Always wash your gym clothes before wearing them again. Yes the gym is kind of a disgusting place when you think about it (try not to dwell on it for too long), but this does not give you the right to go to the gym wearing dirty clothes. It makes no sense to do bicep curls (or other isolation exercises) on a squat rack when you can just as easily do them anywhere else. Gyms have a limited amount of squat racks but an almost infinite amount of space to do bicep curls in. There are not too many exceptions to this rule and curling in the squat rack is definitely not one of them! The squat rack is a magnet for non-squat exercisers because it’s placed directly in front of a mirror and has easy access to a bar and plenty of weight. Get wireless headphones, turn your music on, and put your phone in away until you’re done working out. This isn’t only selfish, it also makes your workout much less effective as rest periods increase, intensity decreases, and duration becomes ineffectively long. Don’t use your cell phone while sitting on equipment between sets. It only becomes an issue when your cell phone use prolongs the time you occupy equipment. No one really cares if you use your cell phone at the gym. Instead, use a jump rope or body weight exercises in conjunction with gym equipment to increase intensity without inconveniencing others. Avoid taking more than one machine at a time during heavy traffic. When the gym is crowded, these supersets are impossible to do without inconveniencing a lot of people. Supersets are a great way to increase intensity.
