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

DKN

Hammer curl?

Checking my phone and sending text messages?

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

DKN

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

The thing that always drove me nuts was people lowering the rack, loading up the

Rack pulls?

That’s a tough one. Let the swoly spirit guide

I was trying to think of exceptions and this was my only one

Other lifts though to achieve the same pump

DKN

5/24/19 9:45pm

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

5/24/19 9:49pm

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

cougaman

5/24/19 9:50pm

Do a kettle bell dl then. My gym has 13 squat racks and 8 dl stations. It's nice

It's LA fitness. They have the octogonal bumper plates. They only have 1 true

cougaman

Same... LA fitness is not really designed to do DL anywhere else other

Screw that, I’m doing military presses, dead lifts,and barbell rows

kotacoug

5/24/19 10:13pm

Why though? You can do those anywhere

Odysseus

Easier to adjust weights and rack... I don’t spend more than ten minutes in

What about taking selfies in between sets?

Are lunges ok?

freeedomguy

5/24/19 10:34pm

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

DKN

What about putting my yoga mat underneath it for my 30-min post-run stretching routine? Is that OK?

That's my favorite place to do leg presses though.
