If you care about who does what in the squat rack, you're a homo

[RainingBlood]

I curl in the squat rack. No one says **** to me.

I concur with OP.

Also, MARK RIPPETOE says to curl in the squat rack. I personally spend my entire workout in a power rack, I don't care if I hog it up, my school has 4 and I'm the only one in there not doing some BS. Only twice a week do I venture out, and I ride that lat pulldown machine for the duration I need it for.

Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do?

The answer is nothing. Where else am I supposed to barbell curl/OHP? How many gyms have specific stations for barbell curling?

I'll curl in the squat rack rather than let some loser quarter squat in it.

[CWGame]

I don't mind if u are curling in the squat rack mostly because I did, but this guy was doing retarded half bench dips on the safety bars today and that annoyed me.

[muhgains]

Yeah, try working out in a highschool gym.

I'm benching, arms, and shoulders in there tomorrow. I'm going to own the chit out of that power rack. When I'm OHPing more than every kid is quarter squatting, I'll be remembering what you said.

Saw someone do dips in squat rack

That doesn't piss me off, that's just retarded.

i only care cause my gym only has 1 power rack

if there's more than 3 or 4, then nobody should care if you're doing OHP or bench or something. but never curl, you just look like a ******* and you could use the preset weight bars or dumbbells and leave the racks for someone to do a real exercise.

[xBONExCROWNx]

I've benched in the squat rack before.

I just hate when people take over the squat rack. There's a group of lifters that take it over for hours at a time. And they are all fat AND weak. It pisses everyone off.

But I barbell and dumbbell curl.

Groups are the worst. It literally seems like theyre doing 12 sets each. In fact, I'm pretty sure they do.

if you're doing both on the same day, unless those dumbbell curls are db hammer curls, you're wasting your time.

[RainingBlood]

Have any reason for this belief?

Should we also not do DB bench on the same day we do BB bench?

[CWGame]

Why's that?

[ErikTheElectric]

I spend about 1-2 hours in the squat rack on various days, therefore I cannot give anyone sh*t for doing anything in the racks anymore.

[Madden12634]

if you're doing incline DB and barbell flat, then thats fine. bb and db flat is just a waste of time on the same day. barbell and dumbbell (non hammer) curls on the same day is pointless. they're essentially the same movement, and there's absolutely zero benefit to doing so. volume =/= results.

I agree with the bold but it's a well-known fact

I would alternate between incline seated curls and barbell curls personally if I were to curl or just stick to either

Ridiculous. That is not 100% fact.

Different things work for different people. Plenty of people on here respond well to high volume. Barbell and dumbbell exercises work the muscles differently.

99% of the people on here, yourself included, don't know 'what they respond better to'. you do what you enjoy. and it is absolutely 100% fact that volume =/= results, regardless of the person. high volume is just to make the person feel like they're working hard, when in reality most of it is redundant. and no they don't. a dumbbell curl in a supinated position constantly will not give any different results than a barbell curl. plus, the only people who need to worry about working different heads of a muscle are professional bodybuilders.

I have been here 4 years longer than you have. Please, don't tell me what I respond better to.

If I want to do 6 sets for my biceps, why is it useless to do 3 with DB's and 3 with a BB? I don't believe the DB curl and the BB curl are identical.

Why not have the best of both worlds and do both DB and BB? If you're not opposed to that, then why is it bad to do both variations in the same workout? At the end of the day, the goal is to hit your intended rep range and progress with your next workout.

do you not have ****ing barbells for curls in your gym? i thought they all did? they go up 10lbs from like 20 to 100 or 120 in my gym. and i do OHP, bent over rows, squats, and barbell shrugs in the power rack. my gym only has 1 power rack and then a smith machine next to it. if you have those other curl bars in ur gym and u still curl in the squat rack then you're just an inconsiderate *******, you could do that anywhere but people can only squat or OHP or bent over row in the power rack

you have no idea what you respond better to. and its useless because there's no benefit to it. do 3 bb and 3 hammer, or 3 db and 3 hammer. there is no reason to do 6 sets of the same curl, you're just wasting your time. will it hurt you? no. is it worth it? no.

i agree, barbell and dumbbell are not identical. you cant supinnate your wrist on barbell curls. but barbell curls give me a better pump and imo are better for mass building than dumbell curls. but i love doing dumbbell preacher curls. i usually do barbell, hammer, and d-bell preachers one workout then incline curl, circle hammers (hard to explain and idk the real name i just call them that), and either barbell curl or barbell preacher curls.

for standing curls i prefer barbell over dumbbell though
