A very special message
To all the dudebros in my gym:
RACK YOUR FUCKING PLATES. AND DUMBBELLS. AND STABILITY BALLS. AND THE BAR ITSELF WHEN YOU'VE FINISHED DEADLIFTING.
I am sick of picking up after you like I'm your fucking maid just so I can do my own workout. I am sick of going for a fucking Easter egg hunt three days a week to find the plates I want, which turn out to be on the floor in some corner of the gym where there isn't even a bar. I am sick of someone else's fucking stability ball bouncing into me while I'm benching.
Is it a way of marking your territory? Of showing all us plebs how heavy you lift?
Yes, I get it, you're very strong. So strong you have to use ALL THOSE PLATES. And yet somehow not strong enough to put them back where they belong? No, wait, I apologise. You didn't leave them on the bar. You left them in a pile, propped up against the rack, so I have to lift them all, one by one, to re-rack them so I have space to rack my own plates so I can find the last solitary 1.25kg plate I need to increase my bench.
NOW FUCKING RACK THEM. Come on, I know you can do it. Here, I'll spot you. HoooURGH. That's right. It's all you, bro.
