That guy who fell under the bar doing the clean..... that really wasnt funny
Agree, he was doing bloody well too until tipping over backwards. Not ad if he was an idiot trying to lift a weight he was never gonna manage. That could've seriously fooked his neck/back, he certainly seemed to have lost consciousness. dave_s13 said:

I really want to start doing deadlifts, but at 48, I always worry I'll end up trying too hard and end up damaging my back..
I trained bench on Monday with a guy a few years older than you and he's stronger than 99% of gym goers. He squats and deadlifts heavy too.Edited by Art0ir on Wednesday 10th December 16:34

i go to one of them "the gym" gyms, open 24 hours so i can train at 11pm onwards. The only problem is there is only one squat rack and one smith machine for god knows how many people. O yeh and no bench press racks whos bloody idea was that then
You can be one of those people who does bench presses in the squat racks!Probably had this already;
Was squatting the other day and overheard some guys talking about what they could squat/deadlift, anyway, long sotry short, uni dude complains that the floor in the gym is all soft and squidgy and that he doesnt like squatting to heavy on it. The ground is solid concrete with 2 layers of solid rubber matting so nothing to do with the cushioned shoes he is wearing.
Proceeded to say how his max squat was 160kg for 4 at around 80kg BW yet unable to do a full range of motion on the 45 degree leg press despite loading the weight up.
I know, cool story Bro.

If it's free, I use a squat rack for pressing.
Saves cleaning the fecker every time.
Happy to vacate if someone wants to squat though.
You are part of the problem then, you lazy sod.Saves cleaning the fecker every time.

But if someone asks me if they can squat im happy to move. Most of the people in the gym tend to be on chest/arm/back day so the squat racks get limited use.

The problem being, however much someone says they are happy to move they actually resent doing so. I ask people to move often and the response is rarely one of happiness.But if someone asks me if they can squat im happy to move. Most of the people in the gym tend to be on chest/arm/back day so the squat racks get limited use.
Also, some people aren't as prepared as i am to ask others to move, which can lead to pent up demand for the rack.
Using the right equipment is both good practice and good manners.

Same. My gym has two squat racks....though I prefer the rack attachments on the big climbing frame (so three in practise). I do Rip's SS at the moment, so all my resistance work is bar work, in the same order.Saves cleaning the fecker every time.

Right now, my Press is done at the start, a healthy lower back is key plus my the order of my exercises, if I have the bar, then I've got it for a good long while.

Squat rack today - skinny black youth using it to shoulder press 25kg. Yep, 25kg. His headphones were bigger than the plates on the bar.
Maybe he's recovering from injury?At least he's not curling it I guess...
