Yeah.... if you don't need 1 plate on the 45deg leg press, you should probably go use the n00b leg press in the old-person side of the gym....

#courtesyplate

Spoiler!
jk i re-rack


what's way more annoying is when people steal and leave less than 4 plates per side for the leg press holders.....

showed up one day and there was only 2 pps on holders was like /smh now I have do three farmers walk to the nearest smith machine

For leg presses I agree since one plate is probably minimum weight for just about anybody.

but for barbells it's just laziness. Barbells aren't only for benching or squats.

Sometimes I like to do that lunge movement where you finish the lunge motion with a barbell lift over the head. Not sure what it's called but I had a previous PT show me that one and it stuck with me.

On the plus side, I can start my workout with a 135 hang clean to get the barbell where I want it for squats or OHP. Lol

Starting to realize most people at the gym are ass holes.
Would go help that old fart / girl if I ever saw a guy struggling with 45's . That must be frustrating over all for them , especially if they are worried abou hurting their back. Back pain is legit horrible.


agreed with clearing / cleaning up your area every time. have some class

well, your son is in the top 1 % I can tell u that. I coached middle school for 3 yrs. Even the biggets line men , over 200 lbs in size. Couldn't lift 225lbs was 6 ft. tall


majority of 13 yr olds can't hit 170 . Maybe top 5%



70% or more of grown men can't do 225 i would think .

If you've been lifting long enough, you understand when to leave a 45 and when not to.

Im sure most of you acting like its common sense dont always put them back, do a set right in front of the dumbbell rack, stand in the middle of a walk way to do a set, or put weights back in the wrong spot.

I'm far from an expert, but lifting a condensed 45 lbs. PLATE is very different than a spread out, long bar ( it's so hard. so long. )

Handling a plate wrong could easily jerk or pull something on any one who is out of shape, or has a minor loss of balance. a 110lbs. woman lifting 45 lbs plate is a lot of strain i would imagine .

I think we are talking about "when not to" case a only here. If I leave 135 on the bench it's only because that's what the next guy wants. It isn't hard to listen to people in the gym.

The other behaviour you talk about is complete douchenozzle territory - especially working out on the db racks. There is a tool at my gym who loads up a barbell for curls and sets it down on the db rack blocking a whole selection of dbs...

It shouldn't be a mystery to anyone who seriously lifts that the gym is no different from other parts of life - very selfish and inconsiderate people train too.

Yep, leaving any plates on is inconsiderate, and an empty bar also signifies you have left the station.

I can lift 45lb. But I'm also 5'2" with shoulder impingement. Taking 45lb plates off a bar above my head just so i can lower the bar is more difficult.

If you use a public gym be considerate, you don't know what might affect someone's abilities.

They're more like 42lbs each once you consider the hole in the middle of them but that's off topic.

Good you always rerack it. For sure I have no problem with stuff being left on if you know the next person wants it, but general courtesy is to clear the bar and rerack, for multiple reasons.

You shouldn't leave any weights on a bar. It's not like it's hard to put a 45lb plate on an elevated bar. But mainly because it's a sign that someone is using it. If there's weights on it you assume it's not free. It's just common sense.


Machine's like Leg Press on the other hand is a different story. Moving dozens of 50+lb plates (25kg at my gym) is tedious as **** and I love it when someone leaves at least a few plates on the machine. And it's not like someone is going to be jumping on the leg press doing less than 2-3 plates per side unless they are doing some weird pilates warm up in which case GTFO.

I get annoyed by that too. As someone who is 6ft3, I need a longer bar for my wingspan on bench for instance, if a manlet has used the bench before me and left weights on a smaller bar and also has adjusted the stands that hold the weight up on the bench it means I have to strip it down . Sometimes there is 200 pounds or more on those bars. 45 pound plates left isn't a 'courtesy' it's because someone can't be arrsed to tidy up and you have taller people than you, smaller people than you, women,beginners to the gym etc etc.It's especially becoming an issue now ,as it's approaching the summer and gyms are busier.
I bang trannies.
