good point, Sir. Carry on.
Hey - it’s better than TALKING on the phone during lifting. Me and CubanMeat went to the gym this past Sunday. I did this in an hour:
lots of snatches
max out on Front squat
lots of prowler
some ring pull-ups
some concentration curls
CubanMeat did this in an hour, while arguing with his GF about nothing:
3 sets ring pull-ups
1 prowler trip
God I hope Mondo sees this.
I make a minimum of 2.99 a minute answering my phone so I take it to the gym with me. I’ve gotten some dirty looks when it rings but fuck, going outside and taking the call could pay my electric bill. If somebody doesn’t like it, fuck them, I’m not missing out on money to build some imaginary bullshit gym cred.

Thanks Judge, but about the Intensity thing, I dont know. I try not to text in the middle of my squat or DL. We are in a technology age that people will operate a 2000 pound vehicle at 70 mph on a highway to text smiley faces and OMG to there BFF’s. I get a little more upset with that then some 150 lb guy texting between his machines or 300 lb guy between sets of his DL’s. Still fun to make fun of people besides myself, we need a lets make fun of special needs thread. Oh and this is sarcasm for the reading impaired. Carry on.

If your sexts take 3-5 minutes, you’re doing something wrong… ooh, or you’re doing it right.
No one likes a quick sexter.

And he must lift naked like DB Cooper.
Op hit a nerve. I have never seen this many people trying to say that this thread is somehow more useless than 90% of the other threads on this site. Texting at any time in public just as is talking on your phone like a douche.
Chances are you really dont have anything important or even remotely interesting/worthwhile to say to an actual person, so why would you assume your thoughts are important enough to type down and send. If its not important/time relevant, it can wait. You are not that important.
Watching people in the gym is a lil pathetic.

I have a gym at work and I get to hear all sorts of retarded details of the things my co-workers do in the gym. I don’t use it for good reason!
People are just WAITING for something to talk about and complain about but instead of being total strangers, it’s coworkers so there is a real name and face. I could have lived without hearing about the change room ball drying habits of our senior accountant and how overweight Sarah from the mailroom looks in a sportsbra on the vibrating machine thankyouverymuch

I looked around today at golds and I see a cell phone next to every bench, and someone doing leg press and texting between sets.

that made me laugh, i’m a legend like willie smith[/quote]
It’s great advice, it really is. I’m not trying to be a dickhead by throwing it back at you or anything like that; it’s just that in situations like you described in the op, he who cares least wins. Why get all worked up over some douchebag at the gym texting in between every single set?

A guy was rocking the iPad working out. He was using mainly as a log but still a iPad to me is a little much. Pen and paper $5.
Not saying he solely bought the iPad for working out. But I wouldn’t be mad if my $5 log would get stollen.[/quote]
I always put my workout in meh phone. I see people hatin wondering if I’m texting. (:

And working out at your house you can do whatever you want. I also don’t mean the occasional text, more along the lines of the guy I saw sitting on the only incline bench with 95 lbs. for 35 min, lifted it twice because he was texting constantly. He was only lifting between texting sessions not the other way around.
If I’m in the middle of finding something out I’m not going to deliberately not bring my phone into the gym just because it’s proper meathead etiquette to do so.
But at the same time I’m not going to bring it in with me and ask myself who I should start texting once I start lifting.
