What are your thoughts on this comic, Jow Forums? Is it ok to use your phone between sets?
Of course it fucking is, what the fuck else are you going to look at exactly
I stopped bringing my phone in when I realized my sessions are around 15 minutes quicker when I'm not wasting time scrolling through shit
>what is thinking
I don't think the person who made this understands that you need to rest in between sets
>not piercing your own soul by staring into your mirrored eyes between sets
never gonna make it
>i close my eyes and think "grow grow grow"
Hahaha Lol okay there bucko
user you have a very important choice to make during your rest periouds
You can use your mobile device, custom tuned over the years for easy reading, filled with every bit of knowledge known to humans, ability to message your friends and family effortlessly, do homework, or track your routine
Or
Stare off aimlessly into space
What will you choose?
The right side is too kind on the gym roastie
This
It was probably drawn by a leftist cuck.
people who need it are addicted
but as long as they don't get in my way I give 0 fucks
Someone post the image i dont have it
The plight of the manlet
>haha people who dont want to cuck for fascism and value liberty are cucks
and you'll still be looking at dumb threads on Jow Forums faggot
thank fucking god i'm not the only one who does that.
every time i do an exercise next to a mirror, i stare myself in the eye until i'm ready to do another rep.
i wonder what people think of me when i do that
This sounds like a pejeet comic strip
>u go on Jow Forums you dumb retard
Lol Hahaha Okay bucko
>walk into gym
>see people using their phones while resting in between sets, maybe to set a timer or log lifts
>"EVERYONE'S JUST WASTING TIME! DOES ANYBODY ACTUALLY WORK OUT ANYMORE?"
Do boomers just not rest, or?
I need my phone to change music, refresher on my next triset at rest, and get Lyft out of the gym
>stare off aimlessly into space
>reflect
totally the same thing
>being so conditioned to need a screen in order to be productive that anything else is staring off aimlessly into space
jesus fuckin christ you make me sound like a boomer
I'm fuckin 25
fuck you I fell for the b8
nice b9
the don't rest, they DOMINATE
God I hope this is bait
Mandatory to use phone between sets
How on earth did any weight lifter survive without cell phones?
I feel like a retard when I do this
I never use my phone for browsing or texting or any shit like that, but my routine is all on my phone.
I check between warmup sets to remember how much weight I should be doing, and I always check to see how many sets and reps for each exercise I do.
How else am I supposed to remember all that shit?
>tfw my boomer neighbor just DOMINATED my lawn
If you're such a brainlet as to need an app to spoon feed you a routine or count reps, it's OK I guess.
But browsing/texting/etc is just pathetic. Just lay off the fucking pacifier already
t. 36 year old boomer with a.notebook and pen, I hate phone addicts.
I will do whatever the fuck I want between my sets.
Also you're fucking up your cervicals and posture. Not good.
if you don't extend your rests because of the phone, sure
If I ever see one of you faggots scrolling through Jow Forums between sets, I will drop a pl8 on your head.
>such a brainlet as to need an app
>boomer with a.notebook and pen
so you are such a brainlet that you need a notebook and pen huh gramps ?
The Instagram comments for this comic are pretty cringe
> touching your phone after touching the dirty equipment
yeah, nah you fucking disgusting subhumans
I don't think the person who made this post understands that he's DYEL
I'm always on my phone picking the next perfect song
they are right though, only because it is maybe ~90% true you shouldnt make it appear like it is the norm and force people into gender roles. if anything it should be the other way around to encourage girls to lift heavy and guys to make take it a bit more easy and have fun. the way they have portrayed it is indeed problematic.
These retards not noticing there are two women in the actual excercise section and two men in the phone one. Unreal lack of awareness.
I keep a journal of my lifts, as opposed to having an app doing the thinking for me i.e. percentages, etc
Are these people retarded? The left pic has two women and a man walking into the actual exercise room. The right pic has two men and a woman walking into the phone room. If anything, it's the opposite of what they're saying
>
>implying you're not doing this with your phone too
I also only keep a journal of my lifts, just on my phone because I have that with me anyway. I use it to listen to music and log my lifts. why would I use paper when I already have my phone with me ? dont you boomers ever think about the evironment ? I bet you are still driving some retarded pickup truck that uses tons of gas instead of biking, using public transportation or maybe having an electric car. funny how brainwashed you boomers still are.
Started doing this two days ago with the same results.
No way in sweet fuck am I listening to my gyms default playlist.
>he doesn't use a 10 year old ipod with 50 GB of music
I only use my phone to track my lifts, which means I use it for a grand total of above 2 seconds between each set.
none of you are going to make any gains
listen to zyzz and schwarzenegger
never "track" your workout
do as much as you can
always try to sensibly go up in weight
if you cant remember your workout and stats in your mind, kys
Strongliftfags need not apply
Imagine going through life and literally seeing gender inequalities everywhere you look. Has to be fucking exhausting
This desu most gyms I've been to play pleb tier shit. No way I'm listening to that for hours every week. My uni weight room didn't play music which was fucking sweet cause while I prefer to wear headphones, sometimes it's nice to not listen to anything and just lift
Yesterday this fucker was just sitting there for 10 minutes on his phone, hogging the rack. That is the BS I think this comic is refering to. Yeah take breather between sets but this place is packed all the time. Get in, do your sets, get out.
What the fuck am I supposed to do between sets? Stare at the floor?
Besides I use my phone to time my rest times.
kek
What. I was replying to myself/adding to what I wrote.
Retard, look at all the people in the picture, jfc.
