    Those exercises are too important to me to skip so here’s what I do

    • Survey the landscape and try to figure out who might be finished the soonest. If someone is warming up, probably not them
    • Ask how many sets they have left
    • If they have less than two, ask if I can have the rack next
    • If more than two, ask someone else
    • After doing this, find a spot in eye shot of the rack but not like right next to them staring them down
    • Do some warm ups - if squats I’ll do goblet squats or just squats holding a 25lb plate. If bench I’ll warm up with light dumbbell bench or pushups, etce
    • Thank that person after they’re done
