But it’s awkward if you have to readjust the seat or add or subtract weight plates. In those cases, waiting until the person is done is a better choice.If someone is standing over your shoulder waiting to use the machine that you’re on, kindly ask that person to work in with you. Or tell the person how much longer you plan to use the machine. Say something like, “This is my last set. Then it’s all yours.”
