yep..... im a guilty one,but before you pass judgement on me let me explain why. The olympic bar takes up a lot more room than the regular barbell. The diameter of it is bigger and the length is clearly a lot longer. When one puts weights on either side of the olympic bar and walks around with that looking for room to curl... one gets even nastier looks than just curling in the squat rack!! I just say look... i will be glad to get out of your rack, when im done!!!

I'm glad my gym has a separate rack for this so the internet gym police can't complain!0

I do this sometimes because nobody ever squats at my gym.0

As long as you yield to squatters when they need the SQUAT RACK by all means curl away......but if you say I got 3 more sets.....oooooh ooooohhhh ooooohhhhh!0

Is the power rack considered the squat rack?0

How much are you curling, such that you need the Oly bar?0

Fair enough.
If I need to use the squat rack for squatting I just let the person know.
9 out of ten times they do their curls or pullups or whatever somewhere else.0 -
Pick up the bar, hold it upright, take it to where you want to curl then put it down and add the weighs on.
Simples.0 -
put the barbell on the top of the squat rack, and leave it empty there. it'll be an indication to anyone that wants to squat that they are free to do so.
take an EX curl bar, like below, and bring it to the squat rack. i find that it is long enough that it fits in the squat rack, and can be rested on the bottom part/bumbers.

Doesn't your gym have curling barbells? These are usually shorter than the olympic barbells that you use for squats0

There's exactly one squat rack in my gym, and lots of squatters. There's also one guy who stubbornly insists on curling in the squat rack - because of the olympic bar - despite the gym being equipped with a graduated weight curling set. Lines form behind him while he does 8 sets of curling in the squat rack. Squatters need it for safety.0

It's a joke, I really don't care if people curl in a squat rack, and I'm not much of a fighter anyways. I was hoping to get some laughs out of it, not to get everyone defensive and ready for a fight, geeze.0 -

Lol, it's from a youtube video from a guy called Edbassmaster. Why bring God into this? Oh well, I guess MFPers don't have a sense of humor. Maybe you all should eat more carbs. Hope you all have a better day. 0 -
You clearly haven't checked my diary for today....... there's carbs aplenty. :blushing:0
