I like to text my PRs to my training buddy - we no longer go to the same gym. That’s about it.

I knew Arnold, Dave is no Arnold
Next question for the debate?[/quote]
Yeah, not a lot of people have the genetics of Arnold, but you just said no one that texts has any intensity, I just proved you wrong. You’re mad?

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.[/quote]
Neither are you, well that is what your woman just texted me with a blow job face.

Dave was also stronger than Arnold.
In the gym, you go hard or go home.

Im on call 24/7/365, I work out in my garage and I text. Where do I stand in this list?[/quote]
I say its allowed, and I’m judge and jury. lol
I will bet $1, those texting, texting, not changing a song, but texting during their workout
have NO INTENSITY
[/quote]
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. [/quote]
The sarcasm is because it is fun to make fun of you?

I’ve seen plenty of built guys text between sets.
I normally don’t say this, but this thread is ridiculous. My god, someone has their phone with them when they work out! Nevermind the fact that they might have important texts to possibly look out for (Such as work-related texts), or that they have something planned and are waiting for someone’s response, etc…
I’m also of the mind that while it’s obviously OK to have your phone around if you need it that it’s also a little, well, I guess I’m showing my age but a little bit like a teenage girl to be using your phone a lot.
I mean like constantly picking it up and checking it and texting a lot and calling and chatting for more than 2 minutes etc. Even if you’re not in the gym.
Next question, is it alright to drink while you are working out?
Should one get wasted while working out, drink until things become hilarious while working out, or just remain completely sober while working out?

Great idea… competition where competitors have to break the seal on a bottle of vodka on camera (so we know it’s real vodka and not water) do 5 shots, wait 5 minutes, then go for snatch prs (which most people can’t do stone cold sober). Wonder how many broken bones/dislocated shoulders we’d have?

Yeah over phone use in any situation bugs me, maybe I should quit paying attention to other peoples shit. And I don’t think you’re showing your age I’m not quite 25 and I feel the same way.

I have a theory, because after 28 drinks, my legs pretty much feel twice as strong as before. So I was thinking that if ya get tipsy then the super legs come out and before you know it everyone will double their squat to a 1000.

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? [/quote]
As long as said douchbag’s phone is on vibrate. I don’t want to hear some chucklehead’s Pink Panther ringtone go off mid squat.

Which begs the question, why are you paying attention to other people mid squat?
Wait… You can’t hear things if you’re not paying attention?
