poor guy. what was he like 12-years-old?
It's a university gym, so he was early twenties like everyone else. It was pretty obvious from the way he was acting that it was the very first time he had ever been in a weight room. In retrospect, I should have helped him instead of LOLing at him from across the room.
Everyone was a noob once, and I give him props for actually going to the weightroom and trying to train (and squats instead of curls!). It was just so so funny I had to share.
Bruiser,
Of course the way you are facing while performing the actual squats doesn't matter. Facing a way from the squat rack obviously makes it more difficult and dangerous to rack and unrack the bar. I don't see how this could even be debatable. Trying to blindly guess where the hooks might be to catch a bar that is really ****ing heavy is, well, not advisable.
