OK so, that guy is tying up the rack taking phone calls, getting friends to spot his 60kg bench press, whatever. The platform is taken too. You’re on this website so you probably like doing heavy compound barbell lifts and your training plan is probably something based around getting hideously stron…

That’s why I have “template” but not a concrete plan. But i usually picks times that the gym are not busy so I can do whatever I want. But I tend to go in with an idea of what I need to complete in a given week. And depending how the week goes I just make it work. For example I know each week I nee…

This is pretty much exactly how I’m training at the minute. My available training time and days is pretty inconsistent with family life but as long as I get in my to do list I’m good, that may be spread across 3 sessions or 6 short sessions but I get it in.

Working well for me also. I find when my training time is inconsistent I can easily get very frustrated trying to stick to a set in stone routine. Some nights it’s shoulder rehab and abs on the living room floor whilst watching tv!

[image] strongmangoals: Tap him/her on the shoulder, say “You have 5 minutes to get out of my rack”. Then go get changed. If she’s/he’s still there, you pick up a 45lbs plate and yell “I told you, get out of my rack” and you hurl the plate at him/her. This is my default response, and that’s …

Ask to work in. People usually either say yes or hurry the fuck up and leave.

Was in this situation today for the first time all year. Just did all my accessory work (that I usually superset with my main lift) first. That, plus a proper warmup, took up about 20 minutes - just enough time before a rack was free. Usually I never have to wait. Many times I’m the only one in the…

Do like the others said. I adapt. If I need to Deadlift then it’s easy. I find a bar, floor space, and I Deadlift. I don’t get the bumpers but as long as I snag two round plates I’m happy. I usually do this near a rack so if a tech opens up while I’m deadlifting then I snag it and I’m set. Before …
