I finally made my very first visit to the weight gym yesterday which marks my first day on Starting Strength. However the weights room only has the one squat rack. Just wondering what you would recommend to do whilst it is in use. Since Rippetoe is so adamant against adding any accessory exercises I am not sure. I have read about asking to "work in" with someone..but I am the smallest guy at the gym..I'd pretty much have to rack every weight on the bar in between the other persons sets.

P.S. Its the only weight place I know if in a town of 92000 people (Britfag here) and I'm being ripped off at £35 a month ($70)

yea what the fuck that is expensive as shit for only 1 squat rack

either way what time do you plan on going to the gym?

i've been doing stronglifts 5x5 for the past month and a half and not once on any of my 3 day splits have the squat racks been occupied when I arrived, and it's a popular gym ...I just happen to go around 11am to 1pm and it's like a ghost town when I go

No. And you know what further takes the piss..

Its inside a really well equipped sports center but its £35/$70 a month for JUST THE FUCKING WEIGHT ROOM..don't get to use the real gym or any of the sports facilities..The sports center has its own masssssive gym but like most gyms in the UK I've been in, they don't have weight equipment (other than a few dumbbells).

Oh yeah, one other thing (it gets worse) - opening hours are 10am to 10pm, so I can't even get a workout in BEFORE work when it would be less busy.

Its High Wycombe if thats relevant to anyone.

My school has 3 gyms, free access to students, $100 a year for alumni, and the only Olympic sized swimming pool in the county. Not to mention far more than 1 squat rack. You guys and your shitty overpriced gyms.
