If any of you want to change your tune, you have till the end of the day to come on here, and post something funny about how gay it is to curl in the squat rack.
Otherwise I will find you and expose you as the hypocrite you are. I can say with almost 100% certanty that at least one of you was joining the fun and piling on in that thread. Lets see what we come up with shall we.

before I joined, I spent like a month and a half reading that thread.
There is one story about pooping in the front seat of a convertible that stands out in my mind as hilarious.
My gym has four bench presses and 2 Safety Squat stands. Better to curl at the bench rather than make someone wait to squat. Drives me nuts to see guys curling 65 - 85 lbs in a squat rack when they could just pick it up off the floor or straddle the bench to use the rack there. Then they walk away to talk on their cell phones between sets and don’t strip the bars when they’re done.

People seem to take it seriously on both sides of the fence … and to me that’s just not American.
I mean who are we to judge someone who wants to rest their lightly loaded bar on the pegs of a squat rack in between sets for easy access? I know my ancestors came to this country to escape the oppression of the squat rack communists of Eastern West Virginia, behind the Rusty Iron Curtain. I envision a land where we’re free from that kind of oppression, where we can use equipment with or without the support of our fellow men as long as we, as a community, are not hindering the progress of another.
By God, people have we all gone blind? Have we all lost our back (funny) bones? Is this really that big of a deal? I put it to you, T-Nation, are we going to let this drive a wedge between us or are we going to swing our sledgehammers in defiance of the oppression that surrounds us all? I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to sit here and let you bad mouth the United States of America!!!

Excuse me, you are not allowed to question what others do in the gym, THEY WILL LIFT AND USE THE FACILITY AS THEY SEE FIT AND IF YOU QUESTION THIER ACTIONS THEY WILL CURL YOU INTO A THOUSAND PEICES!!! If they feel like using the squat rack to hang their 3 way gay sex swing, well then they are going to and you can go to hell because they have been having gay sex in swings for much longer than you have. Got it Mister?

I curl in the quilt rack.

I really can’t see all the squat rack curl defenders on here. Why? One of the greatest threads of all time on T-Nation was Squat Rack Curls. So even if in real life you think there are situations where it would be fine to curl in the rack. Just tuck that one away, and chortle with the rest of us over this long running joke here.
I mean it’s like, Say your girlfriend has a poodle, and when none of your buddies are around you let the poodle up on your lap and you snuggle with it. Thats cool and all, and maybe I would do the same thing too, but if you are out with the guys and one of them is like, fucking poodles, what pussy dogs. You do not start defending the poodle, you agree and never tell anyone that you do in fact have a little soft spot for your precious little poodle. In fact, you should make it know that under no circumstances would you even allow a poodle to be in the same room as you, this will help bring back some of the testosterone you lost when cuddling with the poodle.
Come on guys, is this fucking BB.com? Do we really have guys openly defending squat rack curls? I am truly fucking ashamed.

OK I laughed at this.

it’s weird the way a thread will go…if enough people near the start are for something…many will chime in of the same mind.
Years ago, you couldn’t find any such defense of this nonsensical practice. That there are staunch defenders now is an illustration of how far this site has gone down hill.
Yeah, it’s pretyy weird as that thread “Squat Rack Curls” seemed to me to be a thread about 4000 posts long about infractions just like this.
I figured there were certain rules about the gym that were universal…like put your weights away…not just to keep it tidy but you don’t want soemone to walk into the gym, see plates on a bar and do someting else because they figured it was in use.
Same reason why you don’t do curls in the rack…you know damned well it’s possible to do them elsewhere. And don’t tell me it’s because you’re doing more than 135…who cares? I deadlift on the floor so you can do curls with the olympic bar from the floor too.
…Aside from the fact that the racks and the bars go together? Atleast in my gym they do, there arent barbells chilling in the corner waiting to be used. The barbells are on racks, if you use a barbell, you use the rack. Removing the bar from the rack would just be “plain ignant.” Would it be better to move the bar, and turn to the guy wanting it and saying “Hey i moved so you can squat there, but Good luck finding a bar.”

Same at my gym.

You’re going to need a better set of parents if you want to be “just like me”. With the genetic material you are presently working with, your goal is likely unachievable if not impossible. But good luck to you anyway - shoot for the stars, even if you come up short, you tried. But to show you I’m not a bad guy, you go get that Curves membership and I promise to show up and spot you a few sets.

Come on, in a commercial gym what are the chances that the squat rack is in use but the bench not?
