If you sit on a bench, machine, or anything else in a gym and use your phone instead of actively exercising, you are a FAGGOT!

Why do these people exist? If you need to make a call or rest, get the fuck out of everyone else's way.

Nah I think I'll sit and rest fuck you

Lazy faggot, you're only fucking yourself

Top lol.

The only other person i have met who also felt this way was this massive overweight australian who burped and farted his way around the gym flapping his towel, i assume to dry off the sweat?, the only thing he ever did was superset bicep curls and lateral shoulder raises and threw down his tiny weights after each set.

Now dont get me wrong, he worked hard at his super sets. An hour of solid curls raises etc etc and he was very very over weight. One of those chronic expats who spends toi much time drinking in the sun and thunks because he is taller and just fatter then youre average asian b extension he is some kind of authority man.

He came over and said to me as i squatted 3x3 180 kg and rested on my phome between sets

"The gym is for fahkin werkin not fah fukkin instaram"

I was actually listening to a podcast but nice try old man.

I said

M gonna get you kicked out for intimidation.

Right in front of him. Whilst he spluttered away. Only decent gym in town and cant do it any more. I dont care if you think im a pussy for not like i dunno punching him, i loved it. These repurcussions were far more long lasting.

I also got his company black balled as a service provider to my co pany so if they find out why im sure he'll be fired.

Great wednesday night. Best i ever had.

>do 1 set on bench
>rest between sets... welp better GET THE FUCK OUT OF EVERYONE ELSE'S WAY
>vacate the bench
>bench is vacant so someone else takes it
>proceeds to do 12 sets and rests on the bench between sets

th-thanks Jow Forums

>le gym is for working out, not resting xd
eat shit and die of cancer faggot, if you don't need to rest for at least 3 minutes after a heavy set, you're lifting babyweights. faggot

I think most people would be annoyed if they were in a crowded gym and someone -- perhaps multiple people -- were hogging a bench/machine because they were simply on their phone or resting.

It's incredibly selfish behavior, especially if they are sitting on a bench for dumbbells or a machine with pins that can be easily adjusted for anyone.

Checked. You handled the situation well, user. Proud of ya.

where do you propose I go when resting then?

Literally 3 people in the gym it was 10 pm in kuala lumpur

He never used the squat rack. I of course would be happy to work in with anyone on a busy day but i work late to avoid such situations

I think it's pretty clear that is different (positively) than the average person who just sits on a machine for 15 minutes and plays with a phone.

fag

>Literally 3 people in the gym it was 10 pm in kuala lumpur
My example was hypothetical. However, it could happen most days where I exercise.

How about this: I finish pushing a set out of say ~30 reps (inclined leg press at 180lb), then rack. I pull out my phone to change song, tabbing through like 6-7 tracks as I find something to push through with. Put phone away, hit it again. Am I still a faggot in your eyes, OP?

I only go to my gym when it's empty. I can rest wherever I want

Anyone doing a good amont of work is fine by me.

I think it's clear who is in the right and who is being a faggot in these situations.
I'm not sure why people defend those faggots.

what'dya say mate. i'm on the phone right now

are you op???
>if you have to rest, get the fuck out
then proceed to claim that resting is hundred percent fine
are you jsut really bad at wording things or yet to go to the gym for the first time??

They exist just to prove the point that you're a bitch who posts on Jow Forums about it, instead of making off with one of their plates and start curling it just to prove your own point.

Suck a dick faggot I'll rest all I want

You can rest while you squat. When I went to the gym I rotated between stations, and my cardio is better for it. Talking on the phone is not an exercise. I'll be taking your other plate now. It's for my other arm.

>circuitfagging
confirmed for dyel

Today is my rest day, but I do feel shame for not having used my bench in a week, because it's currently stacked with stuff that I'm too lazy to get rid of.

Post body with timestamp, I wanna see how someone looks after their first day at the gym

I warm up with your maxes so I'll do whatever the fuck I want and you won't say shit.

I don't think you're this edgy IRL

being on your phone for extended times is stupid yeah
but i've been harassed by fuckers just for sitting down for 2 minutes on a machine before

> do a set of seated rows two pins away from the entire stack for a set of 10(fuck off if you say machines are for fags, seated rows are great for upper back isolation)
> finish set and go on phone
> boomer comes up to me "umm if you're just gonna sit there do you wanna move?"
> immediately say back at him "fuck off im checking my fucking routine" then showed him my phone (i keep a little excel document on my phone where i keep track of weight lifted, reps, sets, etc)
> i continue "all you had to do was politely ask to work in and i'd have let you work in why be fucking asshole about it bro"
> he basically backs off kind of shocked and i see people around me staring at me and i just put my headphones back in and do another set

i've never snapped on anyone in public like this before. must be the new heightened confidence/ higher test from lifting

But this is exactly what happens. I rest as long as I want and DYELs like you never say shit.

The only people who work in sets at my gym come together. Nobody ever randomly asks another person if they can work in.

you made the right choice top jej

you could be checking reddit for all I care. It's fine to fuck around on your phone if you're resting between sets. Of course, I try not to rest more than 2 minutes and I get pissed if people rest over 3 minutes when the gym's busy

Where do you work out in KL? "Only decent place in town" you called it. I just started lifting and am looking to move out of the ghetto gym where I started.

fuck off faggot

> homegym masterrace reporting in
i would be up for murder charges otherwise

Not him but, even though you're supr stronk man 1million, people don't tell you shit because it's common courtesy not to fuck with people who claimed a station already. You're not the strongest guy at the gym. You will never be. Someone somewhere would crush you without even trying. Don't act like you're tough, because your logic makes you seem like a hot-headed downy.

>You can't exert yourself for more than 15 seconds at a time.
I guess I'm a goddamn miracle then.
The ATP system is local. You can still work out other muscles while the first ones recover.
