The “imperalist hogger”, LMAO. Fraser, I will remember that one! 😀

Very rare, but I’ve occasionally had to deal with those smuggling as many dumb bells under their bench for their whole routine… literally, pulling them as close as possible to the bench to avoid any takers. I can understand a few dumb bell sets, but 4-5 sets of dumb bells all to yourself? My gym isn’t even that expansive in terms of space and free weights in the first place (campus gym). At least line them up openly so people may jump in to perform their routine as well.

A variation of that, well one man I know specifically, is the imperialist hogger; an individual who sets up their desired weight-level for various stations around the gym, where they rotate for each one, and thence take a tantrum if you happen to use the “unoccupied” station when the imperialist about to cycle to it. You must adapt to the gym’s traffic; they will not all adapt to yours. It’s ridiculous when an individual finishes their squat set, then hastes over perplexed when I was adding on weight to the available incline-bench set-up…
