Things Commonly Done in the Squat Rack at My Gym

[HelmsmaN]

My gym has two very nice power racks...attached to the top bar are those "ab straps" that you put you arms through so that hanging ab crunches can be done...I call the squat racks the "ab racks".

The funny thing is, only a handfull of us squat, and those that don't do those stupid leg raises! They aren't even crunching the abs right! DUH!

im kinda glad most people are ignorant about using the squat rack.. it means it almost always free, when its leg day for me.. ........ i think about 95% of the people at my gym dont do legs... i heard 5 guys ,in refrence to me, doing curls... go figure... saying, " I just saw that guy doing 3 plates a side on squats ,"

that just goes to show you...

Just remember most guys follow a set routine of:
Monday- bench and what ever looks cool
tuesday - off
wen - bi's and tris and perhaps abs
thursday- off
friday- maybe a big maybe Legs
weekend - off

I just make sure I plan around the idiots unless I am having a bad day and need to laugh or show off.

I once vomited while in a squat rack. But, I had just completed a set of breathing squats, so I guess it was ok.

At the first gym I trained at they used the power-rack as a place to hang coats in the winter.

Now that I think of it, I am the only one I have EVER seen use the power rack at my gym. I don't use it often because it is too narrow and has none of those "failure bars" as I like to call them. I use the squat rack instead. Anyways, that is funny. I have NEVER SEEN anyone use it other than me. I have deadlifted in a squat rack just becuase the deadlift place was being used for barbell curls lol. The old gym I went to had 3 very very nice power racks. No one ever used them though.

Also, I have never been more pissed than when this old man told me to do deadlifts on a smith machine. Deadlifts on a smith machine? You are a fucking dumbfounded dipshit. He said regular deadlifts were unsafe. Damn that old man, damn him to hell!!!!!!
