oh, and it’s not about being holier than thou. it’s about courtesy of not using up a piece of equipment that is designed for a specific purpose that can’t be done elsewhere
Agree to disagreeeee.
The point is people get pissed off while they’re laying on the bench press witnessing someone curl in a squat rack that would be sitting empty otherwise. I can agree with the majority of peeves at the gym…this just is not one of them and it irritates the piss out of me as much as it does you but for a different reason.
Btw, BB curls aren’t better than EZ curls…are you nuts?

a curl is a curl. no matter if you use a BB, DB or a bag of rocks. the biceps cause flexion of the arm, there’s nothing magical about BB curls.

Btw, this is nitpicking just one point of my post.

And I addressed this…did I not?
I like the rest of the rant on the shirt, aside from dropping the dbs…how do you gently set down your 100lb + dbs when you’re on the decline bench?
Why don’t you just move your squat rack to the last line and have it say “if I need to squat - get the fuck out”? I have no problem with that.

Have you ever seen David Henry(among dozens of others that I know of) who use the adductor to bring up their inner thighs? It accounts for a huge part of the leg so don’t discredit a movement until you are totally sure you know how people are using it.
I think it is pretty funny. Personally i would never wear the shirt. Last semester i would always go to my gym around the same time after class and before work and on my leg day there would always be this one guy with a huge upper body doing curls in the squat rack. He was probably doing 100+ pounds on it though while swaying his upper body back and forth to give him some momentum to get the weight up. I was forced to use the crappy squat rack outside a couple of times because of that but the guy seemed like a nice guy so i’m not about to tell him to fuck off.
That shirt is very ghey
That shirt has way too much reading material. I support the cause, but you might want to hand out book marks so people know where to pick up the next time they see you.
I always wanted to make a shirt that says:
I have friends.
(On the internet)

Yeah, god forbid someone using uncommon training methods to make gains. Of course, using the abductor probably made him look totally un-hardcore, which, of course, is the whole point in going to the gym. That and picking up chicks.

Which reminds me of one huge guy who was using the same method to bring up his inner thighs talking about how other guys at the gym would ask him if he was trying to make his pussy tighter but he didn’t care 'cause it added so much mass to his legs.
sorry but the only people that belong on those worthless “inner/outer thigh” machines are hot chicks!
I got it. You just make one that says:
“I’m the coolest guy in the gym”
“No Curling In the Squat Rack Shirts” is a no brainer.
Determined curlers use Curl Shirts, of course.

And guys who can swallow their ego for 2 minutes while they take their legs from good to spectacular. Take a quick gander at Tom Platz’s legs when you get the chance and tell me he would have been remotely as impressive without that INCREDIBLE inner thigh mass he had. Nobody to this day touches that.

I’m pointing out that there are people who feel cooler than a person curling a huge weight because they are doing squats even though they are squatting a nerd weight.[/quote]
Oh…werd
GF wanted to do squats tonight, but couldn’t.
granted one guy was squatting about 370, but there were 2 other guys in another rack (we only have 2), doing fuckin curls

Agreed. In fact, the two IFBB pros that train together at my gym use it on their leg days frequently. Both in terms of loosening up their hips, and creating impressive leg development.
I do have a pertinent announcement to make regarding this subject…A new state of the art fitness facility recently opened close to my home and I joined last week. This gym actually has pre-weighted straight bars that go up to 110 which I can kind of live with - plenty of room to curl outside the rack too (since it is not an olympic bar)! I will no longer be curling in the squat rack for the most part, although I will in fact still need to venture to that holy domain for an ever so brief occupancy of a set or two.
