There anyway. Otherwise trying to find a place where everyone isn’t walking around is annoying. Deadlift and rows I’ll give you that but OHP I need to re rack at shoulder level and I’m not going to use the crappiest rack ever made (seated shoulder press rack) for OHP.

If you’re at the squat rack and doing anything other than squatting

Hmm.... what about bicep curls

Martin Van Nostrand

Even the bicep curl has its place and that is not the squat rack

Hammer curl?

As long as you’re in between squat sets you’re golden

Where would you recommend someone do their overhead presses.

Find a new gym

Use dumbbells better for overhead anyway.

If you can't clean it up to your chest you should stick to the machines.

The Machine

5/24/19 9:42pm

You should be using a completely different grip for overhead press and clean

triumph

5/24/19 9:56pm

What? How are you gripping your cleans and overhead presses?

DKN

5/24/19 9:57pm

Maybe he's talking grip width.

I was mostly joking, but standing ohp isn't a great option for your shoulders.

The Machine

5/24/19 10:02pm

OHP is a great option for your shoulders. It can be overdone like every lift but

Other lifts though to achieve the same pump

DKN

True. I usually opt for something different, but if you need to go heavy rack

This the only other option off the top of my head that I agree with

Thumbs down for the deadlift only. Where else are you supposed to DL?

cougaman

5/24/19 9:40pm

If your gym doesn’t have deadlift zones you need to find a new gym

DKN

5/24/19 9:41pm

Our gym has 3 squat racks. Most gyms don't have DL stations. Not going to spend

Be a man and squat. Lunges are for folks that are scared of squatting
