i'd much rather people just asked to alternate turns, because otherwise it feels like i have to rush through them and shorten my 3-5mins rests

It's the worst when they tell you "they just started" like I'd rather hear you have 15 sets left than that

Some people just sit with their phone like they are in a cafe.

Sometimes you gotta ask, I have no qualms anymore. If I'm waiting on a piece of equipment it's because it's in my program and I've been tracking it for weeks. I can't just substitute something else, that's stupid when I could just wait a few minutes and do what I'm supposed to do. Also, half the people in the gym are just sitting on the equipment and only half paying attention, too absorbed with their phone. Nobody needs 5 min rest between sets on the leg curl. Sometimes you gotta snap them out of their doom scrolling.

My go to method is waiting for them to finish their set, apologize for the interruption and ask straight up. Worst response i got was 1000 sets (asshole)

I straight up tell them my program. My working sets are 12 reps 5 seconds each for exactly 1 minute with exactly 3 minutes rest. Working out is 25% work and 75% recovery. Each month, I do a ORM to log my progress.

How dare you make me relatable to this post now I feel old when I ask someone 😂

Confession Time: I only ask guys if I can work in, if they use the same or less weight than me. My insecurity and self hate can't handle anything else.

If you waitin for the lat pulldown machine you might as well go home. The dude/girl has 50 more sets and 500 more texts to send while sitting there.

I never ask, youre basically saying "hurry the fuck up, I want this machine." Just change the order of your workout or do something similar.

Just ask to work in. People that ask how many sets I got left get extra sets and rest periods from me. Rude as fuck question tbh.
