If a person asks you how many sets you have left in a machine, you say the number and also tell them that they can work in with you. Whats this "imma sit here on the pec flies for 10 minutes and nobody else can use it" ****?


Been going to the gym for 20 years and honestly shocked the misc aint calling you out on this one, thats common gym etiquette.
idk man, it seems a lot easier to just chalk it up to OP most likely being autistic.

Legend has it OP is still sitting on the machine to this day, refusing to relent it for even a moment in order to permit someone else to use it for a set or two.

I never deny anyone if they ask to work in but don't go out of my way to offer them to work in

Then he comes around again and lingers around and asks the same shyt and I couldn't be bothered and just left the machine to him and used something else

What would you have done in this situation?
I would tell him how many sets I had left. You autism bro?

I just say '4 sets left' and stare at them blankly until they walk away. I don't want some sweaty moron on my machine putting the wrong weight in after he's done with his half reps. Be fkin patient or change the order of your routine, makes no difference

"I don't know". I hate when people ask me that chit, not that it happens often, because -

A. I don't linger/take a long time on machines, so fuk off. If I was one of those people that hog something for a long time, then I could understand asking, but I don't.
B. I don't plan, have a pre determined number of sets so...I don't know. I decide as I go.