> paper is more polluting than a discarded smartphone
OK zoomer, whatever helps you sleep at night.
And no, I already told my SO years ago that he can forget about us ever getting a car, at least a gasoline one.
Breath and focus
>Have my entire routine saved on a notepad on my phone
>Really only use it to skip a song or check what the next exercise is
>Started remembering my routines off of memory
>Get one of those wireless headphones that you can manipulate the volume and skip song without touching your phone
>Now only bring my phone around for music
Half the time I don't even remember it's there until my music starts getting choppy
I'm reading this thread between my squat sets now. Why shouldn't I?
but women in yoga pants are nice too look at. Especially if they do their meme exercises, reminds me of cute animals at the zoo.
Yesterday a girl couldnt lower the leg press from the starting position because her legs are too short. I helped and felt could. Its basically like a puppy at home: Completely useless but fun to have around.
>bucko
Spotted the boomer
they conversed but 99% of people at the gym have headphones on now
everyone is anti social
being on your phone is literally the only thing to do between sets
imaging memorizing every single weight you did for every single exercise throughout the week
that's fucking stupid lol
>using memes from 2018
Hahaha Lol okay there bucko
I only use my phone to change music and log my sets and reps.
Tracking progress in Google sheets is a must. Then I can kill time at work looking through progress and suits think I'm just running numbers on profit
Also, you can see where you plataued, how u broke out of it, what led up to injury, etc
Imagine being such a brainlet that you can't recall a bunch of basic numbers
I use my phone for music and to time my rests. Some people browse/text/etc. in between their sets and it bothers me, but whatever. If I'm waiting for something and I see someone doing this, I'll keep pestering them about it until they get a hint.
I only use my phone for music brahs. I fucking hate the people who just fuck around on their phone the whole time they are in the gym.
And there are always those thots who are literally just snapping selfies and snapchat vids and other narcissistic bullshit.
To answer the question about what to look at while resting... I just look at myself or around me. Think of it like quick meditation. I just think about hitting my next set.
>do a set
>activate 60 second timer on phone
>alarm goes off. deactivate. do another set
so im pretty much always on my phone, but only because im looking setting off the timer, and then looking at it. thats legit, and it really makes my sets efficient. not always 60 seconds, but you get the idea
I use my phone to keep track of my program and progress. (Sometimes I take a selfie) I have a fitness app installed, occasionally my girl will text me, I'll shoot her a quick message then back to the app. I also use my phone for music in the background to pump me up! Yes I wear bluetooth headphones in the gym, I also have a smart watch keeping an eye on my heart rate, steps and duration of my workouts. When at home my phone is hardly on me it's normally on the charger.
I too do this during 60 sec rest period. Sometimes even snap a pic and send it to the GF to make her horny.
oh no no no
they think youre a fucking autist
I have various injuries and can't lift too much, doctors orders. I fucked myself up pretty good with all the crazy shit I did on drugs. Here's what I looked like on drugs. Its from my old facebook.
I do this all the time breh.
Yup this, I set the stopwatch on my phone and browse Jow Forums. I have a pretty good feel for when a minute/1.5 mins is and use the stopwatch to make sure I'm exact.
>I stare into space between lifts and walk from workout to workout in a trancelike state.
>Oh my notebook? I'm writing a story. I write in it and read it at the gym. The title: "The Strongest Version of Myself".
>Chapter 1:
>Weighted Dips
Yes it is as long as you do it during rest time between sets and moving to next exercise, otherwise it is not okay. Dont let boomers tell you using a phone is the devil's work. I use it for music, timers for rest period (45-90 seconds), and whatever the fuck else that arises
lol the artist clearly goes out of their way to have 2 girls on the left and 2 guys on the right because of how overly sensitive women are
yet they're still outraged
Do It all the time, what is the problem?
>Chapter 5:
>Maxo Hexbar Sumo Pendlay Curls
At least I'm not a barely functional individual that has to mediate and experience life constantly through a screen 5 inches from his face, lest he gets anxiety and withdrawal symptons
>Working out in a dirty aid infested nig nog gym
Looooooool you are the livin version of pic related
>he does squats and deadlifts and tracks his weight and rep progress like a nerd, wears warm clothes cause muh joints and focuses on lifts
>versus doing bench and curls, not counting shit, taking casual pics flexing arms
i usually pace back and forth in front of the bar with subtle intermediate flexing
How autistic would it be to read a book during resting ?
I do it all the time, what are you going to do about it?
You need a minimum of 3mins between big weight low rep sets (for compound lifts) though
I only bring my phone to check time and sometimes to record form. Also just in case there's an emergency and I need to be reached.
I don't dick around on it.
Meditation is good for you, and will assist in lowering your heart rate. Reflection on what you just did and what you're about to do is also beneficial.
I would be willing to bet money that more injuries associated with lifting happen to those listening to music all the time or playing on their phone between sets instead of spending a little time thinking and meditating like a goddamn man.
depends what youre trying to accomplish
Hello notebook brother. I like my notebook but I feel like the notebook and pen can be a bit awkward.
Do you know of any good notebook+pen combos that are great to tuck into your pocket and aren't awkward?
I look at my phone between sets. I also lift more than most people on Jow Forums. There's nothing wrong with looking at your phone, faggots.
>Two girls currently working out on the left side and only one guy going in.
>Two guys phone-staring on the right side and only one woman going in.
>ohmahgawd dey jus' gotta 'ssume we womenfolk ain't got no knowhow for strong lifty game
This is your brain on feminism.
