why do people curl in the squat rack?

lundi 10 novembre 2014

This is a serious question. There are so many places in the gym where you can load a barbell with weights and do curls. In my gym, there's an elevated platform with a place to rack the barbell in front of where you stand. I see people deadlifting and doing things like overhead presses on it. But no one curls there; they go over to the squat rack. And let's be honest, you can load a bb on the floor, pick it up in front of any mirror, and do curls virtually anywhere. Hell, you could rack the bb on the bench press and do curls there (not that that would be any better, but still...). Generally, squat racks have a horizontal safety bar that curlers use to put their bb on in between sets, but as I mentioned above, there are other places in a gym where you can do it. Come to think of it, you could even rack it in the actual CURL RACK! Stil, the obvious answer to keep everyone happy would be to just load it on the ground, pick it up from the floor, and curl it anywhere you'd like where there's free space.



Why must people use the squat rack?? Please, please don't tell me it's because they're too lazy to pick it up from the floor. Because if that's the case, they really shouldn't be in the gym in the first place.



Someone please give me an answer here.
