest time 5-7 minutes >still dont have anyone asking to work in
Jose Richardson
Post body and estats, edgelord.
Evan Howard
I love being that guy though.
I can do OP's weight in a breeze but I like to come in and just ask the bigger guys if I can work in so I can peel off their plates to warm up and then surpass their working sets.
Godlike quads ftw.
Now if I couldn't only work on bench.
Hudson Bennett
The dyel army has arrived.
Carson Wright
Post body and estats, edgelord.
Easton Adams
Nah I'm good. Probably not a good move for my career (financial advisor, earn lots of money especially for my age, good benefits, etc.). Thanks though.
Owen Reed
>realize nobody has ever asked me to work in for 5 months at the gym >remember my gym has 4 power racks and a squat rack open to everyone, 2 power racks for private training and god knows how many racks in the women's only section
I'm overpaying but at least I never get rack cucked
Evan Harris
Top kek yes one of your clients will recognize you >financial advisor So you sell insurance.
Grayson Gomez
This is the worst excuse I've ever seen on Veeky Forums for not posting body holy fuck
Brandon Walker
are you one of those guys that uses the squat rack for 45 minutes?
Alexander Mitchell
Is this bait? You'd have to take off a plate at most. You're lifting lightweight and made someone feel like shit for no reason.
Jordan Walker
It's mind boggling how gyms still dedicate half their space to treadmills. If people want to walk they can just go outside. They can't find a straight bar to load 300 lbs onto and a rack to work out in. Consequently, there are a million open cardio machines and lines for free weight racks and platforms
Alexander Campbell
For some reason I always warm up 1pl8, 2pl8, 3pl8 then go to working sets
Matthew Smith
>squating 2.5pl8 >calls others dyel oh im laffin
Oliver Hernandez
If he offered (or is willing) to change the weights himself and you don't let him work in you're a dick. If he's not willing to do that he's the dick
Christopher Flores
I can 5 rep more than 3pl8s but that's not gonna be ATG with a 2 sec pause. I'm not bragging about the weight but it's not dyel weight for an 18 year old.
The dude was a faggot quarter squatter wearing gasp tights and using air max to squat in. He came up to me with a weird vibe and pretty much started breathing in my face. If someone cool asks to work in sure, but not some faggot dyel with a punchable face.
Jeremiah Phillips
No. Early bird gets the worm, faggot.
Owen Adams
My low bar is also a lot stronger than my high bar, of course. Today I was just working on my high bar technique.
Lucas Brooks
he clearly wanted you to fuck him. why didn't you smash
Grayson Flores
I was using the 25 kilo plates, two on each side. unless he is going to use them, he can fuck off. and he sure as hell wasn't gonna use no 25 kilo plates.
Luke Taylor
...
Aaron Flores
OP here, not a made up story. The guy you was talking to earlier wasnt me however.
Anthony Moore
Well what do you have to say for yourself?
Are you gonna let someone work in with you in the future?
Nathaniel Turner
>5x5 2.5 pl8 >calling others dyel
Ryder Hill
>shit endurance
Yeah has nothing to do with having a brain and lifting for strength.
Back to crossfit you go
Chase Miller
Plot twist, OP was the dyel that got rejected.
Blake Nguyen
High bar, atg, 2 sec pause. Post legs you faggot dyel piece of shiit My low bar is way stronger btw
Alexander Taylor
If you have a home gym or your gym is large and uncrowded, sure, rest as much as you can to squeak those minor gains into your session.
But if you're at a gym that isn't great, then having long rest periods + being a dick and declining a guy from working inside your long ass resting periods is just even more of a dick move. It's like you're one of those people that shit in public toilets, wipe your ass, then never flush.
If you had a 3 minute rest period, or some people seem to have like 15-20 minute rest periods sometimes, then it would not hurt your gains or time spent at all to unrack some pl8s every now and then. Standard 45 lb pl8s aren't even heavy like wtf, they should require almost no energy to slide off and set back onto the holders (or if you're one of those super lazy fuck you can just set them right next to the racks this time)
Jacob Myers
huehue now you're backpedaling off of your OP estat numbers you weak shitter
Carson Evans
Not him but he said ATG paused squats from the beginning.
Now post legs.
Nolan Myers
It's his fault for not complaining to the management. He is paying the gym no less money than you to use the equipment. Anyway, next time this happens, just say "sure, if you're willing to change the plates yourself". If he is DYEL and not a self-entitled faggot, he will leave by himself.
Aiden Bennett
>not making the dyels unrack and rerack your pl8's when they work in Its like you want to be a cuck or something.
Easton Sullivan
Meant to quote OP, oh well
Angel Cook
>I let other people work in with me. I'd probably even let them fuck my wife while I watch if they requested it. I'm definitely not a cuck though!
Henry Russell
You have 30 minutes before letting someone else work in
Brandon Russell
so now you're implying that shit endurance is related to courtesy? fuck off you intellectual lightweight probably lightweight body mass too. Take your 1 min rest breaks you ADHD crossfitting sperg.
Caleb Sullivan
>at the gym >some big motherfucker at squat rack >doing 4 plate squats >im nearby doing bench >some fat dyel guy walks into the room, looks at the squat rack, turns to leave >big guy says "hold up bro" >fattie turns around >"work in with me I don't mind" >starts deloading >fattie asks if he's sure >"not my gym bro we all share this place"
Yeah, you're kind of a huge pussy weight faggot, user. Fuckin 2 second pause, idiot. lul
John Carter
>not handling pl8s yourself for forearms gains
NGMI
Grayson Taylor
>Nobody works in with ME! When I'm in the rack, I'm the king. If you want this station, you've gotta wait your turn, bucko! When and only when I'm finished are you allowed to use the rack! Same goes for my wife, if you're interested ~ After all, I pay good money for her, share the wealth I always say!
Matthew Morgan
>I'm a spoiled entitled little cunt! My parents let me walk all over them hence why I have no respect for other people! When I ask for something I get it! Or you're a fucking misogynist racist! MOM!!!!
Cooper Reed
Dear Diary, today OP was a bitch. 2.5pl8 faggot calling anyone a DYEL is some amusing shit. Share the station, work in with others. Plates go on, plates come off, it goes both ways.
Nicholas Allen
Yeah, okay buddy you can be wrong on more than one front. Here's the problem I see at the gym - all these pussies (like You) take up way too much fucking time and think they're special snowflakes especially in the power racks. Normally, it's not a problem, and plus, if I really wanted to I'm sure none of them would be as autistic as you with working in if I really needed it.
ANYONE CAN TAKE MORE TIME, YOU PUSSY. Go ahead and brag about taking 5-15 minute rest times between your shitty squats, I see fuckbois like you at the gym everytime I go but I just wanted to listen into the mind of one today. And boy, was I disappoint.
Cameron Ward
The GOAT.
Jaxon Cooper
My forearms are shredded as fuck from climbing and moving houses all day, I don't need to touch pl8's.
