The New Yorker

Excuse my autism but can someone explain what the comic means?

stare at Stacy doing squats

As based as you can expect from a magazine run by lefty (((metropolitans)))

So, not really.

This.
Only incels and autists discourage phone use because they don't use social media as they don't have friends.

brehs, is that the feels guy sitting on the bench?

drink water, warm up for the next exercise, clean your sweat.

I do agree to an extent though I just don't like to carry my phone anymore, no need either they have a big ass clock I can use to track my rest time.

I think whoever drew this missed the point of rest between sets and is blurring the line with thots doing yoga/bodyweight exercises at the gym.

>stare into nothingness
Unironically yes.
But I'd call it meditating. Or re-centering your focus.
Or you know, read a book.

play your switch

Rookie mistake OP, you should never post an image more interesting than the post itself. It's a guaranteed way to immediately have your post derailed.

hahahaha holy shit this is the quality intellectual humor ive come to expect from such a respected organization

In the gym there are often a number of phone fags who look at their phones for extended periods of time while occupying gym equipment someone actually wants to use. It's goddamn annoying especially when u need the equipment for ur workout. The comic shows a gym with a separate area for them to do exactly that instead of working out lol

>that boomer who reads books in the gym

>hey, how many sets do you have left?
>hey, mind if I work in?

What does it matter if someone is on their phone. The equipment will be occupied either way

>all these lone fucks who stare at their phones between sets instead of talking to a gymbuddy or other regular people
Lmao wtf is wrong with you

Between sets I normally just sit down on the bench (I train in a wl gym) and stare down or look at other fellas lifting

How is her form?

Are her shoulders too far forward?

I use the SL 5x5 app.

I'd chin tuck a bit, but good nonetheless.

How about feeling the rush of blood through your body and actually enjoying the high you get from it. How mental are you that you can't go literally a minute without checking your phone

staring at the floor master race reporting in

His post is literally about the image you fucking moron

10/10 bait i couldn't resist

>doesn't acknowledge all the old guys who stand around, leaning on equipment, and taking up space while loudly jaw-jacking about whatever shit just flashed by on ESPN.

They're the real problem.

Those shrines aren't going to find themselves.

This pussy never lifted a weight in his life

i study during my rest time. I get a good 30 minutes total of study time after im done with the workout

she could be taking a closer stance and her feet could be pointed outward rather than being perpendicular to the bar. she could also take a closer grip. her back is nice and flat and she's looking up and outward like she should.

What is your DL 1rm

>How about feeling the rush of blood through your body and actually enjoying the high you get from it.
It's not enjoyable. If it's enjoyable for you, you aren't lifting enough and are not gonna make it. After my sets my HR is at 160+, my muscles are burning and I'm inbetween trying not to puke and trying not to die.

My phone stays locked away in a locker. I take pen and paper to track my lifts. People spend too long fucking around on their phone at the gym.

Needs more Loomis

that platform is too small

Based gymbro

>read a book
That is what I do, but all my books are on my phone.

I received yet another letter from The New Yorker today, my worst decision was to actually subscribe for a year about 5 years ago, cuz they've been sending me spam mail monthly ever since. Also, yes it is possible to like high-quality writing while not being a liberal, though I don't know how bad it's gotten in the past 2 years

I do a Hepburn-style progression.
2-3 minutes between sets.
That's just enough time to stop feeling like hell and smack yourself in the face a couple times
Discipline == gains

Take a look at the background
I'll take a dedicated chick as a spotter/workout partner, even if she does too many glute sets, than that one cowclicking bro that always wants to teambench with 20+ minute rests

I use the stopwatch on my phone to time my rests, and then to occasionally to change my music.

Sue me

This is all I use my phone for
I tried nophone but it doesn't really work out as well as I'd hoped it would. The gym generally plays top 40 bullshit or sony/bmg/universal brand electronic music and I can't lift to that shit.

Speaking of which, I think the commercialization of EDM has made electronic music unbearable. I liked it years ago when it was separated into actual genres and really only popular with fellow eurofags in the states but now every college normy likes this hard drop bullshit that sounds like trash cans being bowled over.

>tfw my gym doesn't play music so everyone has headphones
>tfw I couldn't be social if I wanted to

I use my rest time to do other muscle groups. But I also look at my phone.

I should really get into doing this. The second I open up (((zuckerbook))) I overshoot my rests because my dumb ass fell for his lizard shit.

>he doesnt have a home gym

How do you even be social at the gym? Especially when everyone is bigger than you and will discard your attempts at conversation immediately.

>not lifting alone

All things considered, not bad.

>and she's looking up and outward like she should.

When you go to the same thing everyday and you see the same people you should at least say hi or some shit

Literally this. I pretty much know everyone who works out at the same time as me because I see them 5-6 days a week. You say hi a couple of times and next thing you know they ask you to spot them and you become fast friends.

Just randomly say hey though? I'm the gym twink, and my university gym is full of gym hunks. Why would they ask a twink to spot them?

>social media
>friends
hey there kiddo!
i think you might need a nappie poo

Name one right-wing periodical that comes anywhere close to the quality of the New Yorker's longform reporting.
(pro-tip, you can't)

>reading a book 2 minutes at a time like an ADHD spaz who wants to look smart
>becoming known to be the most retarded pretentious faggot in your gym

Pick two.

This. Takes a solid minute to read a page of Dostoevsky, so including the time it takes to find your place again youre reading 1, 2 pages max between sets. Why bring a book when youre only gonna read 15 pages?

Economist

Also, Foreign Policy

>hating cities
May as well declare your disdain of sapience and humanity as a whole

That's exactly what I do, and if it's a heavy set of squats, my rest time is up to 10 minutes.
I'm tired, so I just suck wind and think, maybe have some water.
