What to do inbetween sets?

Any advice for what to do inbetween sets. I usually just go on my phone but I know that's holding me back.

A thread died for this.

Walk or dynamic stretching, keep the blood flowing and avoid lactic acid build up

Think about your life.

Stare into space while awkwardly pacing around. Works for me.

That's the Last thing I want to do.

I play fetch with my dog, or talk to him, tell him he's the best workout buddy in the world.

Huh?

holding you back how? stop blaming your lack of discipline on your phone, faggot. getting off your phone at the gym won't help your 5x5.

Think about my grocery list while walking and breathing

You do superset, right user?

I get the feeling I'm less focused/motivated when it comes time to get back to lifting. No need to crab bucket.

>crab bucket
Motivation is fickle, discipline is unrelenting. Stop being a child and looking for a reason/finding an outlet to blame for your weakness. Do it because that is what you do. You go to the gym to progress. Else, quit.

True, but it's not a question of being motivated or disciplined. I'd rather be both, if at all possible.

make small talk with randoms at the gym

Pray the rosary. If your doing five sets, than you can do a decade for each one.

You can't, user. Your dog died, your boyfriend broke up with (You), its snowing, you lost your job, etc etc. Motivation comes and goes. Whatever may motivate you today may not motivate you 292 days from now. It is like a porn addiction; a dopamine addiction. Constantly searching for a FEELING to do anything. Fuck your feelings.

Funny imagining the faces of the gym goers seeing someone praying the rosary inbetween sets

One time I furiously jerked off inbetween sets and one of my nuts went inside me. Was really scared. Now I just go on my phone and look at shit that bores me

Did it come back out

Yeah I was jumping up and down and it came back out

Take deep 100% lung expanding breaths to saturate with oxygen and decrease heart rate.

Get lucky and some shitty YouTube gym cringe compilation will make you famous.

Squats.

I usually just do Arm/Chest/Back days. So in between sets, I do 20-25 body squats or sometimes I'll do 15 dumbbell squats. By the end of my work out I will have done 200 squats. My quads have never been bigger and I don't have to worry about dedicating time for a leg day.

Tidy up the area around you. Put dumbbells and barbells in their correct spot. Arrange the plates correctly on their trees. Leave the gym nicer than it was when you arrived.

I read between sets.

Jow Forums will call you a beta pussy but this is actually based

>Lizard people

1st of all, time your breaks.
Back in high school I used to do math excercise sheets, now I do chess puzzles. Makes you feel like you're wasting less time if you actually do something small like this.

If you're going to do chess, I recommend lichess app.

>not doing a core workout in between sets as active recovery
>not doing antagonistic muscle groups in between your main lift to do more in less time

NGMI bro

I pray Hail Marys and the Lord’s Prayer between sets.

How? Phone screens aren't actually catabolic, you dweeb.

If it makes you feel any better, odds are it was some sort of cancerous nofap/nocoom/noporn/notech/nodopamine/drinkwater/etc/etc/etc thread that has this neurotic retard OP thinking he can't check the score of the Yankee game between sets in the first place.

He's helping you, dumbshit. Admitting that you're a dumbshit is the first step in no longer being a dumbshit. Your phone should be HELPING you get back to lifting, but you're too much of a dumbshit to set a timer on the fucking thing for however long you wish to rest in between sets.

Stop obsessing over irrelevant, penny ante bullshit and just lift. There is no secret "redpill" to "making it" that we just aren't telling you, stop asking.

That guy admiring the ass.

This. Time is precious and working antagonist muscles or accessories in between is the only way to get it all in.

This

I pace back and forth, stare at the wall, think deeply about minmaxing some shit in some game and try not to accidentally look at girls

His wife looks like a dude that destroyed me at a BJJ tournament.

Why the fuck are so many people watching her lift 25 pounds? Are they impressed?

>implying they don't have hordes of niggers and Mexicans to do it instead

Holy fucking shit just do nothing, or take a short walk. Don't be a retard.

She did it 50 times really really fast

Joint mobility Prehab rehab exercises Stretch since I neglect it.

superset everything with shrugs

I'm going /nophone/ so i usually stand up, walk, breathe a bit, sit down and look somwhere not at people while i get ready for my next set.

>Implying minorites are combat effective

Just because “motivation is fickle” doesn’t mean you should deliberately put yourself into a tampon mindset right before each set.
Try having the “discipline” to not require immediate sense gratification for every waking second so that way when you actually get around to doing your set you’re not a lobotomized casual from staring at a screen like someone who had their pineal gland removed.

>stop fueling your dopamine addiction by constantly searching for feeling.
Nigger, this is exactly what’s being done when you look at your phone in between sets

I usually practise french or japanese by listening to what ever music the gym is playing and try convert the lyrics

>tattoos.

Rest for less time? Do like 30 seconds between sets, do you want put yourself in a situation in life where you need a few minutes before going all out again, if it was possible i wouldn’t take any rest between sets, that would be cool.

hey, as you lift heavier or on less reps, does your time inbetween sets increase? right now im doing 40 secs between sets and i dont think you can actually do anything in that time

>slap dick

The best thing you can do between sets is meditation. Close your eyes and control your breathing. Take deep breaths.

More oxygen = less tired for next set

>40 seconds
dear god why?
try 120 seconds at least

How did you attain such levels of discipline, wisdom and overall basedness ?

I walk in circles and kick the squat rack.

talk to my gym buddy im working out with
breathe and rest if its a heavy exercise
chat with my bros on whatsapp or whoever im chatting with atm
if cant do none of the above, stare at myself in the mirror like a fucking psycopath, ocasionally laugh or grin
browse insta, dont do this that often since i stopped using it cause its shit
think about good things to come, like buying my first motorcycle, or how fucking aesthetic im going to look in the future

Superset your main lifts with ten reps of floor sweeps, work some equipment dusting into your accessory lifts, and put 1xF mopping at the end of your ab routine

I scroll instagram for 1-2 minutes in between sets. Lots of good eye candy on there.

>The irony that whatever that thing is actually resembles this pic so closely.

gotta get that test boost inbetween sets for optimal performance

Personally, after each set I prefer to coom a handful on my gym towel.

Do another set of something, depending on what you're doing.

On heavy days (low rep, high weight), I don't do much between sets of like squats. I just focus on breathing and rebuilding ATP by telling myself, "ATP come to me." I doubt it works but it makes me feel like I'm doing something and creating focus for the next set.

On volume days (high rep, lower weight), I try to superset things that don't always involve the same muscles. I'll do dead hangs between some things, hyper-extensions between others, if only to keep the heart rate up.

Sometimes I do nothing.

watch the timer count down. 2:30, 2:29, 2:28...

Look up crime statistics to fuel your hatred for the next set
