Accidentally ruined girl's set in the squat rack wat do? (srs)

The squat rack looked like this, with the ability to have one person squatting on the inside and one squatting outside the box:



So I enter the gym (which was packed), and and after finding a bar, I had no option but to place it on a rack that had this meaty woman lifting inside of the box. I placed the bar on the rack, and loaded it up with one plate as she was doing her set, making sure to stay as far away as possible.

Apparently, that wasn't enough, and she dropped the weight. After dropping the weight she ended up yelling at me, telling me that I was an idiot for racking the weight as she was doing her set, and that I distracted her, which ruined her set.

The whole time she was yelling at me, I just kept a poker face, obviously confused at how I ruined her set, and kind of terrified, because that was the first time a woman ever yelled at me. Then she went and told me to never do that again. I reassured her that I thought I kept a good enough distance from her which she said I didn't.

I didn't apologize, but I helped her rerack the bar when she asked me and then took off the weights from one side when she was finished, because she asked me. She still seemed angry. I never talked to this girl before by the way, this was my first interaction with her.

Now I'm not looking to wife her up obviously, but I'm wondering how I can let her know that it was an accident and that I didn't mean it. I don't really like when people are angry at me for no good reason. Should I just ignore her from now on? Should I go and say sorry to her again next week? Wat do?

Srs responses please. Help a social awkward miscer out.

Don't quite see how you think two people can squat in there.

Ignore her and move on. Why would you care that she got upset? Should have LOL'd at her then walked away.

I'm super confused at what happened. So the girl was squatting, and while she was squatting you put a new bar with your weights on it?

It's not the exact rack, but you can have one person squatting inside the box and one person squatting out of the box, which was where I placed mine.

That's precisely what I did, and made sure to keep my distance. Check the picture to see what I'm talking about.

Also, I own the R-3, and you'd never find a rack that shallow in an actual gym. Most are probably 42"+.

I have never seen 2 people use a squat rack at the same time.

EDIT: I see you updated the pic, but still. I would've waited till she was done with her set, and even ask her if its alright. Kind of weird for a guy just to randomly start squatting right behind someone without a word.

you're a major league ******* for doing that if i'm understanding correctly

it's so monumentally stupid that i can't even believe you'd think loading up a bar on a rack that's in use is even an option.. it's designed for 1 person to use and have the option of squatting inside or racking for OHP or rows on the outside. not for 2 people under any circumstance unless you know the person or have discussed it with them already

Yes, two people can squat there.

But a non autist would have waited until after her set and asked "hey, do you mind if I work on the outside?"

Not sure why she dropped her bar though. Sounds like you're both tards

Yeah, there was a lot of distance between me and her, which was why I was confused.\

I was too scared to talk to her, but you're right I should have at least waited until she was done. It's my fault I agree. I'm telling you bro my anxiety goes into overdrive around any girl.

I get pissed when someone tries to put a plate away on a rack/bench/leg press while I'm actively lifting. What OP is describing is inexcusable.
Don't put that on me Ricky Bobby, don't you ever put that on me.

I didn't take off any plate from her own rack. I didn't even go near her, I got the weights from somewhere else.

I have never seen 2 people use that kind of rack at the same time. I seriously doubt it was built so that 2 people could use it at the same time.

Just learn from it and move on. Don't do it again, unless it's a friend that doesn't mind sharing like that.

Also. If you are not aware. Don't start pulling wieghts off a bar that someone is doing reps with.

Oh, the new picture makes more sense.

To your question: maybe say sorry or just don't say anything and avoid her.

1. I always squat on the outside rack. It's very common to do that at my gym, because it's crowded.

2. She asked me to pull the weights off and help her rerack the weights, and also asked me to take off the plates when she was done her squats. I didn't do it on my own volition.

Why the fukk would you want to squat directly behind someone anyway. When you rack/unrack and they are squatting you'd literally be less then an arms length from them.

Is this real life?

Ask her if you can work in, I'd wonder wtf you were doing if you started squatting right behind me. The social awkwardness of miscers never ceases to amaze me.

I should have done that. I usually ask guys if I can use the rack behind them, but she was a girl so it was difficult.
