And son, I know you're strong as hell (stronger than me), but I was lifting heavy before you knew where the gym was. 
But I stand by my statement tho. If you're doing 10 sets with 6+ minutes between each set, you're spending over an hour 'resting' aka hogging the squat rack not even squatting. |
Yes, I can use the squat rack for over an hour. Sometimes even more if I OHP after. If that bothers you then may I politely direct your attention to the TWO other empty squat racks beside the one I am currently occupying?
I specifically switched gyms for this reason. My old gym was a busy community centre with one squat rack. I moved to a quiet gym with three racks even though it's 20 mins farther from my place. I cannot remember the last time I've seen people squat in all three racks simultaneously. If that still doesn't work for you, I will gladly move to one of the empty racks so you can curl in this one.
Also, I "knew where the gym was" when I signed up at 15. That was almost 16 years ago. I was not nearly as strong back then as I am now, mainly because there was no internet back then to learn from. Everything I learned, I learned from magazines and "bros" in the gym. I still managed to rep 245 on bench when I was around 20. I stopped lifting for most of my 20's. Those years were dedicated to other athletic interests like jiu-jitsu and running. So yes, you may have been lifting longer than me
recently but I assure you, you have not been lifting heavy before I "knew where the gym was."
