Yeah, my gym has one regular supersetter. It's a small gym with 2 racks, 2benches, 2 platforms. He monopolises 1 of each, plus the EZ curl bar and some dumbells. At least he works out when it's quiet, grunting through his 60kg half squats

I used to superset if time was tight. If you work hard and fast, you can get a great pump. This was before I read Starting Strength. However I never tried to claim a bar or machine, if someone else wanted it, I'd just switch to something else. Once I was on the other end. Some guy had taken the ez-curl bar and set it aside for later use. I was working out to two buddies, one went to pick it up and the guy yelled at him "I'm getting ready to use that" Mind you, he was benching at the time. I said "bullshit" and took the bar so we could use it.
Man, one of the only lifters I chat with at the gym, one of the guys that actually squats heavier weights is constantly dropping the "gay, queer, faggot" pejoratives. He also has this nugget of of quip "I'm not into black chicks, but that one is built and she squats heavy!"
Finally the other day I was telling a story about a gay friend of mine and the guy looks at me like I'm nuts and says "you hang out with those people?"
So I bust out with the "Man my wife does community theater so half our friends are gay; her best friend(gay) officiated our wedding, and our girlfriend is gay/bi-sexual... so yah. "
He was rather quiet after that. I'd rather not be the overly-sensitive to language weirdo at the gym, but come on.
I'm similarly sensitive to the ghastly "retard/ed". Nasty as it is, my niece has development delays and it all becomes a bit more personal..
Retarded isn't offensive when you use it correctly.

Would the use of brotard(ed) be better?
Edit just to be clear: rather than the use of retard I mean, and it's only one letter longer for those too lazy to type the alternative.
here are some alternatives.. http://alisonrowan.bigcartel.com/pro...-s-so-retarded
