What are your thoughts on this comic, Jow Forums? Is it ok to use your phone between sets?

It was probably drawn by a leftist cuck.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

I do it all the time, what are you going to do about it?

Attached: 1464642409726.jpg (540x359, 70K)

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.
