Hmm. I voted Any Excercise. I hardly ever use the cage. The racks work fine for me when it comes to any workout really. But if people are using the normal areas, then yes, I will do whatever I have to do that day in the squat rack if need be.

until this thread I never paid attention to this in the gym. So today I figured I'd see if it happened often. I saw 1 guy do it. He had an olympic barbell with 1 dime on each side. I have to say he looked foolish standing in the squat rack doing curls. He was also a new face so probably trying to keep his New Years resolution.

brogers · 01-05-2006, 12:16 AM

I do squats, SLDL's, and heavy rows in the rack.

can u picture this:
Wolf...standing there...tapping her foot in impatience...with 'the' look on her face...and non-verbally comunicating to the poor bugger to get the hell outta her way....

Burner02 · 01-10-2006, 06:08 PM

Now, are you talking about the squat rack? (the 'resting bar' is curved, so just walk the bar to a catch and set it on it) or the power cage?
I have used the rack to do curls. Left the cage alone.
Also, i have either gone early in the AM or later in the PM when there are less people there...(I hate waiting for equipment to open up)
Now, on back day # 2, (I have two different back workouts) I will stay in the cage my whole workout.
Dead lifts, pull ups, (there is a pull up attatchment on it)
BB Rows
Shrugs.

I have yet to have anybody need the cage while I am in there. I have had an occasional person do squats in the rack, but hey..that's what it's there for.

Now, if I were doing my pull ups, and some one came over to do squats, yep, alter my workout and use something else. But, if it is open, I am gonna use it.

Maybe next time I will do walkouts with 6 plates per side on the only rack in the joint and leave them there for you to unrack. Then I will proceed to hop on the next piece of equipment you were going to get on and sweat, fart, and sneeze all over it without cleaning it. After that I'll go take a shit, I won't wash my hands, and I'll use the smith machine you were going to use for shrugs for behind the back pinky curls for 5 sets using 8 minute rest intervals, and leave a little shit smear on there for you.

I pay my money too, I can do whatever I want to, wherever I want to, and whenever I want to... Asshole.
