if your using the power rack does it make every weight plate on it yours?

[Imadeapoopsie]

in a public gym, say you already have some weights on the bar which your  currently using, and someone comes to take some of the weights from the power rack that your not using (or possibly not using yet)..

is it selfish for tht person to be taking the weights from your power rack?

do all the weights on the power rack belong to you even if youre not using them yet, and also the person taking doesnt know you were going to use them

 

not saying anything bad just want to know

If i cant find any spare weights to use and i see some that are not bein used but someone is using the machine where the weights are stacked ill go over and ask them if i can use them before i take them

I have used plates  from the power rack at my gym when the power rack is being used plus the person dosent mind

There isn't a lot of (unified) 20s in my and gym in peak hours so when deadlifting I do take weights from other people's rack. However, I think it is only polite to ask if they mind or not.

 just take them, don't need to ask.

Weights don't belong to anyone in the gym, if I need them and there's nothing else lying around ill take them.

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

have been in a gym where weights are quite limited so if it's not loaded then it's free for all but can see how it would get annoying if you needed a few plates for deadlifting and some douche was mucking around with all the weights in the gym doing 1/8th rom leg press

I think it depends how many weights there are, and what they're doing.

For instance, if there's a few 20kg plates and they're doing an overhead press, then it's fine to take a plate, because the chances of them wanting it are slim.

But if they're doing squats, and there's only one 20kg plate left, then it's just polite to ask if they need it.

And for anything in between those two extremes... it probably depends on whether I feel friendly or not.

[Pseudonym]

Also, if they're lying on a bench with the weights behind them, and you can ninja it away without them seeing... then it's fair game.

this. if its not on their bar then who cares. they can just find more weights when they're ready or wait for more, rather than having them sitting there being unused while you wait.

tell them to f*ck off and take them anyway.

I don't seem to have that problem anymore. 10 racks, most with 250kg+ in plates on them *yahoo*

Different gyms.. different rules.  Even the 'house has busy days - nine out of ten racks in use this morning, and woe betide the person who doesn't a) unload his rack, and b) leave the plates in the approved place.

 

Pseu had it right, use some judgement:  if someone's struggling to OHP 40, they're probably not going to need all the 20kg plates on their rack, if they're squatting 180 and you want a couple of 2.5s, then they probably won't need them. But.. ask.
