no? i have one squat rack at my gym, which i hate, and i wanna know approximately how long i'll have to wait.. sometimes i hate asking because it's a hassle for them if they're on their working sets and i'm still warming up. i cannot do any other exercise either because i like to do my squats first..

Can't see why it would be a problem?

He might just wonder if he can fit in another exercise before or if you only have 1 more set stick around and help you spot/unload.

Only reason I can see why you would not share a rack/machine is if there are too much work to do between each set.
Like you being alot stronger/weaker or taller/shorter would instantly be bad for sharing a rack/bar.

I always ask how many sets they have left. Nobody has ever took it poorly, nor would I.

its only annoying when people get upset when you say no they cant work in with you. Sometimes I only take 30 second rests between sets and im not going to alter my workout so someone can work in with me. Most of the time I am fine with it though.

Also never fucking ask someone a question when they are in the middle of a set. People have done this to me and its the worst thing you can do.
