So I go to a small gym across the street from my office to work out on my lunch break. I've been using the Stronglift 5x5 program, mainly because I can do it in the allotted time and I like the theory behind the practice (I'm no newbie to lifting, I'm just tired of the BFS program I've done since high school & college football).
Anyway, I use that squat rack 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. There are only 2 in the gym. I adjust the height of the rracks each time I'm there for squats/deads/rows/overhead press depending on where I want to load the bar up. And each time I come back, it hasn't been adjusted. Not once. This has been going on for 4 weeks now.
I'm convinced that I am literally the ONLY one who uses that squat rack. :huh:

I'd do something absurd like put a roller pad way to one side of it and see if it is moved at all when you return.0

lol if they had one I'd try it. But I'm serious, I'll leave on a Friday, come back Monday, no changes. Makes me wonder...0

Lucky! Sometimes it's a fight to get to use the one at my gym.0

It's pretty dead there when I go (1:30 pm) I've never had to wait for anything.0

My gym is so small and empty, I can leave the barbell loaded up when I do deadlifts. I went on vacation for a week and when I came back the barbell was in the same place with the same amount of weight on it. I'm pondering quitting unloading it everytime I'm done with it, seems like a waste of time. 99% of the people that DO come in the gym are just cardio bunnies or they hit the machines.0

I'm seriously jealous my friend, consider yourself lucky. In mine the uprights and safety pegs are all over the board and sometimes not even securely in-place. I bumped the rack with my belt the other day and one fell off. Then the weight tree is so ridiculously unorganized it drives me nuts. LOL.0 -
WOW...they're wasting their gym membership, or everybody is exactly your height. I'll take it if nobody there wants it.0

Why are you squatting in my curl rack?
The pegs are only the same because I don't have to adjust them for my curls.0 -

The way I do them, it's a full body curl, bend at the knee, even push up onto toes to get calf involvement. Sway for the hip flexors...
It's not much for biceps though, I have to do kipping pullups for those.0
