Why was there a confrontation at the squat rack?

I had my knee sleeves on with olympic shoes walking to the rack.  Guy looks a me, gets up from the bench and goes into the rack and yells to his woman across the gym where she wants the pegs.  I walked into it and moved the pegs where I need them and he says to me "my gf is squatting"  I said to him looks like shes fucking off on the other side of the gym.  He told me to get out of there so by now I've had enough, I just ran 2 miles and I wanted to finish up and get out.  So I just basically said alright make me fucking leave.  Bit of a stare down and he walked away.  Absolutely sick of going to the gym when it's busy.

His woman was literally like in the corner do side planks and shit.

That sounds intense. I'm lucky that I train at a fitness centre that is relatively quiet. I remember when I used to train at another franchise during peak hour there would be 50-100 people in the gym and that gym only had 2 benches and a squat rack. My current gym peak time is only 10-20 people but there are two squat racks. I never had any confrontations at my old gym but I remember when I needed to use a piece of equipment I'd be eyeing it off like a hawk until it was available so nobody else could beat me to it. The most annoying part would be when people come up to you and are like "so how many more sets do you have" or "can I work in with you". Fair enough if I'd been using a machine for a long time but often I'd get asked literally on my first or second set!

It'll be interesting when you see that guy next time

Thinking about just going full blown crossfit again.  If it can help me lose 20lbs or so then ill be happy.

Heading home and going to figure out how to set it up.

Workout tomorrow

“Jackie”
For time:
Row 1,000 meters
Thruster 45 pounds, 50 reps
30 Pull-ups
Round 2
500/25/15
Round 3
250/15/10

300 wall balls

each time I stop its 10 push ups and a 2 minute jog on treadmill or track, possibly the track


I wont know the distance on the rower because it doesnt track  distance anymore, its fucked up so i guess for round 1 ill do  3.5 minute row,  1.5 minute row then a minute sprint

that sounds absolutely horrible. the wall balls come after everything else? have fun.

yeah i just realized i fucked up but its written in stone, cant back out now.

I backed out only because my legs aren't conditioned for that whole workout.

I did the 3 rounds of Jackie officially in 27.5 minutes but one of the guys in there interrupted me to talk for like 3 minutes.

Legs were trashed

total
Thrusters: 85
Cleans@95lbs: 30
Push ups: 25
Mins on rower: 6

That just shows how out of shape I am.

I did the first round with cleans and the last 2 with push ups.

Then x2
Wallballs: legs trashed
25 WB
5 push ups
1 minute run

My legs literally didn't want to run

Going to shower and get a haircut and go back afterwards to do some biking and idk another wod
