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.[/quote]

Well, I assume this means you are the gay bff she always starts texting to after I put it in her butt or cum on her face. Maybe if you werent texting so often you could get blowh=jobs from real girls too.

I only lift in my garage gym, but while I visit my parents for Christmas I’ll be hitting up a commercial gym near their house. Can you do me a favor and post all of the rules and regulations involving proper commercial gym decorum and etiquette IN DETAIL so that I can minimize as much as possible the chances of making a complete ass out of myself while I’m there?

I know he who cares least wins, but I care and I am resigned to losing because…I…just…want…to…fit…in.

ok, off the top of my head, leave your phone in the car
if you go to the bubbler (new england term for water fountain) and you have a bottle to fill
but someone behind you just wants to sip water, let that person cut you
Ask the kid working at the gym, when he gets his license back
Tell your employees to work out and not bother you
have a playlist of rammstein, slayer, meshuggah, coal chamber, devil driver, etc.
Don’t post your stripper agency card on the men’s locker room board
Ignore the hottest chick, he who cares least wins
can you remember all that, if you forget, just text me lol

i bring my phone with me if i’m expecting a call or something… but not every day.

i don’t care if other people text, what gets me is if they’re having a full blown conversation… i want to tell them how much they resemble a dbag

92

I have a good 2-3 minutes between sets…usually I am staring off into the abyss or at some hot girl. As long as you’re not texting instead of actually working out, i don’t see the problem.

Hahahahahahahaha yea crushing balls during box squats are not good in the gym. :slight_smile:

I only really care what anyone else is doing in the gym if they are using something I’m waiting for. For the most part i have tunnel vision.

I’ve pulled my phone out and texted a fellow lifting buddy (bugeishaAD for one) fight after i hit a PR then put my phone (also my iPod) back away and continued the workout.

Actually i remember one time bug was going to go for a big PR on bench and we were literally texting the whole time through warm ups and everything. Every single one was a psyche you up get intense as fuck message tho. Ah the good ol days. Miss you bug baby! <3 lmao

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuck, I’ll never live that one down. Come on Hallowed, admit it. If you could lift in a windowless garage, you’d be lifting naked too. Hell, it regularly cracks 100 up here in the summer, and even at night it only drops down to about 85. Naked is the only way to go sometimes.

No, the anti-text brigade likely frowns upon your decision to text at the gym.

Personally, I’m such a rebel that I will continue to text at the gym. The other day, I probably texted seven times (SEVEN TIMES!!!) while working out at the gym. The text correspondence was regarding meeting up with my gf.

I’m sure the thread-starter, as well as the rest of the anti-text brigade, just roid raged and threw their laptops against the floor in response to the content of my post.

I text while working out. I wear shirts with the sleeves cut off too. Bite me.

101

I use my I phone to record various lifts. Sometimes I send them to a friend. Any anti texting people can go screw themselves.

Btw, I own my gym. If I allow you to work out there I only disallow texting while spotting me.
