This comic outlines four essential unwritten rules of gym etiquette to ensure a respectful workout environment. It advises gym-goers to re-rack their weights, wipe down benches after use, avoid curling in the squat rack, and refrain from hogging machines while using their phones.
GainFrame Guy. The unwritten rules. 1. Re-rack your weights. 2. Wipe the bench. 3. No curls in the squat rack. 4. Phone ≠ machine.Rule #1: Re-rack your weights. They just... walked away. Plates still on. Bar still loaded. They looked you in the eye and they did not care. This is a war crime.Rule #2: Wipe. The. Bench. You do not have to leave a crime scene after every set. A paper towel. That's all. It costs nothing. Please. Sir.Rule #3: Not in the squat rack. There are 40 dumbbells. There is open floor space. There is literally a curl bar. And yet. Here you are. Seriously?Rule #4: Your phone ≠ your machine. Leaving your phone on the machine for 6 minutes while you text across the gym is not "resting between sets." It's not.Tag the rule breaker.
