    My YMCA has two power racks located on the wall imbetween large windows (window,rack,window,rack,window). The racks and the walls are the same width and the windows are recessed, creating a shelf just a waist height about a foot wide. So many people bring in their stupid bags and leave them there and come back throughout their workout to retrieve things or to talk on their cell phone. It won't be long until someone runs head first into my bar after turning around.

    It's just distracting with 275 on your back having someone trying to squeeze between your bar and the plate tree between the racks. I'd think that would be higher in the safety priority.

    Yup. Definitely agree.

    Fuck em. Just do your squats and let them get out of the way.

    I've tried that strategy. Then someone hit my bar at the bottom of a 455 squat. I finished it, but it really throws you off. It's not their safety you need to be concerned about.

    I don't understand why people can't wait until the end of a set. It's 30-45 seconds. Last week, a guy carried a loaded ez-curl bar with one of the ends over my face while I was benching. (Not sure if it was actually directly above me, but it was close enough that it felt like it.)

    If only.......plus I think I am older than her dad. He just looked a bit (a lot) beat up and wouldn't have been able to help her much.
