ok... serious question here.

what is eveybody's problem with people who do curls in the squat rack? at my gym if you want to do them with an olympic bar the rack is the only place to do them (many people do curls in teh rack at my gym). there are no platforms and 3 squat racks, so it makes a whole lotta sense to use them if you want to use an olympic bar.

just wondering becaue everybody seems to have this huge problem with it even if they aren't trying to use it; and even if they are trying to use it what is the big deal if the person does there sets and gets done in a reasonable time, they are allowed to use the equiptment just as everyone else is

btw. i have never had anybody ask me to move because they want to squat or dl, or row; i just see eveyone on here talking about it and wondered what the big deal is??

yes.

It was a pretty frustrating day at the gym for me today.

you're an idiot.

just to be clear, i'm talking about a multipurpose rack like number 1.

Neither of those racks should ever, ever, ever be used for curling.

I've dealt with people like you.

well said.

Maybe this analogy will put it into perspective for you.

But by that logic, women should be allowed to curl in the power rack.
