Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

The excpetion to this is if you're fiddling about and taking your time when you take and re-rack the dumbbells.
Whilst there's no expectation for you to wait until said beefcake has finished, it is good etiquette to only block their view for the minimum amount of time possible.
Lordy! A straight answer on CUK. Thanks Duck.Comment

It isnt your problem that the weights rack is in front of the mirror. Ignore the beekcake and just pick up whatever weight you want. I seriously doubt anybody would object to you picking up your weights. They might, however, object to you using that as an excuse to ogle their bits at close range. Do it from a discreet distance.Vote Corbyn ! Save this country !Comment

Unfortunately it seems you are not yet part of the 'in crowd'.
To make yourself popular in these places you need to, when in the changing rooms, offer poppers around and towel whip the biggest chap who is naked as a sign of friendship. After this you'll i can assure you that you will be popular.

Something else that I find mildly disconcerting is when I'm pumping away like Billy-oh in front of the mirror, somebody else starts pumping away right behind me.Comment

Originally posted by gricerboy View Postwhen I need to retrieve or replace a weight I have to momentarily obstruct the reflection of one or more these beefcakes at which point they invariably growl at me. Am I committing some kind of gym etiquette violation by doing this?
