Am I the only one? I've started doing curls in the squat rack ... I'll admit I really like the feel of barbell for standing curls.

At least I'm not doing situps or hip thrusts ... lol

We have 3 squat rack at my gym ... like Rb said above ... I do not use it (for curls) unless at least 2 of 3 are empty ... but I'll admit there are barbells in other locations ...

I'll never understand the hatred for that unless you're at a shit gym that doesn't have enough racks to go around. Mine's got like 6-7 of them so it's not a problem. I do it all the time. I'm typically always doing something else as well so it works, but unless you're holding it up from people that want to squat bitching about it is stupid. One of my gyms locations has curl benches so there's never a reason to eat a rack, but when that's not the case? Holding up a piece of eq from somebody that needs it, when you technically don't is a douche move across the board, but when it comes to the curling in the squat rack I think that's just a things bro's say..... because that's what bro's say.

Sometimes I hang my sweaty workout clothes on a Rack to air a little bit while I go shit, shower, and shave before I go home ... never done curls in the Squat Rack though. Sheesh.

Do you wear pink spandex boy shorts while doing them? If so, you're all good....

Dang it ... I knew there was a reason I love SI so much ...
What in the world is SI?
I’ve been asking for weeks.
Oh yea, i do curls in the squat rack, power rack, and in the bench all the time. It’s how i build big biceps.

Yup, the only one. My gym only has 2 since it's a small space so there's no curling in the squat rack or cage.
