Anecdotal and rare in reality unfortunately. It’s like the unicorn of experiences.

Now, how do I get the hot trainer in booty shorts to come around to the idea that people are a far better loading option for glute bridges than barbells are?

If I had a dollar for every time a guy pulled out that line while I was doing those…

Well… Jenn’s fitness center has only had one patron so far for 2021 , but I guess some of my pet peeves are …

When I see a new spider web even though I just cleaned that shit up
When I don’t put away my weights and then I trip on them the next workout
Continually tripping over and having no place for my heavy, awkward safety squat bar , and then banging it on everything making loud noises when my kids asleep trying to move it…

I feel shamed now.

Are we starting some dominatrix type relationship here?

Yes, like “Antichrist” style

Long corner brackets like this are under $6 for 2 at Home depot:

I’d get bigger screws than what comes with these but this is enough to safely hold a SSB on a wall (assuming you drill into a stud)

If you are willing to spend more than you can get something a bit nicer (like ones that hold ladders or bikes up or an actual gun rack)

Just had another peeve happen yesterday. At this gym it seems that Saturday is a big leg day and they only have 4 squat racks. So a guy is training with a girl. The problem is that they are doing the same weight maxing out at 135lbs but occupying 2 squat racks! Really! Why cant they use the same rack to open up a rack for someone else?

Chains and binders?
